For Immediate Release
CALGARY, March 9, 2022 – Radio’s 770 CHQR in Calgary and 630 CHED in Edmonton are excited to announce Your Province. Your Premier, a new one-hour call-in radio show with the Premier of Alberta Jason Kenney. Starting March 12, every Saturday morning at 10 a.m. M.T., Corus Radio will renew a long-standing tradition of giving Albertans the ability to take their questions directly to the Premier.
Hosted by former 770 CHQR anchor Wayne Nelson with calls and topics chosen by our team of radio producers, no subject is off limits. From health care and COVID-19 to the economy and job creation, listeners can speak directly to the Premier about the issues that affect them.
“This is an important time for Albertans. They have many questions for their leaders about the future and direction of our province,” said John Vos, Regional Program Director, Corus Radio. “People want to know how their government intends to deal with the immense challenges that lie ahead whether it be the global pandemic, future of our economy, or affordability for their families. The ability for our listeners to ask questions directly to the premier is about as transparent as it gets.”
Alberta’s 18th Premier, Kenney was elected in 2019 after being named Leader of Alberta’s Progressive Conservative Party in 2016, and the Leader of the United Conservative Party in 2017. He previously served as Minister for Multiculturalism, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Minister of Employment and Social Development and Minister of National Defense under Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
“I am looking forward to this exciting opportunity to hear directly from Albertans on the issues that matter to them,” said Premier Kenney.
To speak to the Premier, listeners can call or text 403-974-8255 in Calgary and 780-496-0063 in Edmonton or call 1-800-563-7770 from anywhere in the province.
