Drew Hosick

News and Afternoons I've spent more than 10 years in the industry with a start in Alberta, but most of my time has been spent with Vista stations. My career in Vista began in Bancroft with a move to Kemptville in 2012 to help launch what is now 97.5 Juice FM. For the first four and a half years I was the morning show host on Juice and recently have taken over afternoons and news reporting for the station in addition to other duties. While I'm originally from a small town in Northern Ontario called Smooth Rock Falls, my wife hails from Winchester and we call the region home.
