If it’s not raining, you can see him exploring all the nooks and crannies of Gros Morne.

Tune into Bonne Bay Morning on Wednesdays and be treated to an eclectic mix of music including plenty of Canadian content. Gloria shares lots of community news and events, hosts interesting interviews and can often be found dancing in the studio in between time at the mic. Gloria lives in Rocky Harbour with her husband, Ian, and two young daughters who, for the time being, think it’s cool that their mom is on the radio.

Mike and Kathy Madigan
Kathy & Mike host Bonne Bay Morning Thursdays from Woody Point (summers) & from Wolfville NS.

Hiking, gardening,… and a nightly game of Cribbage keeps them sane, happy, and able to add.

Wayne Parsons
Wayne Parsons has made music his life. Always the musician, he has played in many bands over the years and continues to do so today. Growing up in Gros Morne, he values and cherishes the beauty that surrounds him and never takes for granted how blessed he is to live here. His love of music has him continually searching out both new and old music and his passion for sharing it is given a platform on VOBB Radio, where he loves to host a morning show.
Charlie Payne
If you are around the Winterhouse Brook/Woody Point area, you might find Charlie tending to his vegetable patch or you might even be lucky enough to catch him playing a few lively accordion tunes on a wharf, in a shed or in one of the little pubs on the waterfront. A lifetime resident of the area, he loves a good yarn, especially about the rich and colourful history of the Bonne Bay Area.
Renée Pilgrim
When Renee isn’t poking people with Acupuncture needles up and down the coast of the GNP, she’s connecting with community.
