Official Home of the 1050 CHUM Saturday Night Oldies Dance
Amber(Payie) has spent 13 amazing years at the greatest radio station in North America!! She began her career at CHUM in February 1994 when plucked out of Humber College to stand at a 1050 CHUM booth at the Auto Show… for 10 days… 12 hours each day. Amber must have done something right because from there, she moved around in the CHUM building absorbing many aspects of the radio industry. After the Auto Show, Amber was hired to represent 1050 CHUM at all promotional events and was given the nickname “On-Location Amber” by then morning man, Robbie Evans. Paid only $50.00/week she cherished the opportunity. Amber has been a part of almost every department at CHUM from Promotions for both 1050 CHUM and sister station 104.5 CHUM FM, to working along side the talented Bob Laine in the CHUM Radio Network. For 4 years Amber coordinated the CHUMCity Christmas Wish program from 1995 – 1998. It’s a program that continues to be near and dear to Amber’s heart. Currently, Amber is the afternoon traffic reporter on 1050 CHUM, 104.5 CHUM FM and CP24. Amber can be heard every morning with Gord James and the James Gang as 1050 CHUM’s Entertainment Reporter, and she has her own time slots on 1050 CHUM from 10am – Noon weekdays… and host of Sweet Dreams – the greatest love songs of Rock and Roll heard every night from 10:50pm until Midnight. Amber also has the occasional announcer role on 104.5 CHUM FM.Thrilled to host the 1050 CHUM Friday Night Oldies Dance at Johnny B's every Friday night, Amber really enjoys meeting those who love the great oldies played on 1050 CHUM.
