Pentictonites have lost a familiar voice in the morning.

Kyle Stewart, the morning show host of Penticton含羞草研究社檚 most popular FM radio station, Move 97.1, has been taken off the airwaves.

The station was re-branded as Move 97.1 from the more familiar 97.1 Sun FM on Dec. 27, 2020 by the station含羞草研究社檚 parent company Bell Media.

Stewart含羞草研究社檚 three year run as 97.1含羞草研究社檚 morning host came to an end Feb. 4, as Bell Media cut many positions at their subsidiaries across the country.

含羞草研究社淯nfortunately I am no longer a Bell Media employee. It was an absolute pleasure and honour spending my mornings with everyone. I learned a lot, laughed a lot, maybe even shed a tear or two. There are so many memories made that I am so grateful for and I will cherish forever,含羞草研究社� Stewart wrote in a Facebook post.

Stewart wasn含羞草研究社檛 just a familiar voice in the community, but also a familiar face. The former radio host also serves as the MC at Penticton Vees games and could often be seen around town at the 97.1 Sun FM booth at most community events.

含羞草研究社淭hank you so much if you listened, joined one of my many ridiculous conversations, helped me finish off a sentence, or cheered with me at one of the Vees games,含羞草研究社� Stewart wrote.
