TORONTO (March 1, 2021) – iHeartRadio Canada’s Talk Network announced today an all-new national radio program and podcast hosted by veteran broadcaster Jim Richards, THE LATE SHOWGRAM WITH JIM RICHARDS, airing weeknights from 12 midnight – 5 a.m. ET. The first episode is available for listening here.

On THE LATE SHOWGRAM WITH JIM RICHARDS, Richards delivers his refreshing and light-hearted perspective to Canadians across the country, focusing on the news and social issues of the day. Richards is joined on the program by some of the country’s most entertaining and unique personalities, as well as the voices behind the day’s biggest – and smallest – news stories.

“There has always been an intimacy to late night radio. We will bring some laughs to that space,” said Richards. “My hope is that at one point, the audience will stare at their smart speaker or radio and say, ‘What the ____ is that guy doing?’, whether they’re listening live or to the podcast.”
