In October 2024, long-time media professional and cultural advocate, Danae Peart, made a celebrated return to the airwaves as a radio host on VIBE105.5FM. Known for her behind-the-scenes leadership roles, this marks her first foray as a “swing jock” \u2014 a dynamic, on-air personality tackling a new format in a different era of broadcasting.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on her journey, she recalls the pivotal transformation of CHRY into VIBE105, a major reorganization that kept her firmly behind the scenes. “That ship had sailed,” she thought, believing her on-air days were behind her. Yet, her enduring passion for radio, reggae, and cultural broadcasting never wavered.<\/p>\n
A concerning trend \u2014 the erasure of reggae from major platforms, including the JUNO Awards \u2014 reignited her commitment. Motivated to be part of the solution rather than a bystander, she decided to take action. “Can I do more? Can I truly influence the next phase of growth for the things I love?” These questions propelled her back into the spotlight, determined to use her expertise to teach, critique, and elevate the genre.<\/p>\n
Now hosting a weekday show from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., she promises a magical blend of content, even if listeners catch her “in the office during meetings” while her voice rules the airwaves. Despite battling post-New Year\u2019s illness, her energy and passion shine through each broadcast.<\/p>\n
“Radio still has magic,” she affirms, inviting audiences to tune in and be part of this new chapter.<\/p>\n
Her return signals not only a personal transformation but also a renewed commitment to preserving and advancing reggae and cultural broadcasting for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
