We just boarded Serenade and the CD name listed on the board at guest services is Ken Jones. We haven't met him or seen him nor do we know when he started or will be leaving. Maybe we'll eventually find out.

 

 

Never heard of him! Thanks for the info, Gina!

Anyone know who the CD will be on Freedom in March when Graham is on leave?

 

The last few times, it has been Drew Devine who covered Graham's breaks. But, that doesn't necessarily mean it will be him again this time! Much of the time, with the exception of a few CD's with regular assignments, the schedule isn't set this far in advance and is subject to change up until the last moment, so even the CDs themselves aren't sure where they will be a few months from now.

Oasis OTS - Ricky Matthews 10/6 until 12/1 .

 

Who will replace Ricky Matthews on the OTS in february ?

 

Again, we can only guess at this point, but Amy Fickert has been the regular CD on Oasis for a while, doing 4 months on followed by a 2 month break. Ricky is currently covering the break, and it is likely that Amy will return in December. But, it is also possible that someone else will come on as the regular CD in December, and Amy will be reassigned as CD elsewhere.
