From the mind of Kelly & Co. host Kelly MacDonald comes a behind-the-scenes look at one of the show’s biggest evolutions—taking it on the road! When Kelly and Company was first being shaped, Kelly had one big request: remotes. Not just sitting in a studio, but actually getting out, meeting people, and bringing the show to the audience.
It started with a simple idea, but thanks to John Melville and AMI leadership, that vision became reality. The team hit the road, covering events like the CNIB Expo during White Cane Week in Toronto (2017), followed by stops in Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton. These live broadcasts were more than just great radio—they connected Kelly and Company with the very people it was made for.
For Kelly, it was a dream come true—standing in front of a crowd, feeling like the broadcaster he always wanted to be. And in the world of audio? It was pure magic. 🎩🎧
