TOP 30 SELECTED IN SEARCH FOR NEW VOICE OF OTTAWA RADIO

JUMP! 106.9 Receives Overwhelming Response in Search for New Co-Host

OTTAWA (ON) – Since early March, JUMP! 106.9 has given aspiring broadcasters the chance to achieve instant radio fame with the station’s “Greatest Gig On Earth,” a nine-week search for the new co-host of their morning show.

Over 160 hopefuls uploaded their submission videos before the April 2 deadline, each looking to land the coveted spot alongside current breakfast show host Tony Stark.

“I am absolutely floored by the reaction! And I am positive Ottawa’s next radio star is in this competition... don't touch my shoes!” said Stark. “We launched this search in hopes of finding a total radio newbie – someone the entire city will love listening to. We’re extremely confident that he or she is in our top 30.”

Upon submitting their video, participants were given a series of tasks to complete on social media – further proof the advent of social media has opened the door to finding on-air talent in new, non-traditional ways.

With the field narrowed down to 30, the station is encouraging everyone to vote online for their favourite. Videos are posted on www.jumpradio.ca.

“With #JUMPSGREATESTGIG, our search has really taken off on social media,” said Mark Dickie, general manager of Corus Radio Ottawa. “We’ve had some fantastic entries, including some humorous videos from members of the Ottawa Fury FC, Ottawa REDBLACKS, and Canadian recording artists Shawn Desman and Kardinal Offishall.”

Online voting closes at noon on April 9, narrowing the field down to the top 10. A live audition process on April 19, featuring a celebrity panel of judges including celebrated Canadian singer/songwriter Karl Wolf, will then whittle the participants down to 5 and 3, respectively. The winner will be announced on-air on Friday, May 8.

Listeners are encouraged to spread the word using #JUMPSGREATESTGIG.

JUMP! 106.9 Hosting City-Wide Search for New Morning Show Co-Host and we wanted to share all the info with you.

OTTAWA (ON) – Breaking into the broadcasting world could mean years of studying, and taking on less-than-ideal positions in smaller markets, working to climb the proverbial corporate ladder.

JUMP! 106.9, a popular Ottawa radio station, however, is giving aspiring broadcasters the chance to achieve instant radio fame with the station’s “Greatest Gig On Earth,” a nine-week search for the new co-host of their morning show.

And while the search is a reflection of the station’s bold and vibrant image, the end result is a real full-time job, co-hosting alongside current morning show host Tony Stark.

“We’re looking for the fresh, new voice of Ottawa radio – someone the entire city will love listening to,” said Mark Dickie, general manager of Corus Radio Ottawa. “We’ve launched this search in hopes of finding a total radio newbie. We want teachers, dishwashers, bartenders, etc., to know they have a chance to be Tony Stark’s co-host on JUMP!’s Breakfast Show. No radio experience is required.”

The “Greatest Gig On Earth” launches Friday, March 6, at midnight, with the winner announced in May. The submission process is simple: upload a 90-second video of yourself to YouTube, and complete the entry form at www.jumpradio.ca.

According to Dickie, the advent of social media has opened the door to finding on-air talent in new, non-traditional ways.

“Interaction on social media and our station’s mobile application is tremendously important,” he said. “Over the nine-week period, applicants will be given a number of fun tasks to complete over social media, allowing us to get a true sense of their character.”

Video submissions will be accepted until noon on Thursday, April 2. The station will then narrow the entries down to 30, at which point the public will have the opportunity to vote online for their favourite(s), narrowing the field to 10. A live audition process will then whittle the participants down to 5 and 3, respectively, with the winner announced on-air on Friday, May 8.

The “Greatest Gig On Earth” is open to Canadian residents, 18 years of age and over. Full details can be found at www.jumpradio.ca.

The 2014 Emmy Awards: Best Dressed List

The Emmys are one of my favorite awards shows of the season. I find there are so many talented actors and wonderfully creative shows on the small screen and it is great to see them receive recognition. Monday night's awards ceremony was a pleasure to watch and the celebs definitely brought their A game to the red carpet! Here is a list of my favorite looks from the night:

January Jones stole the show with her stunning Prabal Gurung gown. I especially love the higher hemline at the front to show off those gorgeous cage heels.

Gwen Stefani definitely kept my attention in this Atelier Versace gown. I really love how she styled the look with sleek hair and minimal accessories and didn't don her infamous red lipstick. I barely recognized her at first! 

Does she NEVER age?!? Julia Roberts is pulling a serious Benjamin Button here in this Elie Saab Couture mini and those Louboutin heels. Love!

Although her main man Matthew McConaughey didn't get the recognition he deserved for True Detective, he did win big in other ways. Wife Camila Alves definitely stole the spotlight in this stunning Zuhair Murad gown. It goes so well with her skin tone. White is said to be a difficult thing to wear on the runway but boy does she prove them wrong.

I am so drawn to Kerri Washington's Prada look. I think the sparkly mini skirt peeping under a high slight is genius. That orange tone looks great on her too! 

Sarah Hyland is definitely settling into her look these days. The Christian Siriano design was a great choice, especially seeing as she accepted her 5th(!!) consecutive award for Modern Family. I love the youthful high bun pared with the dainty straps on the top. Just perfect.

2014 MTV VMA Show - Best and Worst Dressed

Well, the MTV VMAs were back at it last night! As usual, the red carpet was peppered with some successful and some not-so-successful fashion risks. There was certainly no lack of exposed flesh on display with some of the highest slits I've ever seen and some "J-Lo worthy" plunging necklines. While there was almost too much nudity for my liking, a few gems did pop out of the crowd. I gravitated towards the separates partially because the majority of the gowns were underwhelming.

MY FAVES

In a sea of revealing gowns and mini dresses, Gwen Stefani rocked it in this hot pink and black ensemble. I absolutely loved this look, especially with the hot pink lips and punky Lorraine Schwartz rings. Win.

Ingrid Nilsen, of Youtube beauty fame, is making me swoon over these Christian Siriano separates. You can kind of sense a trend here that I am a major fan of hot pink. Her simple pulled-back hair and those shoes (!!) tied the whole look together for a cute, enviable look.

Beyoncé in Niciolas Jebran, because she is the Queen.

Some people love it, some people elevator hate it. I'm on the love side of Solange Knowles' red carpet look. She is rocking an H&M design over-sized jacket and cigarette pant. Can you believe this suit only cost $150? She ties the whole look together with ankle-strapped Stuart Weitzman Hells and awesome brushed out curls.

Off all the Kardashians, Kendall Jenner definitely stood out above the rest. Her Alon Livne outfit looked perfect with her sleek hair and simple accessories. 

MY LEAST FAVES

I love Ariana Grande. I'm typically a huge supporter of her girly style and I am extremely envious of her hair (WHO IS HER HAIR DRESSER?). I am just not in love with this Moschino number. I don't like the blatant name-dropping and find it a bit edgy/punky for her style.

Ummm... no comment on Amber Rose's outfit selection.

I understand Taylor Swift wanting to make some waves and move away from her typical pretty and safe red carpet style. I commend her for that. However, this looks like she is wearing a cirque-du-soleil leotard. I would love this look more if the bottom was longer and more of a romper-type piece. 

I LOVE that Katy Perry took a jab at Brit Brit and Justin's matching denim red carpet look from the early 2000s. I find it hilarious and love a good flashback every now and again. However, the denim dress and denim suit with corn rows should have been retired when Brit and Justin shook the world and ended their union. No body needs to see that ever again. I need therapy.

At least Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke didn't shake their money makers around stage this time around. I actually thought this was a very successful event and I thoroughly enjoyed Yoncé ending the night with a 20 minute performance of pure fierceness. I give this year's VMAs a solid B (for Beyoncé).

Bathe in Style: A Swimsuit Style Guide

Now that the warm weather is finally here, it is time to head to the beaches and cottages for some fun in the sun. With a never-ending sea of bikinis, monokinis, speedos and surf shorts out there, it can be a daunting task to find the perfect stylish and functional piece. Fear not, as we at fave magazine have done you the favor and hand-picked some fantastic pieces that will look amazing on any body. But first:

For the ladies, there are two essential swimsuit styles that everyone should have in their dresser. First, a fun and  flirty bikini,and secondly, a stylish one-piece. Bonus points if they are reversible!

Bikini

Modern Ego Beach Bunny Bikini - $34.00

This bikini from Modern Ego is the epitome of girly and fun. The mix of floral and nautical prints kicks the look up a couple notches AND it is reversible! Perfect to take on vacation.

Salinas Isabella Bikini -Top, $29.00 & Bottom, $29.00 instyleswimwear.com

To continue with the blue theme, this bikini is classic but with a little bit of a girly touch to it to keep it interesting. The back of this is the kicker with the cheeky bow. Did I mention it is currently on sale?!

Clover Canyon Lotus Temple Bathing Suit, $151.0, clovercanyon.com

For a little bit of color, this preppy and graphic bikini is the perfect candidate. It matches with countless things and would look super cute for lounging on the beach with a floppy hat or for a casual game of beach volleyball.

One-Piece/Monokini

L-Space Sunsetter, $158.00, www.instyleswimwear.com

In my opinion, everyone should own a black monokini. This particular one by L-Space is simply, practical, and a little bit sexy with the deep halter plunge. This look flatters any and every shape and size and the frills add just a bit of a girly touch (but not too much).

Stella McCartney Cutout Printed Swimsuit, $665.00, shopstyle.com

This asymmetrical piece just screams Gwyneth Paltrow. The lines are uber-chic and the mix of patterns is quite fun. This look can work everywhere, on the beach or by the pool and again, with a floppy hat.

Miu Miu Swimsuit, $215.00 Miu Miu NYC

212.334.5156

You can't go wrong with a retro one-piece and this one hits the nail right on the head. The deep V cut paired with the white band accentuate killer curves for a sexy look that's bound to turn heads.

FOR THE MEN

Like the ladies, there are two essential styles that one should have in their dresser. The traditional trunk, for casual and functional wear, and the more European/sporty styles to stand out in the crowd.

Trunks

Loro Piana Swim Trunks, $345.00 www.loropiana.com

The modern board short is short, but not tight. Traditional surf shorts haven't disappeared, they've just been updated a little bit. This washed out blue shade keeps the look casual and versatile.

J. Crew 7" board shorts with anchor print,$48.65, jcrew.com

Very appropriate with the nautical anchor motif and in the perfect length. These would work great with boat shoes and a white tee for off-beach events.

Cadet Vintage Surf Short, $128.00, www.cadetusa.com

I am in love with these trunks. The vintage look is a classic look that will never be out of style. Perfect for hanging ten.

European/Sport Trunks

Orlebar Brown Pup II, $165.00 orlebarbrown.com

If you're feeling daring, and spent the winter in the gym, these shorts are the ones for you. Be prepared to turn heads, though.

American Apparel Swimsuit, $28.00, americanapparel.com

If you are a little bit on the conservative side for the sporty/European look, these trunks are the perfect gateway into this style. The burgundy color pairs well with the cut, making for a classic short that will last season after season.

Sauvage Classic Square Cut - Side Stripe, $42.00, sauvagewear.com

Sauvage is one of my new favorite swimwear designers. They really have the men's classics down, adding a little bit of modern edge. This blue square cut brings us back to the 70s in California and everyone should own a pair!
