“I am honoured to be hosting OTTAWA NOW on NEWSTALK 580 CFRA,” said Kristy Cameron. “The show provides listeners with a perfect blend of the biggest news of the day with a major focus on local stories that matter most to Ottawa residents.”

“In just a few short years, Kristy has become a standout member of NEWSTALK 580 CFRA team, as well as the ultimate team player,” said Peter Angione, Director of News and Information Programming at Bell Media Ottawa. “Kristy is a dynamic talk show host, and I am looking forward to hearing her break important stories for our listeners.”
