Information Morning in the Summer is back this July and August. This is a provincewide summer edition of the show, with Khalil Akhtar and Colleen Kitts-Goguen taking turns at the mic.

Your regular show hosts, Jeanne Armstrong, Jonna Brewer and Julia Wright won't be going far. In fact, you may even see them as they take time to visit communities to meet people and discover stories from across New Brunswick. You'll hear them on the morning show this summer as they share more about the interesting people they meet and the places they go. The three hosts will be back in their chairs after Labour Day.   

Meet your summer guest hosts, Khalil Akhtar and Colleen Kitts-Goguen
