| Elmo Johnstone | | Program Director; Host of the Drive Home Show | Born in New Zealand, Elmo studied at the New Zealand Radio Training School to gain his Diploma in Commercial Radio Broadcasting.

Before making the move to Canada Elmo was the Program Director of the Nationwide Life FM network, a UCB station in New Zealand.

| Pam Hunt | | Finance Manager | Pam grew up in Durban, South Africa. After studying in Food and Clothing Technology, specializing in Financial Management, Pam initially entered a career in catering and hospitality services. After a number of years the financial aspects of running large catering departments became more challenging and she branched out into the accounting field.

Useless fact: Pam loves animals and brought her pets with her when she came from the UK. | | (613) 966-4822 | | Email Me |

| Melanie Linn | | Midday Host 9am-2pm | Melanie is a native of the Quinte area – a farmer’s daughter born and raised near Stirling. After 20 years as a missionary / counsellor in Eastern Europe, the States and downtown Toronto, Melanie returned to small town living just in time to catch the wave of Christian radio in Quinte with 102.3. “Even though God is ever-present through His Spirit, people who are alone and lonely often believe the lie that no one cares – particularly in the night,” says Melanie. “Radio has the capacity to reach into those lonely places and assure individuals of the love of God and His people.”
Useless fact: Melanie’s greatest claim to fame is her ability to collect eggs faster than anyone she knows (her sister would argue) – “like riding a bike, you never forget!”

| Sean Belfry | | Sales Manager | For all advertising enquiries contact Sean.
Born in Scarborough, Ontario, Sean attended high school in Toronto and then the Photojournalism program at Loyalist College. He worked in retail management for many years with such companies as West 49 and Moores, and was once sports editor for the Journal-Argus in St. Mary’s, Ontario. He blames Elmo and Becci for how he ended up at UCB: “they told me about the opening, and God took care of the rest.” When not at UCB, Sean spends time with his wife Anita, and his 3 children Hayden, Mackenzie and Caleb. As well as being involved in sports, Sean is also Youth Director at New Hope Christian Fellowship in Belleville.
Useless fact: Sean has moved 28 times in his life, with the four-year stay in his current house being the longest yet. He is also a fountain of useless information.

| Annette Eastcott | | The Word for You Today | Annette was born and raised in the Thunder Bay area, where she met and married her husband Dave, and they have 4 children. She has taken some accounting courses at Loyalist College. Before UCB, she was the part time office assistant at Hastings Park Bible Church. She had heard a plea for volunteers on the UCB station and felt God was leading her to call. At the time she was looking for full time employment and thought she could volunteer temporarily until she found something. After a week of volunteering they hired her, it turned out there was an opening in The Word for You Today Department just as she was coming in. The timing was perfect, which shows God is definitely in control. She is grateful that she did not ignore this nudge from Him.
Useless fact: Annette loves chocolate and she likes to polka. | | (613) 966-4822 | | Email Me |
