EDMONTON, AB — November 9, 2026 — Terry Evans is back on Edmonton radio. The longtime morning host takes over afternoon drive on Cruz957 on November 16 with The Terry Evans Show, weekdays 3–7 PM: a live, local show built around the three things this city runs on: its teams, its music, and the way Edmonton lives between game days.

His first show lands the morning after the 113th Grey Cup and launches the relaunched Cruz957 Sports That Rock (CKEA-FM), Harvard Media’s station for Edmonton sports fans. Its promise:


Terry Evans: sports, rock and the Edmonton life

Evans spent four-plus decades on Edmonton’s airwaves, building a loyal audience on chemistry, candour and community. The Terry Evans Show blends sports with what he’s known for: personality, community and connection.

Roughly 30% of the show follows Edmonton’s teams and game days. The rest is pure Terry: local stories, local people, the city’s restaurants, patios, concerts and charity causes, and the anthems fans want loud on the way to the game.


The Nielson Show: Edmonton’s sports morning

Mornings belong to The Nielson Show, the flagship of Edmonton Sports Talk, live weekdays 6–9 AM.

When TSN 1260 went dark in June 2023, Dustin Nielson, Lieutenant Eric, Matt Iwanyk and Tom Gazzola built EST from scratch; three years later it employs more people than 1260 did.

Nielson has called CFL on TSN since 2019 and brings a daily lineup of national insiders including Darren Dreger, Chris Johnston, Craig Button, Bruce Boudreau and Jamie McLennan.


3DownNation.com: Canada’s CFL authority, now part of the family

Cruz957 is also the Edmonton radio home for 3DownNation contributors.

Acquired by Harvard Media in November 2025, 3DownNation is Canada’s leading independent CFL publication, reaching about 3 million Canadian users a year.

Led by founder and Editor-in-Chief Justin Dunk with J.C. Abbott and John Hodge, it covers all nine CFL clubs, U Sports and the CFL Draft, including the Elks’ run to first place in the West this season.

Listeners will hear analysis from 3DownNation on The Terry Evans Show every week.

One small editorial note: I preserved the supplied text rather than fact-checking it. The original also contains a potentially confusing date reference: the release is dated November 9, but refers to November 16 and the morning after the Grey Cup. Worth verifying before distribution.
