When asked about the transition, Cunningham comments, “I made a number of lifelong friends here [Saginaw], and with that I am very much looking forward to the future back home in Sarnia. I again will have the privilege of working with some great people with the Sting and Blackburn Radio, many of whom I know very well and will be reacquainted with professionally.”
