Inside the Glenn Gould Studio this morning, hundreds of audience members gathered to wish Curran a farewell, reports the CBC. Metro Morning host Matt Galloway along with other staff members shared their fondest memories of Curran’s 40 years on the air.

Curran said he prefers to think of this as a change of direction rather than retirement, according to CBC.
