RIP Donald Sutherland.
Sutherland was in more than 190 films and TV shows, from MASH to Hunger Games.
His son Kiefer Sutherland: "With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.”

I got a chance to chat with Bruce about the last time he was in Victoria (during the Not So Great Rabbit Cull), what to expect during his show and which comedian would he love to fight- gloves off!

Zoner friends and family.
It is with the biggest broken heart that we tell you we've lost our brother, Dylan Willows.
He put up a hell of a fight against the cancer, after a lifetime of being an amazing radio host, local music crusader, and all around great human being.
We miss him indescribably, and we know you do, too. The Zone, and this city, will never be the same.
Despite his decades on the radio, Dylan was a very private person, and we ask that you continue to respect that privacy with regard to his family.
Any messages can be left here, or sent to [email protected]
Take good care of you. Hug your friends and family. It's all about love.
💗 the whole The Zone @ 91-3 fam

The Zone @ 91-3 is a radio station in Victoria BC. We're a station made for YOU, by real people here in Victoria.
Meet the faces behind those voices:
What would happen if you put a genius and a comedian in the same room for 4 hours everyday? We have no idea, but Dylan & Jason get to the bottom of life’s tough questions; like how often to wash your jeans and if it’s OK to eat hard boiled eggs in front of other people. Despite how it may sound, Dylan & Jason actually do like each other. Kinda like a couple where one person married up – they’re locked in a constant battle to prove it wasn’t them.
Email Dylan Email Jason
8:15 am Dylan vs. the World. Where you can challenge Dylan to a game of Wit & Knowledge, with your host Jason Lamb! Brought to you by Wheaton GM.
Kirsten’s hat closet is overflowing. There’s a graphic design hat, a video hat, a photography, teaching, and social media hat, and— look! There’s a big ol’ radio hat!
Aside from her invaluable help in the geek department with Bud, Kirsten wakes you up on the weekends with her love of music, Star Wars, and anything gold and shiny.
Email Kirsten
How do you accurately describe a guy with a flaming pie tattoo? Pol describes himself as a combination between Han Solo, “Handsome” Dan from Wayne’s World 2, and Hedonismbot from Futurama. We kinda think of Pol like a Chicago-style pizza; covered in cheese, stuffed with awesomeness, and deeper than you think. He’s totally a guy you could pal around with, but make sure you never leave your phone lying around unlocked and unattended or Pol will update your status to some profound thought followed by #PoopPoopPoopBanana.
You never know what Jenny has up her sleeve, *KABLAMMO* What was that? Too late, you missed it. Jenny proves to us that “the West is the Best” as she regales us with tales of life, magic tricks, and awkward stories all while somehow keeping Pol in line.
4:50 Shoutouts! Text your shoutout to Pol & Jenny at 250.475.0913 and they’ll read it out on air!!
B-B-B-BONUS! Get the PJ Party Podcast with Pol & Jenny wherever you get your podcasts! A great way to catch up on the week that was in the Afternoon Zone or just take the hi-jinks with you!

Jade enjoys the finer things in life: bicycles, animals, ska music, and playing Animal Crossing. She wandered into the Zone to host a “My Turn” in 2010, and we liked her so much . . . we kept her!

Quintin is the literal figurative baby of the radio station. But despite being the youngest Zoner, his experience behind the scenes as The Zone Ranger, play-by-playing for hockey games, and running the controls for years before we unveiled his just-past-puberty voice, means that Q is a voice you can trust.
He might still talk about farts and stuff on occasion but, for the most part, trust.

Bryan Capistrano Boitano, our music director is also the Zone’s resident DJ; as in actual DJ with records, needles, and mixing and stuff! Listen as he kicks off your commute home right with the 5 O’Clock Mixtape, a mashup of some of the hottest modern rock songs with some classics, and some surprises.

Some say that when he sleeps, his snores sound like a dial-up modem. Some say the only way to defeat him is ↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, ←, →, ←, →, B, A, Start. All we know is he’s called webmeister Bud! You’ve probably seen him out capturing photos, playing with drones, or compulsively cleaning stray hairs of others’ shirts. What keeps him going faster than a 56/kbps modem in 1999? Sugar. It’s sugar.

Wednesdays at 7:15 am: Bud’s Weekly Geek-Out with Dylan and Jason in The Morning Zone, our resident geek, webmeister Bud, talks about useful (or not useful) websites, cool gadgets, trends and memes, the latest adorable cat videos, and whatever has the internet and tech world all aflutter.

ANY radio station can do a top 20 countdown. It takes a really, erm, special radio station to host a top 21.
Each weekend, Pol Plastino counts down the top 21 tunes of the week.
Saturdays 8:00–10:00 am & 10:00 pm–midnight Sundays from 6:00–8:00 am.

Sundays at 8am & 9pm Ongoing History of New Music with Alan Cross. Each week, the show looks at something from the alt-rock universe, from artist profiles to various thematic explorations. Whatever the episode, you’re definitely going to learn something that you might not find anywhere else. Trust us on this. Brought to you by Strathcona Hotel.
The Promotion Department is more than the free stuff department. Anytime, anywhere you see The Zone out in the world, Promo has dotted all the T’s and crossed all the I’s to make it happen. And the person helming the proverbial Promo ship is Lauren, which means that she’s likely smarter than any one of us, as well as an excellent juggler.

The man, the myth, the bossman. Listen for Bossman Johnny casually walking into Zone control unannounced to ‘check up’ and make sure the DJs aren’t getting into too much trouble. If you want to get on his good side, ask about the Denver Broncos. If you want to hear him talk for hours on end – ask about “vocal dynamics.” He also sings a mean version of our national anthem.
