Jesse and Gene

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jesse and Gene is the duo name for Jesse Dylan and Gene Valaitis who hosted The Jesse and Gene Show, a prominent morning drive time show in the Toronto, Ontario radio market during the 80's and 90's. The show first aired on Q107 in 1987. In July of 1989, the show was moved to 680 CFTR where it initially served as an afternoon drive time show until June of 1991 when it became the station's new morning show. When CFTR changed its format in June of 1993, Jesse and Gene were let go by the station but was shortly picked up by AM 640 later that year. After AM 640 changed their format in October of 1995, Jesse and Gene were separated only to be reunited in July of 1996 as the returning hosts of Q107's morning show. Less than a year later, Q107 released them, marking the end of their radio careers together.
