Bob Magee

Bob Magee (born December 13, 1949) is the professional name of Denny O'Neil, a Canadian radio personality. Formerly, he was co-host of the morning show on CING-FM in Toronto. Previously to that, he hosted the afternoon drive time show on Toronto's CHFI-FM from 2003 until 2009. From late 1999 to 2003, he co-hosted CHFI's morning show with Erin Davis.

Magee was born and raised in Vancouver, BC and worked in radio in BC and Toronto for over the years. Magee first joined Toronto's legendary top 40 powerhouse 1050 CHUM briefly in the early 1970s, before heading to Western Canada. He returned to CHUM in 1979, and became the station's morning host when it moved to full-time oldies in 1989. He was fired from that post in 1997.

For CHUM's fortieth anniversary as a top 40 station, Magee produced a documentary that aired on co-owned television station Citytv Toronto.

Magee subsequently joined the adult contemporary outlet CHFI, starting as a substitute host on swing shifts. He permanently replaced Don Daynard as Erin Davis' morning co-host on Magee's fiftieth birthday in 1999.

Magee left 98.1 CHFI in June 2009 when he entered into a brief retirement before surfacing again at Vinyl 95.3 (formerly Country 95.3), in January 2010 to co-host the morning show with Corrie Miller in Hamilton, Ontario.[1] Both MaGee and his co-host Miller were let go from their morning show gig in July 2011.

Magee was formerly married to the high-profile fashion journalist and broadcaster Jeanne Beker (1986–1998). They have two daughters.
