On The Record With Cliff Dumas

By Dave Charles

Cliff Dumas is the new owner of the American-based radio group Local First Media with 23 radio stations under his direction.


A bit of a backgrounder.  I met Cliff at 1280 CHAM in Hamilton, where he was developing his on-air talent.  It didn’t take him long to establish his on-air persona and presence.  I knew from the first time we worked together that Cliff Dumas would go on to do many great things in Radio.  We consulted most of the on-air talent for Moffat Radio at the time.

Cliff spent many years in Country Music Radio, getting great ratings and becoming the first Canadian Broadcast to earn CMA and ACM awards in the U.S. and multiple CCMA Awards in Canada.  His keen interests in radio have now transferred to the ownership of Local First Media group in the U.S.

Hwang says she had been pressured to sign an NDA after lodging a sexual-assault complaint in 2019. Now, the organization has reversed its stance on confidentiality agreements.

After mounting controversy, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO) will not take legal action against violinist Esther Hwang.

In a bid to defuse a mounting controversy, the VSO has reversed its stance on confidentiality agreements in cases involving sexual-misconduct. On Jan. 6, the VSO released an open letter to the classical-music community, pledging to never again ask a sexual-misconduct complainant to sign a confidentiality agreement.
