Biography
Chris Mills fell in love with radio as young teenager in the '70s, when he often drifted off to sleep with a local AM station playing Top 40, or big band music on Boston's WHDH. As the son of a ham radio operator, he grew up in a household full of radio of all shapes and sizes. After studying journalism in Halifax, Chris worked for CBC Radio as a news reporter and associate producer. In 2003 he began working as a news announcer and fill-in co-host at the former Metro Radio Group (92 CJCH, 780 KIXX, C100, KOOL FM and Q104), and he was the last live voice on CJCH before it flipped to FM and a new format in May, 2008. Now working part-time as an announcer for a new radio station in Halifax, Chris spent 6 months as a fill-in announcer at Seaside FM, enjoying every moment of a truly memorable radio experience. He continues to voice commercials and promos for this wonderful community radio station, 105.9 Seaside FM!
