A Port Moody resident who ran for a city council seat in last fall's civic election is on the entertainment beat for a Tri-City radio station.
Last Friday, Cathy Cena hosted her first radio show on CKPM-FM 98.7 called Catching up with Cathy.
Her 15-minute segment that showcases events around town will be broadcast on Fridays at 7:20 a.m. and 4:20 p.m.
Cena told The Tri-City News the radio station contacted her via Twitter to see if she'd be willing to take on a gig similar in style to Joy Metcalfe's "Joy's Journal" program on CKNW.
"We going to be doing a lot of name dropping and making it fun," Cena said. "It's about getting out there in the community and seeing what's going on."
(Listeners are invited to contact Cena at cathy@ckpmfm.com for ideas.)
It is Cena's first job as a radio broadcaster. She previously sold advertisements with 93.7 JR-FM.
