Biography of Joanne Wilder

Radio deejay Joanne Wilder will always be a rebel. She once barricaded the door while on-air, so that her boss could not stop her from playing Led Zeppelin tunes for an undisturbed hour to honor the anniversary of the death of John Bonham, Zepp’s late drummer. Wilder, in playful defiance, declared to her loyal listeners “I may or may not have a job tomorrow!” Known to her very large male fan base as that “cool rock chick”, Wilder has been keeping us, Torontonians, laughing and rocking out at our desks Monday to Friday with her show Wilder At Work on Classic Rock Q107 for 15 years. West coasters get a taste of our darling deejay from 7 to midnight, as she also hosts the evening show at Classica Rock 101 in Vancouver (pre-recorded). Here’s The Skiny on the lady who defies the one-hit wonder Video Killed The Radio Star.
