The changes to CBC Radio continue. CBC will remove Sound Advice from the schedule and replace it with a second hour of Inside the Music, starting April 5.

As part of that change, Sound Advice host Rick Phillips will be leaving the CBC, after 30 years with us. His last day will be March 29.

Rick Phillips began his career as a freelance music program producer at CBC Montreal in the late 1970s. That first gig led to subsequent assignments in Edmonton, Calgary and finally Toronto with such programs as RSVP, A Little Night Music, Stereo Morning and Arts National. As the area executive producer in Toronto, Phillips was intimately involved in the planning and design of the Canadian Broadcasting Centre, including Glenn Gould Studio. Since 1994, he has been the host and producer of the popular Sound Advice.

Phillips plans to become more involved in teaching, writing, webcasts and hosting tours in the growing field of adult and continuing education.
