Elle Volanis
Elle is the host of 93.7 K Country’s afternoon show; The Roadeo, and the VP of Syndicated programming for Torres Media. She has been with the company for 15 years. Elle spent the majority of her broadcast career on-air as a traffic reporter for many stations including Zoomer Radio, AM740, 93.1 Fresh Radio, Pure Country 106, Bounce 104.1 and Flow 98.7. She has worked in TV at CP24 but her heart always remained in radio – and with the team she calls family. When K Country 93.7 launched, she knew it was exactly where she wanted to be. Elle has a love for local radio, country music, and community, and is no stranger to Georgina. Growing up near lake Simcoe at Duclos Point, she often credits her long locks to the waters. Aside from her love for radio she has a huge heart for animals including her own rescue dog named Peep. Husband Chris, Peep and Elle are always on an adventure when work is off the table.

When she’s not on air you can find her at a concert or at a beach.
One of her favourite quotes: “Dreams don’t work unless you do”

Samantha Casais
Samantha was always told she was too talkative in class growing up – so she did what all others in the same boat do – she pursued radio broadcasting (instead of staying quiet). She now talks for a living and somehow still talks her husband’s ear off at the end of the day.
She has been providing traffic reports across Canada for over 12 years. When she is not providing traffic she is on the back end assisting with programing, writing/voicing commercials and pursuing sales. Her love for the industry is undeniable. When she is not working you can find her on the lake or out in nature with her favourite people – her children.
