CKNW host Lynda Steele / Submitted One of the most prominent voices in Vancouver radio will soon be off the air. Award-winning broadcaster Lynda Steele is leaving CKNW radio at the end of the month. The longtime journalist is the host of The Lynda Steele Show, the station’s flagship afternoon talk show, which runs from 3 to 6 pm weekdays. The announcement was formally made on the airwaves during her show Wednesday. Steele is taking time off to spend with her ailing father, who lives in long term care and suffers from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. “Believe me it was an agonizing decision. But my career can wait and my family can not,” she says.
