We believe our new structure will help further grow audiences across multi-platforms and position our radio brands for the future," RishmaGovani, a spokesperson for Corus Radio, wrote in an email to CBC News.

Lawton completed his show Monday not knowing about Tuesday's restructuring, forcing him tothank his audience on Twitter and Facebook.

"I would have loved to have said goodbye on air, but this will have to do," Lawton wrote in a Facebook post.

"This wasn't the end I'd imagined, but know that I have no regrets about the show's run."
