After graduating from Canadore College in North Bay, the doors at CKSO swung open and he became a television reporter for nearly a year but found he preferred radio.  In an interview with Northern Life -  Greater Sudbury on the Web, John said turning to radio was the right thing.  He said, "I was lucky enough to work 25 years in a business I loved with a passion".  Kennedy did radio news and then eventually became a show host. Kennedy retired from Newcap Radio's Z103 in Sudbury just after the end of 2005.  Fond of his hometown John has volunteered with several non-profit organizations helping to make the city a better place to live and work. Kennedy's style was personable and friendly, while he tried to keep pace on current news, sports and entertainment enabling him to have and offer a point of view.
