Goodbye Much Music

The time has come for me to leave Much Music, There is so much going through my head right now but I wanted to write you a letter…



About 5 years ago I went to a mall and tried out for the VJ Search. I had no idea what I was in for. I have had the most amazing journey since that day. I won a reality show thanks to your votes and support. I’ve travelled around the world and interviewed some of the industries biggest stars. I hung out with Justin Bieber, went to P. Diddy’s house, got hit on by a Spice Girl, and ran naked down a beach with Jacob Hoggard. But the best part of the job has been meeting everyone who has come up and said hello to me. I’m going to miss seeing the tours every day at Much, I’m going to miss the audience ever day, and I’m going to miss bumping into everyone on Queen street. There are ups and downs to ever job, and you have good days and bad days…you were the ones that made it all worth while. You would pick me up when I was feeling low and I can never thank you enough. I am excited to be moving on but I’m also sad. Its hard when you spent so much time here and have made so many friends. It feels like high school is over again, everyone I have known and hung out with, worked with, and have seen around the halls for the past 5 years, I won’t be seeing as much anymore. I’m not saying goodbye to you, I just want you to know how much you have meant to me over the years. Some of my supporters now have kids and homes and jobs, and some of my supporters are in junior high. And you have all helped me evolve into who I am today. I’ll never forget my time at Much but I hope to see you all again. I will keep you posted on what I’m doing and whats next. But for now I want to invite everyone that can come down to Much, to do just that. We will be filming my last shift tomorrow at 2pm. So come on down tomorrow and lets have one last video flow together. See you then

  2. I have never been more depressed in my life... I'll miss you sooo much Tim! I'll miss doing webcam with you on MOD, you laughing at me cause of how big of a Jonas freak I am and how I tried to poison my teacher. I'll miss hanging out with you after the show and just talking with you about Music and everything else. Thanks again for doing that interview with me (I got 97% on it by the way) it meant a lot to me that you would take time out of your day to do that. So thank you for everything you've done over the past 5 years and thank you for the advice you gave me to be a better interviewer, you're the reason I want to be a VJ... and if for some miracle I do get chosen... I'll try and make you proud =]

  5. TIM!!! this makes me so sad. i've only been to much once and you weren't there, but you've always been my favourite vj. i've never heard anyone say one bad thing about you as a person which is incredible and really speaks volumes about your character. i genuinely wish you nothing but the best moving forward and i hope you'll be on my tv again very very soon. i'm so bummed i can't come down to send you off tomorrow but i know you'll have a ton of well-wishers. so may god be with you as you go :) i'm gonna miss you so much!!! can't believe we're losing 2 VJs in the same week!
    -p.s. go shirtless one last time for us? ;)

  7. Mr. Deegan, me and my fellow friends wanted to say thank you for your time down at MuchMusic.

    Times have changed for you and so does me. It's time to move on and face the real world.

    Once again (and in homage to that infamous catchphrase by former anchorman of Global National, Kevin Newman), Thanks for sharing your time with us.

  10. How sad. :( I went to Semi Formal at O'Neil with Mike many moons ago. I also knew Sarah. It was cool to see someone I kinda knew, go as far as you did. Hope wherever you end up next will be rewarding. I wish you luck in the future :). Sincerely Siska Fox
