I prefer a Nault over a Mark Stephen because at least he seems prepared when conducting interviews and gives the impression that he's invested in his job.
In general, I would rank the 960 on-air talent as follows, with the criteria being who I would miss the most/whose role would be most difficult for the station to fill if they left:
Boomer
Pinder
Steinberg (just behind Pinder as he's more versatile but I think they are both really good at what they aim to do)
Klein
Rhett
Matty Rose
Logan
Nault
Also, I really like some of the regular "guests" which I rank as follows:
Brunt
Friedman
Chris Johnston
Eric Francis (I know he's not really a guest anymore)
Krahn
Tommy Wheeldon Jr.
Duhatschek
Loubardias (Lunch time is often when I listen and I just find his segment repetitive)
Jason Laconfora (he's good but I'm not much of an NFL fan)
Not sure who else I'm missing?

Putting Duhatschek below Eric Francis is a slight against your credibility.
