    I doubt it was health related.
    Likely the "demotion". Richards has a healthy ego imo, and losing the featured morning slot was probably a big insult.
    He'll turn up on another station. As suggested, a move to TSN 1150 Hamilton's morning show would be great.

    I'll miss the Bob Cole impressions especially.
    "Oooh baby!"
    Lol!

    A little out of date now I suppose, but he did a bunch of impressions that almost always made me laugh -- Bob O'Billovich, Pinball, Foster Hewitt, Dick Smyth, Robin Leach, David Lee Roth ...
    Mike Richards has said he will be making some kind of announcement tomorrow (I assume on Twitter and/or Facebook) at 5 pm. If anything, he seems to be hinting at it being more independent, so I would guess probably something like his own website, podcast, or YouTube thing, and likely not working for Rogers, Bell, or Corus.

    Edit: Not that you had to be Kreskin to have guessed correctly, but it is indeed his own website, RawMikeRichards.com .

    Paul Masotti mentioned O'Billovich, giving Richards a chance to do the voice.
