SOWNY » Brantford's CKPC shutting down Friday Aug. 4th/103.9 Pride going, too » August 4, 2023 7:19 am |
Stolen from Phil Gilles Facebook post
[color=var(--secondary-text)] [/color][color=var(--primary-text)]CKPC Radio, which started broadcasting in Brantford in 1933, is closing down. Today is its last day in operation.
I remember when CKPC was a thriving station - an important part of everything that went on in the Brantford area. In the '80s there were seven people working in the newsroom.
Like many small market stations, it had fallen on hard times. Next to no capacity to report on local events and issues. Ad revenues had dried up. It was a shell of it's former self.
One significant event I'll never forget.......
When Canada smuggled the six US diplomats out of Iran In January, 1980 (the 'Canadian Caper' - inaccurately portrayed in the Hollywood movie Argo) - Prime Minister Joe Clark was campaigning in Brantford.
Surrounded by around 20 reporters, Prime Minister Clark announced to the world that Canada had gotten the Americans out of Tehran to safety in the West - and he made the announcement in the lobby of CKPC.
I was standing about twelve feet away from the PM as he made the announcement.
A significant day in Brantford history.
Anyway - RIP to a once-proud local broadcaster.[/color]
