I was at CFRW/Q FM ( PD ) from 1975 to 1979. We had a great staff on and off air!! The market was incredibly competitive but so respectful at the same time. I hope this is a huge success. I hope the word spreads quickly.

Mike also went on to be my VP/GM. Mike is still the VP/GM of the stations. Peter Morena was promoted to Operations Manager and did a great job. Along with creative, production, sales and on air talent we had a great team. Even during the pandemic everyone continued to come into the station even though there was the option of working from home. Now that's commitment.

While it took some time, we also found a great Sales/Marketing Manager in Micheal Haberer. He was way ahead of his time on the impact of digital marketing. Our revenue growth was specular year over year for many years, including during the pandemic.

Hi - slight correction. We purchased the station in 2004 and later, following market research we moved to a rock based format, then later to Classic Rock.

When I started at CHUM on the all night show I was surprised one evening when my regular operator was not in the studio. It was indeed Jimmy Waters. He was learning the business from the ground up so he operated my show for the rest of the week. Even then he was incredibly humble and considerate.....even to the lowly all night jock.

Ilga worked as the Head Copywriter at CHAM in the early 70's. She hired me as a part-time writer when I was in university. She was also a natural at upselling the clients if she came up with a solid campaign. Talk about a win/win.

When I started working for CHUM (all night show) I would spend my spare time just listening to Tom Rivers and Scott Carpenter. Both were electric on the air. When Bob Wood had an air check session it would include all jocks and he'd play some of the highlights of these two guys along with Terry Steele. As the rookie in the room I was in awe of these incredibly talented people. I heard Scott Carpenter doing an oldies show a couple of years ago and he still sounds great.
