I thought The Star sold and burnt all of the furniture when they vacated 1 Yonge?  

well, it sure is a nice day for sailing...   

aye aye Captain!

Apologies for resurrecting an older thread, 

but out of nothing more than morbid curiosity, what has happened with 105.9 The Region?  Did they go off the air?  I don't frequent the area, so I honestly don't know.  Their website is still up, and the stream is playing...

Say what?   Sorry, I don't follow this...   The host gives notice to Bell while working halfway across the country in Edmonton...  and was VT'ing  a show from there for St. Catharines....

Well, when Glen Abbey became the "permanent" home of the Canadian Open in 1977 the tournament was held in the later part of June. Then it started to move around slightly...   by the mid 90s, the Canadian Open was typically held in mid September.  This iirc was due to the Can Open no longer being a major event of the PGA Tour.   



 

In the late 70s to early 80s Molly McCoy was the Managing Editor and Co-anchor with Rich Kellman on WGR 2 Buffalo (w/ Ed Kilgore on Sports and Barry Lillis weather).

Always thought Gene’s microphone was really cool.

It was.

The microphone was the Sony ECM-51 model. It is very similar in performance to the model ECM-50 lavalier mic.

This microphone was a go to model at both CBS Television City and at ABC Television Center (West). They were used on many of the Goodson * Todman game shows produced at both facilities... TPIR, Match Game, Family Feud...

TPIR used seven of the ECM-51 for the show, Barker's mic, four for the contestant row podiums, and two at the final showcase podium positions.


 

You're getting warmer Doc...

* Walter Sendzik, not Sendzic...

Sendzik was the former Mayor of St. Catharines

CKPC FM was running a promo in the later part of last week announcing changes happening Monday (this morning).   So now they have started to happen...

If I'm correct, I think John Biggs was also the Operations Manager or Director in addition to being the now former morning show host / co-host...  of course, I could be mistaken...

 

Where is J.P. Ricciardi ?    never mind...
