An update on the progress of the CFNY Spirit of Radio documentary

Alan Cross, who was there, is still part of 102.1. He updates the progress on the making of a documentary on the Spirit of Radio and its legacy, and outlines the very impressive list of people they've already talked to for the film. And he needs your help tracking down a key missing person.

Re: An update on the progress of the CFNY Spirit of Radio documentary

I don't see Ron Bruchel's name listed. Ron did 10 pm to 2 am  when I was doing the same on CKMW and we had a good number of conversations . I was moved to mornings and lost touch with him. A google search does not come up with any info. I hope he is alive and well. He was a great guy and I wish I had made more effort to keep in touch.

I have Alan Cross visiting me Wednesday morning, along with the Ongoing History of New Music technical producer Rob Johnston. They'll be my guests on Toronto Mike'd as we commemorate 30 years of that program.

If anyone any questions for Alan, about the CFNY doc or the Ongoing History of New Music, let me know and I'll ask on your behalf.

My email is mike@torontomike.com.

I worked with Ron Bruchal in the summer of 1995 at CKLH (K-Lite) in Hamilton.  David Jones hired me after Lance Koyata (sp?) passed away suddenly.  That was the last I knew of Ron.  He worked Saturday and Sunday mornings 6am to Noon, and I worked Noon to 6pm.


Cheers,
Jody Thornton

Thanks Jody, I am surprised there is nothing that comes up on google for his name. I know he was at Q107 in the early days, I remember him telling me that.
