John Donabie CIUT

Didn't mean to scare you, John is still very much with us....although not for long.  At least on the radio.  Canadian Broadcast Hall of Famer John Donabie's FINAL program on CIUT 89.5 is TODAY. It's his FINAL show. No more CIUT from John..nada, zero, zip.  

Great music! Great radio! 2 to 5 PM TODAY.  John's a great and longtime friend of mine and I thought y'all should know.

I'll tell my son of your kind words Kilgore.
And thank you Doug, my good life long friend and publicist.

Re: John Donabie CIUT

It was a good show. The preceding show, 'Out on the Weekend', is excellent.

That's too bad the last of the jocks on the CHUM FM Free form format still on the air on terrestrial radio. I just saw this now and missed the show. I believe we will be able to catch it on the archive.

John reached a milestone last year when he marked 50 years in Toronto radio. His first Toronto gig was at CKFH in 1967 and he's worked at many stations and formats since. If there was a Toronto Radio Hall of Fame, he'd be one of the first inductees.

I can't believe the video at the link below has only had 180-something views. It was made in 2013, when John was inducted into the Canadian Broadcast Industry Hall of Fame. It's a terrific piece and well worth 3:52 of your time if you're a John Donabie fan.

C'mon seriously? How many "inside" radio peeps do you honestly know or care. With respect.
