ok i'll bite....

i'll also cry shenanigans because any md/pd worth his mouse pad would have figured that out long before you were forced to play it.  and the only reason it would have to be "legal" is if the station was playing other non-cancon music first. 

More to the point, according to my math, the program started thereabouts 11:05pm, and the musical selection did not occur for another one hour and thirteen minutes, making it after midnight....when cancon regs don't matter anyway.

so you're still in non-compliance by playing the make-up cancon after midnite!

To answer your question, no.  the "broadcast day" is 18 hours between 6a and midnite

I remember one morning back in the early summer of '64 when Wally played 'Popsicle' around 8:20am.  He apologised as soon as it was over...called it a mistake and said he'd never play it again.  No can con necessary at THAT point.  I, of course, thought that the song was FUN. 

Wally would later tell me while he and I strolled through Yorkville following some Standard 'excuse' to drink for free late one Saturday afternoon in the mid 90s that the reason for his longevity and success was the fact that he didn't PISS people off.  I remembered the Jan and Dean 'incident' and said nothing.  Bit he sure PISSED *me* off back when I was 12.  Cost him a listener.

I also remember Ray's show.  The Tottenham Hotspur became my favourite 'football' team just based on their NAME.  I'd listen to hear how they did each Saurday with Ray.  My Mom had it on though the afternoon in the kitchen while she made dinner.  Bill Degan used to play some nifty tunettes for "Mom in the kitchen" too during the week.

My Grandpa DEPENDED on "Ontario's authoritative News Voice" for all of his radio news...almost hourly all day every day.  No matter what CHUM did...who they hired...what they tried to give away...how many public appearances they made...how cool tthey tried to portray themselves as being...how great Dick was... ... ...They couldn't dethrone the mighty 1010.

CFRB did that all by themselves.

Friggin' Popsicle.

Sorry to be a stickler but must have been another Jan and Dean song played in 1964 or what you are remembering happened in 1966 as that is when Popsicle was released and when it made the mighty CHUM CHART.

Hot New Hit in May/1966

Yep...You're right about Popsicle.  Fitz...so I was 2 years older.

1010 is not the history Mark.  It's only about CFRB.  1050 ain't the history a little futher down Yonge St...the history was CHUM.  Both expunged.  [by idiots I might add]

But then I still think that AM can be playing music...and getting an audience.  You just have to offer what isn't available elsewhere on AM or FM for the old folks.  MANY of them are analog only.  AM still has about a 20-25 shelf life left.  Quick proof?  AM 740.  [mind you I haven't listened to it for awhile but they promote listening to it in sterio on line for the modern thinking blue-hairs.

Ya ya...I know "zoomers".  We aren't zoomers Moses.  We're boomers.  Ya Dink!!!

Back to my original point: I've shut down "Intervention Toronto" after a lot of thought. 
Lots of comment too... Find my article here...Intervention: It hurts too much to go on.
