Mike Filey
As I do every Sunday at 12:30PM, I listen to Mike Filey's Program "Our Toronto". This week, at the end of the show that after 15 years, this would be the last broadcast. Does anyone know if this was a management decision or has Mike decided it was time to move on. Personally, I think the former. Just the sound of his voice, I could tell Mike really enjoyed doing the show. There was plenty of enthusiasm there. I have always had an interest in Toronto's past. At least I still have Mike's "The Way We Were" column in the Sunday Sun and the "Lost Toronto" website to look at.

Are you an unwavering AM 740 listener? M. Filey's perspectives on the past were excellent but unless one had a watch and a radio receiver close by, it is a chore to zoom around all AM 740's health & travel "programs", no?
Someone once said nostalgia ain't what it used to be; might have been Norm E. or Gene S.

I always had a wonderful time with Mike as a guest on NewsTalk1010!
He is the encyclopaedia of Toronto history...

Re: Mike Filey
SOWNY contributors disagree in another thread on the demographics of AM 740's target listenership. Could Filey be toast because no listeners are left who care that the Yonge subway opened this week in 1954?

Re: Mike Filey
I enjoy his book series
Sunday Star is running a nostalgia page in its Insight section. More text & photos than Filey's nostalgia column in (what's left of) the Sun paper
