I knew 7  and correctly guessed two more. # 8 was my only blemish.

This is a great question and I'd have to venture only a guess that it's John Novak. He sems to have been there for ages and if I'm not mistaken, they may have constructed the entire building around him! Now THAT'S a long tenure!

Am I close or am I not, (to quote Frank-Lyn Cooper) In Touch With Today?

I guessed Calgary as well. 

The longest serving employee at CKOC is Chief Engineer Les Horton, who was there in 1924 when the station was founded and was still there nearly a half-century later when he retired in 1973. CKOC's sister station CKLH-FM is named for Les Horton.

Wow, what a great bit of trivia. I have to confess I don't know the name. But like Jack Lowe, an engineer at CKFH/CJCL, he was there forever. Forty-nine years is a very impressive run in any business. In radio, it's almost impossible!

I got 9 out of 10. Missed the Derringer question but I should have known that as I think I read about that not too long ago. My other guess about the Toronto Star station turned out to be correct but I don't think that one required too much deductive reasoning.

Would not have gotten Dale's CKOC question and my answer would also have been Nevin Grant

Here's a two part question.

1. Which three of the following six DJ's worked all three FM rockers in Toronto. CHUM FM, CFNY and Q 107.

2. Which three worked at two of those FM rockers and which stations.

1. Reiner Schwarz
2, Brian Master
3. Jim Bauer
4. John Donabie
5. David Pritchard
6. David Marsden

Reiner Schwartz, Jim Bauer and David Pritchard?
 

Correct Dale and honorable mention goes to Geets as he also worked a all three stations though I believe he only did engineering and traffic at Q 107. ( Pete worked at CHUM FM and CFNY of course).

Lee Eckley worked at all three station but I think he joined CHUM FM as they were headed towards a AC path and well after their free form days unlike the original three I mentioned above.
