A Nice Move On CFRB's "The Rush"

I know not everyone here likes Mark Towhey, but the substitute "Rush" host had a few nice segments on his final Friday show, by bringing on some of the behind the scenes folks who make the program run, including the producer and the board op/technical producer.

These people work hard but rarely get any credit and as someone who used to do those kind of jobs, it's rare to hear them on air. 

A classy way to end his time as host and a neat thrill for the voices you normally never hear.

Re: A Nice Move On CFRB's "The Rush"

One of his last "behind the scene" guests on Friday was the founder of this incarnation of the SOWNY Board and your former admin, the great Iain Grant.

He revealed a few things I didn't know about him, including the fact he was born and raised for the first few years of his life in Scotland - and that he grew up in virtually the same place and the same time as Bill Carroll, but they never met until both worked at CFRB!

Pretty amazing coincidence.
