Coming up in two weeks May 27th it will be 65 years that 1050 chum became the first station in Canada to adopt a rock and roll format.  But CHUM wasn't the first to play rock and roll in Canada, that honour usually goes to CJOR in Vancouver.   DJ Red Robinson, who was 16, regularly was playing rock and roll and many black artists in 1954.  Red's first song ever on the radio was Marie by the Four Tunes.

at chumtribute.com, we never forget that Red was first.  Red is a Canadian broadcast legend and I'm proud to be his friend.
