In the summer of 1970, two of my radio geek friends and myself booked tours of CKFH, CHUM and CFRB. I always remember walking up the long, dark staircase to the second floor of 1 Grenville St. to the cramped office and studios of my then favourite radio station, CKFH. We even got to meet Duff Roman! CFRB  and CHUM were located in opulant, spacious palaces compared to FH. Several years later, when I was visiting Buffalo, I toured WGR, WHTT and 97ROCK.. WBEN didn't offer tours.

While I'm sure this would be an interesting tour, today's radio stations are a bunch of computer screens, a board and a few mics. Far more fascinating in the old days were the bigger control boards, the carts and the machines that played them, the reel-to-reels, the turntables and - in some cases - even the records. 

It was a lot less high tech, but there was a lot more for the eye to see. 

Still worth a tour, no doubt, but seeing a jock looking at a screen instead of picking the next spots out of tons of racks or cueing up the next record between songs is just not the same visually. At least not to me.

When Moses moved to Liberty Village and took over 95.3's studios and the YTV space and the renovations were finished, there was a tour offered. The radio part was an immense improvement over what 93.5 was.

93.5 or 95.3?
