Some very sad news from the Forest City. Dick Williams had worked for almost every London radio station and was also involved with CFPL-TV. His final oldies show will be broadcast as a tribute this weekend on AM 980, both Saturday and Sunday.

Broadcast Dialogue has a look at Williams' life in radio, including his time in the U.S., and a podcast he did with them back in 2021. You can read it here.

I always listened to Dick during my teenage years and even won his "Pandemonium" contest once. I had the number dialed exept for the last digit and when I heard the sounder, completed the call and won!!! The prize??? A 45 rpm record (not even a hit) LOL
RIP Dick Williams (the Tall One)

Another article from the London Free Press, about the impact Williams had and the legacy he leaves behind, including comments from other local legends, including Bill Brady and Peter Garland.
