By the way, I'm told that the famous ad slogan for the Pine Tree Ford Lincoln dealership in Woodbridge was originally thought up by a very young Rick Moranis. Who knew?

I loved CFNY back in those days.
I was blown away when I got to Toronto that a commercial radio station was playing music that my UBC radio stations played. and Pete and Geets were  classic radio jocks.
I don't think the current gen z-ers know what radio could really be like.
 

Back when I was growing up, you could always find out what the dj's looked like at your favourite top 40 station by picking up the station's weekly music survey at a record store. MOR stations like CFRB were more challenging. Unless the radio personalities appeared in a newspaper ad, you had no idea what they looked like. After seeing an ad featuring Wally Crouter and Bill Stephenson for the first time, my immediate reaction was Gee, they don't look like they sound. Of course now, you can just go the station website to see what the onair staff look like.
