Being able to support up and coming Canadian rock bands. I can't count the number of times a musician I'd meet during a presents at a club or in the booth would tell me about the moment they were all in the van (or station wagon a la Honeymoon Suite in the early 80's) driving into the city in the middle of a very long cross country tour and they'd hear their new single playing on the radio on our station and the thrill they'd feel knowing they were making some headway in the business.

Having Roger and Don from the Royal Canadian Air Farce on my afternoon show to promote an upcoming performance for a live taping of their comedy show. Strangely I had no nerves and we had a lot of fun joking around. It was the thing that finally made my father take notice of my radio career and start to respect me as a professional.

I always appreciated the enthusiasm our listeners had for us on-air folk and their loyalty to the station. I (almost) always loved to meet them in person at events and take their calls on the request line, radio was and is really all about community.

Thanks for the WKRP clip MJ and the good memories prompt too!
