I can speak to two of those. Jim Brady (real name Jim Felton) was not only incredibly talented, but he was one of the nicest people you could want to meet. He was the morning man at one of the biggest stations in Canada when it was at its peak, but he never showed any ego and always was nice to all the people at CFTR. 

One of my favourite memories is visiting him in the announce booth at 25 Adelaide St. E., telling him a joke and then hearing him use it on air a few minutes later - even crediting me for it! That was a real thrill!

I was also there when "Landecker landed." I really admire his talent and loved him on WLS. But he was not good when he took over the morning slot at 680, and the ratings reflected it. I think I've noted this before, but I remember going in to meet him when he strutted into the station the first time with a large breasted blonde on his arm and asking him if he was going to bring his "Boogie Check" to Toronto, a famous segment where he took listener phone calls. 

He looked at me as if I was an insect and haughtily sneered, "Now why would I want to do that?" and then walked away. I never talked to him again after that exchange, having already gotten the measure of the man. Fortunately his time in Toronto was brief and not a happy one and he quickly blew back into the Windy City, where he remains to this day on WGN-AM. (Although the article from 1983 below shows, it was not an easy return.)

A tale of two morning men at the same station who could not have been more different from each other.
