WINTER APPROACHETH: OK, I know it’s probably way too early to bring this up. But many of us dread the end of summer. So many of us in the GTA think of the CNE as the end of summer. I know that I do. It occurred to me, though, that as a Read More

I just returned from Florida and a visit with family. My daughter, Lisa, has lived in the U.S. since 1983 and is married to my wonderful son-in-law, Josh. They’ve blessed me with two grandchildren: Noah and Ava. Spending time again with the grand kids reminded me again of how we are Read More

My daughter, Lisa, and her family live in the Orlando area, so I visit as often as I can and continue to call Orlando my second home, having also worked there from 1986 to 2001. I recently returned from my latest visit. It occurred to me that many GTA folks visit the Orlando area and I Read More

I’ve been employed as a morning announcer for a lot of my radio career. I’ve also spent time doing the afternoon shift, which is 3-7 PM, traditionally. Morning radio shifts are usually 5-9 AM or 6-10 AM. I’ve enjoyed doing both shifts, but I’ve found that many “nine-to-five” people don’t quite understand Read More

One of the things I like about AM 740 is that it is staffed locally. The only exceptions are “Back to Live” on weekends, which is a one-hour program from Montreal and “The Real Jimmy Hollywood,” a 3-minute feature each weekday afternoon. But locally-based full-time staffs are becoming increasingly rare in North American radio. It seems Read More

In the sixties and seventies, radio listening choices were much more limited than they are today. It’s not that many more radio stations existed then. There were fewer formats. For one thing, FM radio in the mid-sixties, for example, was relegated to just a few approaches, such as “easy-listening” instrumentals or classical music. And, then, Read More

How straightforward are radio personalities? I think it varies widely. I’m not saying that radio folks are dishonest. I just think that some keep their lives very private and others do not. I think that “The Happy Gang” morning show on AM 740 is pretty open. It wasn’t planned that Read More

By way of introduction, this being my first blog entry, I thought I would provide a little background on myself and how I came to AM 740. I began my radio career just outside of Philadelphia in the late sixties. My first paying radio job was in Allentown, midnight to 6 AM, Monday through Saturday. The Read More
