Sad news last week, at least for me, with the report that loooong time AM (and later as FM darling "CFOX") radio powerhouse CKLG 73 is no more.
Just another example of a legacy 'traditional' media channel going silent in the digital age as a result of a business model that no longer works. Anyone from the west coast who grew up here from the 60's - early 2000's was highly likely to have been glued to their radios as a teen listening to one of LG or CFUN (or CKNW if talk radio was your thing).
'LG at one time was home to a who's who of legendary west coast DJ's including Terry David Mulligan, Doc Harris, Roy Hennessy, Dean Hill, Graham Hatch and many others.
TDM was a good pal of my dad's and I know Doc and Graham quite well. One of my fav radio biz people of that era was Victoria's own Tom Jeffries who DJ'ed pretty well on any big time AM station from here to Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax and back to BC; Tom got his start locally at CJVI but really made his name at CFUN and later CKNW. Graham and Tom are veritable encyclopedia's of BC radio history. Super guys.
