Welcome to a little bit of nostalgia for those of us who were involved with or who listened to a Toronto radio station called CKEY and, in my case, the glory years when we took on CHUM and, later, CFRB trying to be top dog in the hectic market that was Toronto radio.
Through this website I hope to hear from some of the former staff, be it announcers, operators, the news folk and the office gang who helped make the operation at Av/Dav and, later, Number One Yonge, one of Canada's best radio stations ever to hit the airwaves (I can't believe I said 'airwaves').
June 16, 2010 update
I finally got some time to get away from the nurses (as nice as they are) and, hopefully, I'll be fully functional by mid-July. In the meantime, I have alrfeady made some major behind-the-scenes changes to the website, the most important of which is that all sound files have been converted to the MP3 format. This means that they will open on your RealPlayer program (I think everybody has that on their compooter) and you can also download it for your own enjoyment.
Please use the menu on the left of the screen to visit the various comments, memories, sounds and pictures that are continuously being updated as I hear from more and more people almost daily.
This will be a labour of love for me and, with your indulgence, I'll sprinkle some of my own memories throughout the website.
The site itself will get fancier as I add more pages and if you want to contact me just click on 'EMAIL US' on the left menu.
Don't forget to click on the 'BOOKMARK US' feature on the menu so that you can easily check up on the site often.
Enjoy!

Enjoy some memories from 1961 with these billboards that were everywhere on the TTC subway.
