Not one, but TWO CHR stations on the AM band in the same city? But this is 1985? Yes, but this is also Canada, where hit music is still heard on AM, and man is this good! AM 1060, believe it or not, still exists with a Classic Country format under the call letters CKMX, but back in the good old days this was a ‘Full Service’ AM top 40 station with all the elements you’d find on an old AM AC but with hit music and shotgun jingles.
This features a full news department, ski reports, weather and traffic. Wow, wouldn’t it be nice to hear a top 40 station like this today?

Glen slingerland is the proper spelling of his name. It was AM106 who de-throwned long-time market leader CKXL.
Duly corrected.
Hi There!
Thanks for the “blast from My radio past”…my
co-workers here at 660 News decided to let me
know I was also on Glen’s aircheck…kinda freaky
to hear myself from sooo long ago…yup, I’d like
to work for this kind of station again!
