Chuck McKay on CKLW Windsor | February 1975
…”I am a radio star…”
If you listen to this closely, you’ll notice that Chuck McKay is returning to CKLW after some time at WLS Chicago (his words). But is this any way to return? He acts like he’s leaving again, and talks about being fired while on the air! This is the classic what not to do in a top 40 format… because the format is trashed 2 minutes into this show!
No jingles are heard on this recording, but that is about right, since the Drake days have been over at the Big 8 for some time now. McKay does some name dropping… Byron McGregor, etc… and thanks mom for convincing him to go back to CKLW.

Yes! big big fan of “the hot ticket!” There is an aircheck on another site that features the performance that got him fired a few hours later. I’m sorry, but this guy cracks me up. It was a pleasant surprise to see him show up on this site. Thanks Steve!
One of the better jocks who graced the airwaves back in the 70’s on “The Big 8″. I think some of the jealous folks who worked on his shift got him canned (phoned the PD). This guy was talented, but you know how it goes in radio, if you’re talented, you get canned, regardless if you’ve got the ratings. (.. as if he cared)
