Roger Ashby & Mike Holland Morning Show on 1050 CHUM | April 26, 1985
From Adam Greenberg in Toronto comes this vintage 1985 CHR ‘check of “HitRadio” 1050 CHUM. The HitRadio monikker was used at a lot of U.S. stations in the 80s, and here’s Canada’s first Top 40 station also using it.
One of the great things about CHUM was the fact that they stayed with CHR for a long time after most American AM stations had moved on to other things. Part of it likely was the fact that Canada’s version of the FCC, the CTRC, really kept the AM band going… for one thing, the government licenses FORMATS to stations, something the free market-minded USA wouldn’t ever go for. Canadian listeners can elaborate further by commenting on this aircheck.
You WILL love this aircheck. Running about 21 minutes, scoped, the Ashby/Holland morning show is unbelievably good, including a talent contest (in the last 4 minutes). The audio quality is quite good also, since this is an original recording.
