Daniel Coloumbe, 900 CKTS Sherbrooke Que | February 9, 1985
Date of Recording: 02.09.1985 Station: 900 CKTS (Defunct) Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada Format: Top 40 Featured Air Personality: Daniel Coulombe (CKTS/CJMQ) Contributor: Bob Gilmore Comments: The station no longer exists, but the Eastern Townships’ main English speaking music station was on AM through the end of the 1980s.

As you’ll hear, CKTS was TIGHT! These guys were quick on their feet and seemingly had a one-liner for every break. This rivals some of the best that American RKO stations like KFRC, KHJ and WRKO had to offer. Little known in the States, after listening to this, one might say that CKTS was Quebec’s best kept secret. Heard...
