This week on NOW and NEXT:
By accident or design I stumbled across an old mp3 file. It's a recording of the final episode of Toronto at Noon - a radio show I hosted and co-produced on 1010 AM CFRB in Toronto at - you guessed it - Noon!
That show aired fifteen years ago this week, (as we post this edition of NOW and NEXT). And it reminded me of just how energetic and connected the show, (and the statiion for that matter) was to the community and the audience.
We broadcast the finale from the Keg Steakhouse Mansion at the corner of Jarvis and Wellington Streets. The Mansion was the site of CFRB's very first broadcast studios. RB is Toronto's oldest English-language broadcaster and it all started in February, 1927. The original frequency was 1030 kHZ. It moved to 1010 in 1948 - 2 years after a young fellow named Wally Crouter joined the station.
Our Toronto at Noon audience voted and decided we'd do the final show from the old mansion.
And what a show. What a line-up.
You'll hear "the regulars", including Christie Blatchford, Fred Ketchen, Rose Reisman, Jeff Marek, Rick Hodge and Robert Turner. But we also has special guests and friends to the show - Teri Hart, Blair Packham, and Bob Reid.
And we hear from the crack production team that kep the show on the air and on the road! Jeff Moss, (it was his last day at the station), Eileen Berardini, Paul Gatt and Nick Maiorano.
And all in 46 minutes, during the noon hour of Friday, October 2, 2009. It was RADIO RIGHT WHERE YOU LIVE.
Hope you enjoy it.
