I always enjoyed McCoy's irreverent sense of humour; where is he now? And how about Leah Taleen? I think she did PM drive at one point on CISL in the late '80s, and also worked at CFUN for a short time. I'm thinking the station voice here could be Steve Harringer.
Donovan wrote:As well as imaging, Steve Harringer also did weekends for a time at CHRX. If memory serves, Leah was there from about august '93 until late Oct. '94, when Elaine Scollan came over from CISL/Z. Prior to this, traffic was handled by Janie Farris, who took over from Delan Reid.
Donovan wrote: The thing that puzzled me about those final 18 months was why CHRX blew out many of their jocks, and then all of a sudden decided they needed more of a live presents. I was very young at the time, but recollect that some of the changes were a consequence of the station losing money.
Donovan wrote: It would be a treat to hear some Hamilton and Lamont circa 1992. A colourful morning show way ahead of its time.
BossRadio wrote:U are correct. Steve Herringer was and still is the image guy for at least two of Pattison's country stick including the Mothership on W.Eigth Ave. and Ken Norman's plant in Grande Prairie.
Anyone know if jock Janie Farris and production guy Neil Foisey were still onboard?

It was just after we'd done our second annual Classic Rockstock (lame name) at the Plaza of Nations. Thanks for all your hard work, here's a pink slip to remember us by.
And I still don't believe Lamont's arrest was real. But, oh, did the boys keep me waiting forever to do the produced bits they'd run the following morning.
