Not sure if his time in Vancouver was Radio or Television. Anyone remember Tim?

Before '84? Not that I recall.

The station was on the air for about 12 years. If that's short-lived, what does that make CHRX?

Would that have been the first time CKO Vancouver was short-lived... or the second?

I don't recognise Tim's name from that first go-around.
