Lorne King - Production CJOC Lethbridge; DJ CJCA Edmonton 1960s.
Checking back in my notes, it says that Lorne was actually a DJ at CJOC, but was also Production Manager for his last few months at the station in 1968, then left for CJCA.
But I remember him from CHQT. A friend brought up his name yesterday, and I thought I understood him to say that Bobby Ng replaced Lorne in Afternoon Drive. Admittedly, that did not have to be the day that Bobby arrived from CJVB Vancouver in 1977.
A little Googling and I'm even more confused. Check out this mini-bio (with picture and aircheck!) at http://www.offshoreradio.co.uk/djsk.htm:
Lorne King Born on 1st February 1943 in Vegreville, Alberta, in Canada, his first radio experience was gained on CKSA, Lloydminster, Alberta. He also worked for its television sister station CKSA-TV and at live shows around the area. After a stint at CKRD in Red Deer, also in Alberta, and on CKRD-TV, Lorne set off on his travels to Europe and North Africa. He arrived in the UK at the end of 1966 and, on 7th February 1967, joined Radio London. He presented his first show the next evening, sitting in for Mark Roman. Lorne only stayed with Radio London for four months, returning to Canada at the end of May 1967. In October 2000 Ben Healy kindly got in touch to bring us up to date: “Up until recently Lorne worked on CJCA in Edmonton and has enjoyed a successful career on radio in the city for the past 30 years. He has now moved back to where he was born, Vegreville, which is about an hour's drive from Edmonton and is enjoying his retirement.” In July 2004 Lorne attended the First North American Pirate Radio Reunion in Vancouver, Canada.
Start and end dates at each station, and anything else would be really helpful from anyone with any more information. My friend also mentioned that Lorne King was just an air name, so I also wondered if anyone remembers Lorne's real name.
