Since he identifies himself in his first post, I thought it fair to welcome the legendary John Jackson, by name, to the board.
John was the Music Director (and PMD) when I arrived at CJAT Trail on May 1, 1972. Man, did that Man know his music. He helped run a tight little Top 40 station with a playlist that included songs no one else was playing but that listeners were requesting. Who else was playing Neil Sedaka currents in 1972?
I can't think of a Middle Market Top 40 station in B.C. at the time with a sound as good as this one station market station. You'd have to go to the Prairies and CKRD, CJOC, CHEC and CHAB to hear anything as good or better.
Although I drove some other station people nuts, John and I always got along very well.
