I just heard that CFMI has Rock 101 has cut Lights Out and producer Owen Coppin.
This was probably one of the longest running shows on Vancouver radio. Back in 1980 or 1981 when John Oliver and myself started Lights Out on Sunday nights on CFMI, it was an easy way to rack up a couple of hours of Spoken Word programming each week (part of the license commitment in those days). We'd go down to Jack Cullen's studio in the Parkcrest Shopping Centre in Burnaby every couple of weeks and grab a bunch of Jack's old 1/4 track reel to reel tapes and dub them to full track for use on CFMI. Over the years we built up a decent sized library that was also used in later years on the WIN radio network.
Long after John and myself left, Owen took over producing and operating the two hour Sunday night slot when the station was still in New Westminster at McBride Plaza. He added tons of shows to the library from his own collection and from stuff he bought.
Sorry to see the show end along with Owen's job at CFMI.
The Rock 101 website still offers the shows as podcasts (from the CKNW Network Replay collection).
