RICHEST RADIO STAR?
King Webster
Has New Dial
By PAUL CARBRAY
VANCOUVER (CP) ? That shout, in a rich Scots brogue familiar to thousands of Vancouver radio listeners, hits the airwaves at a new radio location next week.
The voice belongs to Jack W e b s t e r , who begins his open-line show Tuesday at
V a n c o u v e r radio station CJOR, lured by one of the richest contracts ever offered a broadcaster in Canada from his former job at New Westminster's CKNW.
Under the new contract, Mr. Webster receives a reported $100,000 annually, one of the highest figures in Canadian radio, although less than that bestowed on some of American radio's super disc jockeys.
An added bonus for masochistic radio listeners is the chance to hear Mr. Webster's pronouncements in the morning, followed by the equally strident Pat Burns, another master of verbal mayhem, without switching a dial.
So worried was CJOR about the lightning that could flash with two such monstrous egos stuffed in the same studio, the station spent thousands outfitting a special studio for Mr. Webster.
Radio station CKNW has countered with a new openline program called The Investigators, and hired Ed Murphy, who had conducted an o p e n - l i ne program at CKWX, as anchor man. With him are Art Finlay, who spent four years as backup man to Mr. W e b s t e r , and Terry Spence of the New Westminster station's news staff.

Unfortunately, the story is continued on pg. 4, which I can't access (for free, anyway). It mentions a CKWX hiring; maybe Terry Moore?
