CKOC 90th Birthday

Postby Buddy B » Sun Apr 29, 2012 7:28 am

Some of us "old fogies" came out of the woodwork yesterday for Oldies 1150's 90th birthday open house. It's amazing that more that 40 years have passed since I worked with that crazy crew, yet we still recognized each other. Nevin Grant, Dave Charles, Doug Farraway, and Bob Bratina (now Mayor of Hamilton) were among the ex-announcers who took to the airwaves to do the "happy birthday" bit. Felt good to be back behind a mic again!

Buddy did you cross paths with John Novak at either (or both) of CKOC and CKXL?

John and I have worked at the same stations 3 times but never at the same time. He was ahead of me at CJLX and behind me at CKXL and CKOC. However, we have crossed paths over the years, and I still listen to him once in a while on Vinyl 95.3, where he holds down the mid-day slot.
