Wally Stambuck 1930-2015

We lost Wally Stambuck to a battle with Cancer. He and Denny Carr were the most successful morning team ever in Saskatchewan. The doctors told Wally he had 6 months to live that was 1993. He was a fighter and a real radio guy through and through. Here's a few memories from back in the day. It's narrated by Denny Carr whom we also lost to Cancer

Sad to read this but clearly he was a fighter. Stambuck and on air partner Denny Carr WERE radio in the vast CFQC radio universe. They had audience numbers in the hundred thousands rage. In 1978 Wally was courted by CBC tv in Saskatoon knowing he would be a major news hour attraction. Strange how even a catch like this never brought the numbers to CBC's local news in Saskatoon. His old tv call letter mate-CFQC still reigns supreme at suppertime.
