Murray "Pollution" info?

Postby jon » Sun May 18, 2008 7:51 pm

I forget how to spell his last name, but it was, yes really, pronounced Pollution. Murray "Pollution" started in Red Deer, I believe. After a few years, he ended up at CKO Edmonton beginning at initial signon, as I recall.

I never heard about him after CKO quit broadcasting locally.

Does anyone have any details of his broadcast background, or know where I might find out more info? For EdmontonBroadcasters.com.

Jon, I keep forgetting that it was almost 30 years ago. It doesn't seem that long.

His last name is Polushin, but I haven't heard of him in years. For some reason, I keep thinking of mid-days when you mention his name.

There are only two possible telephone listings of interest across Canada. There is a Murray with a 403 (Red Deer & South, in Alberta) area code, and no address or even community listed. And an M. in Edmonton.

Thanks for this spelling.
