The first many of us had heard of Terry being at CHUM was in his recent autobiography. More detail emerged this morning on Dale Patterson's web site:
On August 8, 1969, a new jock started on CHUM.
Forty-five years later, Roger Ashby is still in the CHUM building.
On that first night Ashby - who had just come over from CKOC Hamilton - was sitting in with Terry David Mulligan on the all-night show. Mulligan left to deal with a family emergency so Ashby went on the air at about 3 a.m., playing "And I Love Her" by the Beatles as his first song. Four-and-a-half decades later he continues as one of Canada's most popular and enduring radio personalities, now in mornings on the FM side at CHUM-FM. Happy 45th anniversary at CHUM, Roger Ashby!
