Radio Junkie Alert: 1050 CHUM

Written Sep. 6, 2007 by Sean Ross in with 0 Comments

As with Canadian radio in general, CHUM-AM Toronto never quite got the attention it deserved from American radio junkies, but during the '70s, it held its own with WLS Chicago, KFRC San Francisco, CKLW Detroit and the best of them. And, of course, it's one of the relatively few heritage calls that lives on today on a successful contemporary music station, the (very) Hot AC CHUM-FM. For some "1050 CHUM" memories from former PD J. Robert Wood, check out this article from Canada's Broadcast Dialogue--you'll need to scroll down to the third article on the page.
