AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
Edition #1334 - February 16, 2025

"JUNGLE" JAY HAMILTON
CHED Edmonton
February 16/82 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Charlie Ritenburg)

Energetic and entertaining, "Jungle" Jay Hamilton was a popular presence on Edmonton radio.

It took just four years for Hamilton to reach the big time at CHED, after getting his start at age 17 at CFSL Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Hamilton ruled the evening airwaves in Edmonton for many years, even as AM music radio was beginning a slow fade. He stepped back from radio in 2013 after being afflicted with Huntington's Disease.

Enjoy "Jungle" Jay Hamilton on CHED from February 16, 1982 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of The Week.
