AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
Edition #1344 - April 27, 2025

JOHN SPRAGGE
CHUM Toronto
February 21, 1962 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Doug Thompson)

It's not rock, it's talk, but it is CHUM.

This rare find from Doug Thompson in the CHUM Archives displays midday jock John Spragge's skills as a talk show host in this segment called Open Line. And there's even a surprise guest - Jose Jimenez - who in actuality was comic Bill Dana. Peter Dickens is also heard with the news in this fascinating look at CHUM in the early '60s.

Enjoy John Spragge and guests on CHUM from February 21, 1962 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of The Week.
