Jay Nelson was Toronto's
"Pilot of the Airwaves."
Not only was he the morning man at CHUM, he was also a licensed pilot
who often let his listeners know if he was flying that day. The native
of Scranton, Pennsylvania, who came to CHUM from WKBW Buffalo in 1963,
spent 17 years in the morning slot at 1050. He died in 1994, aged 57.
