From
teenage jock to broadcast icon. That was the story of Paul Ski.
Ski got his feet wet in
radio when - as a Grade 10 student in the mid-'60s - he took the
afternoon drive show at CHLO London. From there it was a magic climb
to the top of the CHUM system, and then the pinnacle of Rogers radio
division. After being named to the Canadian Music and Broadcast
Industry Hal of Fame, he retired in 2014, capping a half-century
career in radio.
