From the time the Beatles era dawned to the twilight of the disco years, Roy Hennessy was one of the top personalities at the legendary CKLG.

Hennessy started at CKLG in 1964 after a few years at CKOK Penticton, B.C., and CHQM Vancouver. When he arrived at CKLG, Beatlemania was in full flight - what better time for a deejay to make his mark. And Hennessy did so, entertaining for 15 years at 730 AM, first as a nighttime jock and then as a popular morning man.

In 1979, he signed off CKLG-FM - which in 1968 had become Canada's first full-time FM rock station. The call letters became CFOX.

In the 1980s, Hennessy moved on to the major markets of Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. He became president/director of marketing/PR with Hennessy Bray Communications, an advertising company specializing in electronic and alternative media. In 2008, he became president/GM of Shore Media Group (CHHR-FM) in Vancouver.
