Al Boliska with Fabian, 1959. (The CHUM Archives)
Al Boliska is remembered as CHUM's zany 6-9 a.m. host from 1957 to 1963. Almost forgotten is the noon-1 p.m. lunchtime show he did during that period.
Boliska didn't like his noontime gig and played it pretty straight - no funny stuff (maybe he didn't want to use up his good material!) Ironically, this aircheck of Boliska not doing the comedy stuff he was famous for is the only aircheck of him that has surfaced. Still, it's always great to hear how CHUM sounded in the early days, and the commercials and musical selections make it a real period piece.
Enjoy Al Boliska on CHUM here.
