After leaving his first tour of duty at CHUM in mid-1971, Tom Rivers headed to another legendary station - the Big 8, CKLW.

Rivers' stay at 'CK was brief - he returned to CHUM the next year (after a stop at WIBG Philadelphia) before beginning a cross-continent radio journey in the mid-'70s that would take him to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Anchorage, Edmonton and back to CHUM in 1981 to succeed Jay Nelson on the morning show.
