AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
For weeks of October 3-10, 2010
Weekly issue #600

Talent: FRANK BRODIE
Station: CKLW Windsor, Ont.
Date: September 17, 1969
Time: 14:09

Mike Marshall was a mainstay of Toronto radio for years after arriving there at CFTR in the early '70s. But he cut his Top 40 teeth at another legendary station - CKLW.

As Frank Brodie, the man we now know as Mike Marshall rocked at 'CK during its glory days of the late '60s and early '70s.

Marshall came to Toronto at 'TR in 1972 and had switched dials to sister station CHFI-FM by the mid-'80s. In 2000, he moved down the QEW to Hamilton, and the afternoon drive spot on CIWV (The Wave). He's now retired.

Rock Radio Scrapbook presents Frank Brodie here.

Station: WCBS-FM New York
Date: October, 1974
Time: 22:20

Many airchecks remind one of a certain time in their lives. But rarely is that recollection as specific as the one we found on this aircheck.

The Norm N. Nite portion of this aircheck is from October 10, 1974, which is the day your webmaster began a 35-year career as an editor at The Canadian Press news agency in Toronto. What's more, the Norm N. Nite portion begins in the exact hour we started at CP, the 8 p.m. hour. What are the chances of that?

Enjoy Dick Heatherton and Norm N. Nite on WCBS-FM here.
