Dick Williams chose Canada.
"The Tall One" could have spent his career in the more lucrative U.S. market. In fact, he did a stint in mornings at KDEO in San Diego in the early 1960s and also jocked at WING Dayton, Ohio and WSAI Cincinnati in a career that began in 1956 at CKCR Kitchener, Ont. But Williams stayed in London, Ont., after arriving there at CFPL in 1961. He remained on-air in London until 2006, also working in the Forest City at CJBK, Q 97.5 (CIQM) and Oldies 1410 (CKSL).
Williams' clever, fast-paced, humour-driven show
on CFPL could easily have been
a morning show. But it wasn't - it was at night. At that time, evening shows
were prime time in radio and that's where the stars were. And Dick Williams was
certainly a star.
