One of CHUM's highest profile departures in 1968 was Duff Roman.

The former CKEY jock started at CHUM in 1965 in weekends/swing. He moved to 1-4 p.m. in the fall of 1967 (replacing Dick Hayes), then early in 1968 moved to a short-lived 1-3 p.m. shift.

Roman and fellow CHUM legends John Spragge and Bob McAdorey exited the premises as part of a major reshuffling in the summer of 1968. But it was only a temporary departure for Roman - he would return to 1331 Yonge in 1974 to begin a long career in CHUM management.

Enjoy Duff Roman on CHUM from February 17, 1968 (UNSCOPED) here.
