Jim Brady's 1981 move from CFTR to CJCL was big news at the time
(Description and graphic courtesy Dale Johnson)
Jim Brady was CFTR's morning man from 1973 to 1981. Brady in the Morning eventually overtook the legendary Jay Nelson at CHUM.
Brady left CFTR briefly in 1978 for a stint at KOPA Phoenix, returning two months later. His final show at CFTR the second time around was on Wednesday, August 12, 1981.
Brady left for CJCL Metro 1430, the former CKFH, where he was morning man and program director. After a couple of years there, Brady had stints in Calgary and Winnipeg. In 1990, he returned to the Toronto market at country station CFGM in 1990, just before that station CHOG with a Top 40 format. Brady later worked in Los Angeles and Ford Worth, Texas. His career began in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, in 1964, and included a stop at CKLW Windsor/Detroit in 1968. He retired from radio in June 2008 after returning to Toledo at WRQN-FM. Brady died in 2014 at age 67.
