John Donabie worked up and down the Toronto radio dial, doing just about every format possible in a career spanning more than half a century. But his best gig may have been his last (for now). Donabie talks about getting started at CIUT.
""That
first show was probably my most exciting at
CIUT. As
Ken Stowar
my PD said, “play anything you want and interview anyone you want.” He kept his
word and I was able to cross genres and enjoy what was like being back at
CHUM-FM
in the early 70’s. "I mean who plays Joy of Cooking anymore?” The biggest kick
was having my son hear me for the first time in that way." The whole
CIUT time was
one of the most exciting in my career.
Donabie left CIUT in 2018, departing simply
because after 15 years at CFRB and two more at CIUT, he
understandably wanted weekends off.
Donabie spent considerable time planning his first
show, and the result was radio magic. Enjoy!
