Red Knight and Scott Carpenter

And now, ladies and gentlemen - duelling deejays!

In this corner, Red Knight - CFTR's afternoon drive jock from 1975 to 1978. Knight joined CFTR from CKSL London in May, 1975 following the departure of Duke Roberts. He left for CJBQ Belleville, Ontario, in 1978 with Mike Cooper succeeding him in the air chair. We have an aircheck of Knight from 2:45 to 3:26 p.m. on May 18, 1976.

In the opposite corner, Scott Carpenter - who was at CHUM from 1971 to 1977. In 1976, the "Boogieman" was doing afternoon drive at 1050. He's heard here from 3:26 to 3:42 p.m. on May 18, 1976, picking up where the Knight aircheck ends. And check the "layover" at 1:22 on the scoped version (3:33 on the unscoped version).
