DOC HARRIS (1948-2024)
Legendary jock Doc Harris has died at age 76. Harris - whose
birth name was Gilbert Auchenleck - got his start in
broadcasting in 1966 at CKDA and CFMS-FM in Victoria. He
was heard on CFTR Toronto as Doc Holliday during that station's
early days as a rock station in the '70s. Harris later moved to the west coast where his stops
included CKLG, CFMI-FM, CFUN, CKNW and CISL
Vancouver.

DICK BIONDI
WCFL Chicago
October 3, 1967 (UNSCOPED)
(Contributor: Don
Shuttleworth)
Dick
Biondi proved you can go home again.
Four
years after leaving WLS Chicago for a stint at KRLA Los Angeles,
Biondi returned to the Windy City. This time, he was at WLS rival WCFL
and doing the all-night show. We kid you not! Why the "Wild I-Trailian"
was relegated to such an obscure shift is anybody's guess, but he's
just as energetic as ever on this, his first-ever show on 'CFL.
Enjoy Dick Biondi on WCFL from October 3, 1967 (UNSCOPED) ... in the
Aircheck of The
Week.
