AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
Edition #1408 - July 26, 2026

JIM BRADY
CFTR Toronto (last show, hr. 1)
August 12, 1981 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Don Shuttleworth)

It was big news in 1981 when Jim Brady left mornings at CFTR for a new gig at Toronto rival CJCL.

After all, the wildly popular "Brady in the Morning" show had been on the air at 680 for eight years (with a brief sojourn to KOPA Phoenix im 1978). Brady spent two years at CJCL before moving to stations in Calgary and Winnipeg. His last hurrah in Toronto was at country-formatted CFGM for a few months in 1990. Brady died of cancer in 2014, aged 67.

Enjoy the first hour of Jim Brady's last show on CFTR from August 12, 1981 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of the Week.
