Comings and Goings

Talking about those years, the golden years of radio before television came in, Mickey had this to say:

“When I came to CF C Y the programs were scheduled to what one would think would be to the advantage of the listener. The Program Manager and the programs were the dominant eon- cern. Of late years, we’ve tended to make radio evervwhere sound the same. At that time CF C Y sounded like CFC Y: C JFX over in Antigonish sounded like Antigonish, and the Hali/ax area sounded like the Halifax area. Now it is very difficult to tell ifyou are listening to a station in Chilliwaek. BC. or San José, California—they all sound the same.”
