Some of the call in shows on 66 CFR were good. Jock Wilson was really good back in the day and the guy before him? was even better. This was before Sofa and Bedroom Depot, Paradise, Lazy Boy etc. etc. Anybody remember any of the commercials from way back when? I sure don't? You could actually listen for hours on end on your transistor radio as your parents thought you were sleeping. There weren't many options as you had sports @ 11, sports desk @ 4:30pm on TSN and then 66 CFR for great Flames talk. XL and then AM106 were also very listenable and they got me started on my Columbia House tape collection in 1984 that included Madonna, Wham, Van Halen, Ozzy, Durran Durran, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie, Boy George, Tina Turner, Cindi Lauper, and Prince. Still have many of the worn down tapes. Commercials killed the radio stars...so we became our own DJ's...
