Way more chemistry on the morning drive with Toth and Westwood. The morning show has zero talent, chemistry or charisma... If it wasn't sports, there wouldn't be any listeners.

Another thing is that Winnipeg media outlets LOVE to recycle "known" names...they're terrified of bringing in unheard of people. That's why you see so many of the Wpg media folks have worked everywhere... I feel like its been the same people on the radio in Winnipeg since I was a kid. Honestly been listening to guys like Wheeler, Philly, Ace Burpee, Tom and Joe, Howard Mandshein, and so many other names since I was a teenager. I wonder if Kelly Parker and Brian Cook are still out there too. Beau, Tom and Frazier. Man.

Shadoe just tries to bring this everyman point of view to hard news and it's pretty hard to listen to because he can be kind of ignorant on details. We don't really have any solid news talk in this city.
May 7, 20178 yr comment_261280 I hope TSN hire Friesen as Lawless replacement and call the show - Hustler and Know-less

Im thinking Penton(or maybe Wiebe) too but Tosh has got that attitude to knock down the smarmy Hustler.

I'm sure people in their 60s listened to Howard as a kid!... that man will die at the mic.... and I think here's the answer to your next question: Kelly Parker - 94.3 (afternoons, I think) Brian Cook - some shitty country station (I guess if it's a country station, shitty is self-explanatory) Beau - 99.9 BOB (morning show with Mark Morris) Tom - I've seen pictures of him floating around social media and he seems to be the only guy to be retired; Frazier - I have so idea if she is still working...

Is Don Percy still around? If so, that would be some serious longevity.
May 11, 20178 yr comment_262384 Brian Cook is a special radio friend to us all. Whatever happened to **** Rivers?

The early 90s sure were different Anyone here remember the runaway hot air balloon prank he pulled?? He claimed he was up in the air doing his show from a hot air balloon, went up too high & got caught up in the jet stream in a runaway balloon. He was pleading for help between songs & commercials. One of the damnedest things I ever heard. Hios listeners were freaking out. Turned out it was a total hoax. However, Percy made more than a few people angry but it was a great joke.
May 12, 20178 yr comment_262396 That rings a bell... my parents were constantly winning stuff on those call in contests of his. They once made me sing the 'Turtles' chocolates jingle into the phone because each of them had already one once that week and so were ineligible to win again. I'd have been embarrassed but I honestly didn't know another person that listened to KY58 Edited May 12, 20178 yr by MOBomberFan Least of all other 7 year olds

May 12, 20178 yr comment_262407 Percy is almost 80 now, started in the industry in 1956 if you can believe it. Time sure flies ...
May 12, 20178 yr Author comment_262409 Percy was doing weekends for awhile on an oldies station in town. He is a legend. Fwiw, I'm also an old school KY58 listener. I was raised on that music....

I was raised on that music.... There's a Don Percy KY58 air check on YouTube from July 14, 1977. It runs for about 8 minutes. The growl is in there.
