"The Wonderful World Of Mike McCoy"



AM 600 started off in 1923 from an electrical store in Burnaby, BC. A matter of fact at the corner of Rumble St. & Hume with a power of ten watts. The station has gone through several call signs over the years. CFXC, CJOR,  CHRX-FM (CHRX now, Energy radio 98 Fort St. John BC) & CKBD.

CKBD 600 AM will go silent shortly (Bob Saye is coming up on Air-Checker)  CRTC approved an FM flip in May 2008. New call signs will be CKPK-FM  Adult Album Alternative AT 100.5 FM .  

Mike McCoy began his career in Penticton. Mike was one of the most popular evening jocks on CKLG "Love Lines" ran at 10:00 nightly. McCoy was able to connect with his audience tucking them into bed each night. His run on CKLG was 5 years then a short stint at CJAZ -FM  for 1 year. He was off to afternoon drive at CHRX. I had the privlege of sitting in on a few shifts with Mike McCoy at the old CKLG building on Richards. A real talented jock who's wise cracks were some of the best I have ever heard. From 1993 this is Mike McCoy on CHRX Vancouver.

I wonder ... any relation to Chuck McCoy of the 1050 CHUM famous years (late '60's - 70's) ?

I hope 100.5 on the Mainland doesn't interfere with Q100.3 out of Victoria. Now there's a great rock station.
