Best ‘check in this series, by far! Raccoon has found a happy medium between his frenetic high-energy screaming delivery and straight-ahead personality radio. Great phones!
I don’t remember a time when CKRC wasn’t AM Country. So crazy…
Winnipeg has always been an awesome radio town. Those long and extremely cold winters helped craft some of Canada’s best talent .
During the mid 70’s, there was a great top 40 battle going on between CFRW and CKRC. CFRW had that perfectly tight CHUM sound (Drake) – where CKRC was re-imaging itself from the “Guys and Gals” days with a fun, loose, heavy promotion approach. (Q Format).
Racoooon Carney stole the show at night with his great energy and quickly helped discard the early RC era. With #1 ratings, Rac worked hard at perfecting his act and went on to score huge in Vancouver on both CFUN and CKLG
