  1. 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!

  2. 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

  3. Hey I got your site from , my cool friend Donovan Tildsley. Cool site brings back great memories. I love to listen takes me back. I got a film I did in grade 11, I was 17, Woodstock and Easy Rider years. I’ll send you link form my facebook posting. 3 students at Garden City Collegiate, in Winnipeg were asked to present their ideas what students do in Winnipeg in cold January. I wasn’t aloud to show mine.
