Happy 15th Birthday!
Happy recent 15th birthday to Canada's first All News Radio station, Toronto powerhouse 680News.
I grew up listening to All-Hits 680 CFTR. One morning in June 1993, the music stopped and the news started. It was a bold experiment, and it's paid of handsomely.
I joined the station a few months later in February 1994, and I've been with the company ever since, although now I'm in Halifax after helping bring the format east in 2005.
I remember the 5th birthday party (I think they gave us calculators) and the 10th (a clock/thermometer/barometer, hanging on the living room wall), and from what I hear, the 15th birthday party was a blast. Wish I could've been there!
CityTV did a birthday story recently ... I'm not sure how long they keep 'em online, but you can check it out:
