On the Air

The Golden Age of Manitoba Radio

Garry Moir,

About this book

" Veteran broadcaster Garry Moir, familiar to older listeners of CBC, private radio stations in Manitoba and graduates from Red River Community College, manages to touch on the magic — the strong connection between listener and host, the business, the politics, the characters and a range of anecdotes and historical firsts — to satisfy a wide range of readers with this colourful history." — Winnipeg Free PressBefore the internet, before TV, Manitoba was a hotbed for innovation in radio. These innovations range from the first publically-owned radio station to the first play-by-play broadcast of women's hockey. During World War II, a Winnipeg broadcaster was as well-known in England as Churchill. And Neil Young's very first recording was done at a local station. These are but a few of the stories of early radio in Manitoba. In its first half century, the medium was a powerful, revolutionary force that touched and linked virtually everyone in the province.
