This past Tuesday October 7th at 11am, location The White Spot on West Georgia, the infamous Red Robinson’s RPM Luncheon took place.
In the above photo, a mini CKWX reunion also took place with a table dedicated to those who have and in few cases are still working at CKWX AM1130.
Puget Sound Radio thanks Dee Lippingwell for providing the pics,
Supercountry!!?? What about “Shortwave CKFX”? And people like Gene Kern, Barry Clark, Buddy Clyde and Nick Frost? There were many others, of course. All missed.
Nick Frost? Terry, I’m sure you mean Nick Sands. Barry Clark and Buddy Clyde are still around. Sadly Nick and Gene have passed, although Gene was a regular participant in the RPM affairs while he was here.
BTW, Red explains the RPM as ‘Radio Performers Membership.’ Although I’m sure he means it as a semi-salute to Canada’s original music publication RPM, Walt Grealis’ publication that was filled with news of and for the radio industry.
I can still hear the Supercountry jingles CKWX 1130. Thank You!
