Legendary CHUM Program Director (and later General Manager) J. Robert Wood had the above words placed over the door to the 1050 CHUM jock booth at 1331 Yonge Street. When board operators were eliminated in the 1980’s, the sign was moved to above the AM control room door.

Today, that same sign proudly hangs over the CHUM FM control room at the station’s new home on Richmond Street in downtown Toronto.

This montage is a testament to the talented 1050 CHUM DJ’s of the 1960’s and ‘70’s – those inspired, passionate, creative guys who always knew exactly how to intro a song.

They truly were ‘the finest air staff in the world’.
