Today, Chris Reid and I sat down with Don Percy to swap stories and catch up on things since we last met for lunch before the pandemic.
He didn’t disappoint.
Below are links to more classic stories from the Master of the Morning, some funny and some rather serious. We hear about the IPLW lady, Manny Buzunis, radio DJs, and the Morning Mayor of Peterborough.
Don wanted me to tell you all that he greatly appreciates all your kind words, and he is sincerely touched by everyone who comments on memories of his on-air shows in Winnipeg. He loves you all.

OMG…Don Percy, Manny Buzunis and the sports guy Barry…THE best morning show in Canada…ever! My husband’s been a radio GM across the country…and that’s his opinion too. Love ya’ Don!
I worked with Don Percy at CKPR in Thunder Bay after I graduated from Confederation College. Don was my broadcasting instructor at the college and then he got me a job at the radio station where he was doing the morning show. Don became my mentor. He taught me so much about the radio business. And about comedy. Today, I am a very successful playwright. Of comedies!
