A Sunday afternoon in mid-April 1991, and it was a "Sound of Motown Weekend," with Rob Alexander on "Classic Gold" 66 CFR Calgary.  Patricia Hunter had the news and Angela Knight was "On the Road" with a community events update.

The Calgary Flames were in the NHL playoffs and their home games anthem singer, Susan Smith, had a song to cheer them on.

Jerry (Steen) and Joanne (Johnson), from the Steen Team morning show, were ready to go out "mugging" listeners with 66 CFR coffee mugs.

Sorry about the audio being so out of phase.

In 1986, the Calgary Flames made it to their first Stanley Cup Finals and the Moffat radio stations in the city, Music 96 (95.9 CHFM) and XL Radio (1140 CKXL), produced and aired this playoff song by Marty Cochrane which was sung to the music of the Pointer Sisters' "Jump (For My Love)."

Please excuse the tape break.

Montreal won the series four games to one.

Marty retired from 2&7/Global Calgary, as a floor director, in 2014 and continues to make music as well as paint in Cochrane, Alberta.  Where he has lived since 2008.

Go Flames Go!

A promo for the Kevin Nelson Music 96 (CHFM) Calgary morning show with the tag voiced by CKXL's Jim Jackson.

Kevin had the "Morning Show Microphone" bedside him on a sleepless summer night.

Apologies for the clipped ending.

The late Bob Robertson with a top of the hour ID for Calgary's 1140 CKXL from the fall of 1971 followed by a jingle.  After leaving 960 CFAC Calgary, Bob was CKXL's program director before joining Bob Comfort and Paul Tividar (Mann) at Edmonton's Tinsel & Sham Productions.  He went on to a career in comedy, as one half of Double Exposure.

Thank you, Eric!

Rob Alexander, in AM Stereo, on Calgary's 66 CFR from a Thursday evening in early August 1984.  CFR was using the Kahn AM Stereo system at the time.  It seems Rob was catching up on the station's Canadian Content requirements after the nightly "Dedication Hour" and likely due to the station's "All Request Nooner," earlier in the day.

66 CFR "Steen Team" morning show newscaster Susan Booker reported the "Concern Line."
