Tom McGouran is at 94.3 as well. He has a morning show with Kerri Salki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early 90s sure were different I wrote a letter to him when I was in high school asking him to growl for a friend's 18th birthday. He read the letter on-air and all of the teachers at the school heard it as well as a large number of students and relatives of my friend. He did growl for her. My friend wanted to kill me for that. BTW, he purred if the birthday person was under 18 and growled for those over 18. MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) I was a big fan of Tom and Larry (Updike) - can't even remember the radio station they were on (97 I think?). Tom played a big practical joke on Larry where he had some guy come into the studio. For weeks Tom had been setting it up with suspicious packages and some weird guy calling in to the station. Anyway, things went wrong and people were calling the cops and saying there was a hostage situation at the station. I don't think they ever recovered from that.

If you are saying H&L becomes H&P, that's never going to happen. The drive-home show has to be entertaining first and foremost, not just informative. Gotta have some measure of charisma for that. Maybe Penton's got it, maybe he don't. I'd lean more towards Jeff Hamilton. Big fan of the Hammer's work. Course I graduated from the same highschool a couple years after him, so a little biased. Him and Bauming are best up-and-comers on the Bomber beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he was funny to listen to but I bet, at my age, it would not be as entertaining. Ah, Dickens Cider. Good times. I hope they find a good replacement for Lawless but boy am I going to miss his insider information. It was good and consistent. CFL and NHL.

WildPath Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Yes, I believe it was. Actually recently listening to it in podcast form. Seems they only have a few episodes up and their (former) site is hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
