Yes she does.
She resigned live on air.
Her “Alternative Bedtime Hour” was the best.
She’s a wonderful person as well.
I’m also friends with Pete Fowler (does a great show called the Lost Indie City that airs on various stations) and DJ Shannon from the Club “One Oh Two” days.
Jason on 97.7 was awesome..... poached out to Ottawa.
Dean was a douche but was of the time.
Finally got to watch the documentary. Brought some great memories and you get to relive some heartbreak. I was in highschool at the time and there was nothing like it . In North America apparently.
A morning show assistant, some Lebanese guy they nicknamed Chicken Shawarma was a friend of a friend . I’m not sure that would fly now .

CKLN 88.1!
I used tp DJ there and at CIUT and CHRY back in the 90's
And for me, since I'm not as old as some of you, the best part about CFNY was the live to air shows at the clubs, like Martin Streek at the Phoenix, Chris Sheppard at various spots, and Deadley Hedley / Mark Oliver at Klub Maxx. If I wasn't at the clubs I was tape recording them.

If anyone is interested in heavy-duty Toronto-centric nostalgia, I highly recommend the Toronto Mike'd podcast:
Toronto Mike'd Podcast - Toronto Mike
In his almost 2000 episodes, he's done long-form interviews with most of the names mentioned in this thread, or memorial ones about Martin Streek, or retro-media extravaganzas with Ed Conroy from Retrontario. There's plenty of others with people who were around in the '70s, '80s and '90s, (like Melissa Demarco, who you may remember from the interstitials between reruns of Who's the Boss and Family Matters on Channel 47/Cable 4), but also plenty of big names (by Canadian media standards) like Ron MacLean or Dave Hodge or Ann Rohmer.
Mike himself can be a bit of an acquired taste, and I've found him overly name-droppy of late, but he's passionate about the people involved in Canadian media before the likes of BellMedia utterly destroyed it through corporate MBA idiocy (the gutting of CityTV being the most egregious example).

There's a show on JazzFM with Danny Marks. He's been around the T.O. music scene since the Yonge Street and Yorkville days. A good listen.
