Marc Denis, CJFM Montreal, 1994 (0:13:36)

The Marc Denis Collection
… oooh, a rock ‘n’ roll hernia right before your very ears …
[Description by Contributor Marc Denis]

PD Jeff Vidler at CJFM (now Mix 96) gave me the nod to take over the Sunday morning Gold show from the departing George Morris (‘Buddy Gee’, CKGM circa mid-Sixties.) They renamed it Marc Denis Reeling in the Years for the occasion. This classic Sunday morning Oldies show had been a fixture on CJFM since the mid-Seventies when I got the call to host in the early Nineties (Previous hosts: Dave Boxer, Dean Hagopian, George Morris — and what awesome company to be included in!)

Got the interviews going here as well. On this show, insight from Chicago’s Robert Lamm. ‘English with French sub-titles’ on this cut, with kudos to producer Steve Manitt (yes — the one and only producer the show ever had!!) Plusieurs invités de ‘Marc’ sur cette plage: le légendaire Michel Pagliaro, l’acteur Daniel Pilon et l’ex-chanteur-devenu réalisateur de films Allan Nicholls (JB & the Playboys.)

Sadly, after almost twenty years of Sunday morning Gold on CJFM, the show’s run finally came to an end in the summer of 1994 with yours truly … off and running again!

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
