“The Moj” soon to be broadcasting BC Lions games on radio station CKNW
When I was younger, they seemed to happen a lot more.
As a kid growing up in the ‘70s, the only Canuck games you could watch were on Saturday nights. Everything else was on radio and you listened to Robson paint that incredible picture to you in the way that only he could. Another one occurred when Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur paid a visit to our MOJO 730 studios in 2004. Lafleur was on a tour promoting men’s health awareness. I told him how my late father, who passed away in 1983, was a huge Habs fan while I was on the Canucks bandwagon. The Canadiens dominance – and my frustration – made it impossible for us to watch the game in the same room I told him. I’d watch upstairs while dad would be downstairs.
As many of you have heard by now, the Lions broadcasts have returned to CKNW 980 after an almost 20-year absence.Having the ability to call Lions games on CKNW will be yet another surreal moment for this agent, and again, I wonder what my dad would be thinking. Somehow, I got through. Frosty introduced me, ran about a 10-15 second clip of the celebrity and asked me who I thought it was.“Take a guess,” replied Forst, probably giving his producer the stink eye in the process for putting a 10-year-old kid on the air.Forst laughed and let me go.
Heck, I still remember the ‘Roving Mike’ with Bill Hughes and Hal Davis with the 8 a.m. news and his classic sign off of ‘have a good day now, do ya’ hear’.
