CHUM was founded by four Toronto businessmen, including Al Leary, a former sportscaster, who had been the station manager at CKCL for 14 years. CHUM received its licence in late November 1944 to operate a station with 1000 watts. CHUM launched as a dawn-to-dusk radio station on October 28, 1945.
When CHUM was about to debut, Leary told the press that the new station would be known for community service and in-depth news, in addition to live talent and the most popular phonograph records.
Dave Johnson joined CHUM in January 1958, taking over the 7 p.m.-midnight shift at the fledgling Top 40 station. He soon developed a teen dance party called the Hi-Fi Club Dance, a few blocks up from CHUM. He personally hosted, introduced live acts and played '45s.
On May 2, 1959 you could find Dave behind the mic for his daily show at CHUM. [ LISTEN TO DAVE! ] (26:27)
Launching what became Canada's leading Top 40 station, Phil Ladd, Harvey Dobbs, Josh King, Phil Stone, Pete Nordheimer and Hank Noble were the jocks on CHUM's first day of hit parade programming on May 27, 1957. Listen to an original chum jocks montage. (6:39)
Less than three years after Waters acquired the station, and soon after bringing the new full-time transmitter online, a major programming change was made.
On May 27, 1957 at 6 AM, Waters switched the station to a "Top 50" format that had proven itself popular in some U.S. cities; Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up" was the first song played.
BeatlesCHUM owner Allan Waters thought Top 40 radio sounded like "rocks smashing together" the first time he heard it at WQAM Miami in the winter of 1956. Despite that he decided the new format was perfect to shake up his station's ratings, which had been anaemic since the station's founding in 1945. So despite reaction ranging from scepticism to outright hostility, Waters made the move. CHUM went on to become one of the most successful stations in Canadian radio history. But what of the original CHUM jocks? These pioneers came from various backgrounds but all have one thing in common - they laid the groundwork for one of Canada's most successful radio stations.
In the late 1950s, CHUM was calling itself "Radio One", as its ratings continued to increase. An important part of CHUM's success was the station's unpredictable morning man Al Boliska, who joined CHUM in October 1957, after working at station CKLC in Kingston, Ontario.
By 1959, Boliska had made a name for himself as a disc jockey who got listeners talking. He also made them laugh, and became known for telling what he called the "World's Worst Jokes".
Boliska did a number of stunts - taking part in a professional wrestling match with Whipper Billy Watson - he lost, and he stayed away from his show for several days. He was now too discouraged to do his show. A hypnotist was called in, and Boliska's self-esteem was restored.

The station rose in popularity in Toronto in the late 1950s and early 1960s; though it never supplanted perennial Toronto ratings champ CFRB at the top of the ratings chart, it was still a major broadcasting powerhouse with a particular appeal to the teen market. As the station became more successful, it also built yet another new transmitter in Mississauga, Ontario along the Lake Ontario shoreline, and raised its power once again to its current 50,000 watts around the clock.
June 17, 19631959: MIKE DAROW JOINS CHUM: As a disc jockey, Mike Darow stood head and shoulders above most of the others. Of course that was easy since Mike was 6' 4". In fact, Mike was the tallest disc jockey on CHUM until Tom Rivers came along. Mike arrived at CHUM in March of 1959 from western Canada.
He replaced original disc jockey Phil Stone, who moved into CHUM management. For the first few years, Darow was on from 4 to 7 p.m. Then, when Bob McAdorey arrived at CHUM in 1961, Mike moved to the 1-to-4 shift.
Mike's two most famous expressions were "smile drivers" (meaning motorists) and "from the two mikes and two turntables" (meaning himself plus the microphone and CHUM's two turntables. Mike left CHUM in the fall of 1965. Sadly, Mike passed away in 1996.

A DECADES WORTH OF JOHN SPRAGGE: He only had one on-air gig, but it was one of the best. For 10 years - 1958 to 1968 - John Spragge was the midday announcer at Toronto's CHUM
In December, 1963, with the arrival of morning man Jay Nelson, Spragge's hours changed to 10 a.m.-1 p.m. In the spring of 1968, he moved briefly to noon-4 p.m., then noon-3 p.m. by the summer. But by August, with CHUM's switch to the Drake format, the man known as "The Hawk" was gone. Spragge would never do a jock shift again. After CHUM, he spent a few years with the Radio Sales Bureau and Standard Broadcast Sales. He was program director at CFRB Toronto from 1972-85, and also programmed Talk 640 in Toronto in the '90s.

On May 27, 1957, CHUM radio made two changes that would prove very historic. They became the first station in Canada to program Top 40 hit music, 24 hours a day. They also began a tradition that would last 29 years with the weekly issuing of the CHUM Chart.
From May 27, 1957 to June 14, 1986, 1,513 CHUM Charts were issued without interruption (the last chart was prepared but never issued; there was one week in 1971 when two charts were issued). This extended run made it the second-longest continually issued music chart by a private North American radio station in history.
For the first 26 charts, the songs were listed as "CHUM's Top Ten", followed by "The Following Forty." On the top 10, song and title were listed; the following forty listed only songs. The cover of the original chart on May 27, 1957 featured a "Disc Jockey Cat" known as Clementine accompanied by caricatures of the CHUM deejays of the day - Phil Ladd, Harvey Dobbs, Josh King, Phil Stone, Pete Nordheimer and Hank Noble.
The first major change took place with the 27th chart, dated November 25, 1957. The size of the chart was halved and for the first time all 50 songs were listed by song, title and label. Also a new face appeared on the cover, that of Al Boliska, who replaced Phil Ladd as morning man (Ladd went to weekends). It was the first of many on-air personnel changes over the years.
With the chart of April 28, 1958, CHUM ceased to publish its lineup on the back cover. But beginning with the chart of September 1, 1958, CHUM finally got around to identifying those deejays on the front cover. For the record, the names were Pete Nordheimer, Phil Stone, Dave Johnson, Bob Laine, John Spragge, Harvey Dobbs and Al Boliska.
On March 16, 1959 another new feature was added - Top Ten Albums. The first number one album was "Come Dance With Me" by Frank Sinatra. This album chart disappeared October 24, 1960 - replaced by a listing of CHUM's Top 10 from one year ago and from two years ago.
THE DICK CLARK SHOW
The new CHUM chart, 1963.
CHUM completely revamped the CHUM chart beginning with the issue dated May 27, 1963 - the sixth anniversary of the first chart. On the inside, the Top 50 was on the left (with the Top Ten in larger type).
The Moose Parade made its last appearance June 22, 1964 - replaced by a listing of "Hot New Hits."
On February 6, 1967 - just as the album rock era was approaching its peak - the Album Index disappeared and was replaced by a listing of hits from years gone by (five years ago, four years ago, etc.) Around this time, the CHUMBUG list was replaced by a "Chart Chuckle".
"the BEATLES in TORONTO"
CHUM Chart September 21, 1964In August, 1968, the old on-air CHUM disappeared with the introduction of a modified Drake format. The station was never the same again, and neither was the CHUM chart. Beginning with the chart of August 9, the Top 50 was reduced to a Top 30, and list of five "Hot New Hits" was replaced by a list of five CHUM chargers. Also, the album chart returned with a top five listing. The front cover had a psychedelic look, usually with the picture of a DJ.
The first issue of the "new-look" CHUM chart was listed as "Collectors Issue #1". Later, they made the number coincide with the number of charts produced since the first one in 1957. However, they were five behind in the count and remained so until the final chart.
In the early '70s, CHUM added a top 10 album chart and also began a "Hitbound" feature (dropped by 1973). The album chart was expanded to Top 15 in 1974, reflecting the rise of albums in popularity.
From May 27, 1957 to June 14, 1986, 1,513 CHUM Charts were issued without interruption (the last chart was prepared but never issued; there was one week in 1971 when two charts were issued). This extended run made it the second-longest continually issued music chart by a private North American radio station in history.
NOTE: The record of 32 years - from 1960 to 1992 - is held by Hamilton's CKOC.
BOB McADOREY: EVERY SHOW TOLD A STORY: Bob McAdorey didn't just play records, he picked them.Doubling as afternoon jock and music director during CHUM's glory days of the 1960s, McAdorey played a huge part in the station's success during that memorable decade.One of the biggest plums of his job was determining the rankings of the songs on the CHUM Chart, which during his time as MD was a Top 50 ranking.The CHUM Chart was one of the most influential music charts in North America and could make-or-break the career of a musical act
For the first 26 charts, the songs were listed as "CHUM's Top Ten", followed by "The Following Forty." On the top 10, song and title were listed; the following forty listed only songs. The cover of the original chart on May 27, 1957 featured a "Disc Jockey Cat" known as Clementine accompanied by caricatures of the CHUM deejays of the day - Phil Ladd, Harvey Dobbs, Josh King, Phil Stone, Pete Nordheimer and Hank Noble.
Oddly, no names were attached to the pictures, so we were left guessing as to who was who (the lineup appeared on the back). This music survey was not called the CHUM Chart in the beginning - the name was "CHUM's Weekly Hit Parade." In fact, the name CHUM Chart did not appear on the cover until 1961. The first number-one song was "All Shook Up" by Elvis Presley.
Dave Johnson and In September, 1964, evening jock Dave Johnson was nearing the end of a very successful run at CHUM. He started there in January, 1958, and left in the fall of 1965. Here is the third and final hour of Dave's show on September 11, 1964. [ LISTEN ] (57:05)

THE DICK CLARK SHOWIn 1963, CHUM started carrying The Dick Clark Show, a syndicated program offered to other stations around North America and was a response to the hiring of the popular Dave Mickie at rival CKEY. The programs ran on CHUM from 7-9 p.m. weeknights for a few months. While fronted by Clark, the shows were co-hosted by Dave Johnson who followed with his own program solo from 9-10:30 p.m. Clark was on tape for all but the first show while Johnson was live. Listen to Part [ 1 ] and [ 2 ]
The new CHUM chart, 1963.Several design changes were made in the early '60s. On January 25, 1961, "Clementine", a disc jockey cat playing 78 rpm records, was replaced by an unnamed kangaroo, playing 45 rpm records.
The kangaroo was short-lived - it disappeared August 21, 1961 - replaced by a "music note" with caricatures of CHUM deejays hanging from it. A major addition in 1961 was the introduction of the "Chumdinger", the song that made the biggest jump from one week to the next. This popular feature continued until 1968.
In November, 1962, the Moose Parade - a listing of the top 10 country hits - appeared for the first time (CHUM had a country show hosted by Moose Latreck). The CHUM Chart also listed the "Unforgettable Five" - the top five from one and two years ago.

On the right, a list of "Pops of the Past" to be played that week on CHUM was listed, along with the "Chumdinger", the Moose Parade (now Top 5) and the Album Index, a look at the top five albums (reviving the album chart that disappeared in 1960). Also for the first time was "CHUM Pop Pix", a short bio of a hit parade star complete with picture.
The music note disappeared from the cover, leaving the layout department more flexibility with the cover. The short-lived "Pops of the Past" feature disappeared December 9, 1963 with a listing of CHUMBUG contest numbers taking its place. If your CHUMBUG number appeared on the list, you won a prize. Bobby Vinton's Blue On Blue was the first "CHUMDINGER" of the week.

GOOD STUFF FROM DUFF...Long-time weekend announcer Duff Roman got his own weekday shift late in 1967 when Dick Hayes left after two years in the early afternoon slot. One of CHUM's most endearing personalities, Roman left the station in 1968 and - after a year-long stay at CKRC Winnipeg - landed a stint as program director and morning man at rival CKFH in the fall of 1969. He returned to the CHUM group in management in 1974.
On this 50 minute-plus aircheck, Roman is on remote at Speed Sport '68 on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition. For years, CHUM had a radio booth at the 'Ex, which he held every year at the CNE during the last two weeks of August.

"the BEATLES in TORONTO"CHUM Chart September 21, 1964
The first issue of the "new-look" CHUM chart was listed as "Collectors Issue #1". Later, they made the number coincide with the number of charts produced since the first one in 1957. However, they were five behind in the count and remained so until the final chart.

Boliska left CHUM in late 1963 to go 'across the street' to CKEY. He was replaced by WKBW Buffalo radio & TV personality Jay Nelson, popularly known as "Jungle Jay" from his role as host of a children's show on Buffalo's Channel 7 which was also popular among Toronto youngsters.
He would be followed by housewives' jock John Spragge; singer/DJ Mike Darow; Pete Nordheimer, replaced in 1961 by Bob McAdorey, teen DJ Dave Johnson, and all night DJ Bob Laine. Later additions to the CHUM DJ lineup included Duff Roman and Brian Skinner, both of whom came from rival Toronto rocker CKEY (then owned by Jack Kent Cooke).
Ashby
The last "pocket" edition was the one dated April 26, 1975. After that, it appeared in the Toronto Star or the Toronto Sun until June 1986.
On that date top 40 music was stopped and a "Favorites of Yesterday and Today" format began. The chart prepared for June 14th was never published.

John Donabie is manning the studio in August of 1973 during the free form era. The voice on one of the commercials is Larry Green who was one of the early DJ’s at the station. The aircheck ends with a segment from John’s Sock Hop show where he used the Rockin’ Rebels as his weekly outro.
Among their later night-time hosts was J. D. Roberts, who joined CHUM for a time in 1977, eventually becoming known across North America as White House correspondent for CBS News, then the co-anchor of CNN's morning program American Morning. Rick Moranis, (SCTV and Ghostbusters), was briefly a late-night CHUM DJ in the mid-seventies under the name "Rick Allan".
CHUM became well known for its zany contests. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was contests such as 'The Walking Man', where listeners had to spot CHUM's mystery walking man using only clues given out on the air. The 1970s' "I Listen to CHUM" promotion had DJs dialing phone numbers at random and awarding $1,000 to anyone who answered the phone with that phrase. The CHUM Chart was the most influential weekly Top 40 chart in Canada and has been hailed as the longest-running continuously published radio station record survey in North America.
THE RISE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE: Duff Roman started at CHUM in 1965 in weekends/swing. He moved to 1-4 p.m. in the fall of 1967 (replacing Dick Hayes), then early in 1968 moved to a short-lived 1-3 p.m. shift.Roman and fellow CHUM legends John Spragge and Bob McAdorey exited the premises as part of a major reshuffling in the summer of 1968.But it was only a temporary departure for Roman - he would later return to 1331 Yonge in 1974 to begin a long career in CHUM management. Here's a cool aircheck of Duff Roman on CHUM from February 17 1968. [ PLAY ] (49:47)
CHUM was flying high in July of 1972, thanks to an all-star jock lineup. Scott Carpenter July 12, Part 1 (30:57) and 2 (31:18), Jay Nelson July 14 (31:35), John Rode July 14 (31:39), Roger Ashby July 16 (21:12), and Duke Roberts July 16 (21:50).
By the mid-1980s, CHUM had lost ground in the Toronto ratings to competing Top 40 station CFTR and FM-based music stations.
REMEMBERING JOHN LENNON
December 9, 1980
Rock radio responded quickly in the wake of John Lennon's shooting. Within minutes of media reports that he had been shot many stations began dumping their regular programming for a steady stream of John Lennon and Beatles music, and news updates. When the unthinkable was announced - that he had died - rock radio's normally joyful tone turned very somber.Larry Wilson, CHUM-FM's 10 p.m.-2 a.m. announcer, was on-the-air when news broke of Lennon's shooting around 11 p.m. eastern time. This aircheck picks up CHUM-FM's programming in the early hours of December 9 with news of Lennon's death still fresh and emotions raw. The aircheck begins with Wilson talking to veteran Toronto announcer John Donabie and concludes with the beginning of Ingrid Schumacher's 2-6 a.m. shift. [ LISTEN ] (40:51)
On June 6, 1986, at 3 p.m., after playing Starship's "We Built This City", CHUM dropped its Top 40 format for a gold-based adult contemporary format, "Favorites of Yesterday and Today". The first song after the relaunch was "Beginnings" by Chicago.
The change also discontinued the CHUM Chart, which ended the week of June 14, 1986, with Madonna's "Live to Tell" as the final Number 1 song. By 1988, the station had evolved into a brighter AC format, "Toronto's Soft Rock", focusing on pop hits from the past decade and dropping much of the older music. While starting off with modest ratings, CHUM began to slip further over the next few years; in the last book as an AC, CHUM was ranked 11th and held a 2.9 share of the Toronto market as of September 1989.
September 1, 1989, CHUM adopted an oldies format, drawing heavily on its previous Top 40 reputation to cater to the fans of that era's music.
During the 1990s, the on-air lineup included Daryl B, Bob Magee, Kori Skinner, Andy K, Russ McLeod, Roger Kelly, Marc Chambers and Dan Michaels. In 1989, the station acquired the broadcast rights for the Toronto Argonauts.
Led by play-by-play man Marc Charbonneau and color commentator Peter Martin, the CHUM broadcast team helped to celebrate the team's Grey Cup victory in 1991 in Winnipeg. By 1997, much of the airstaff was replaced with voicetracking. Only the morning show was live.
In 1998, CHUM obtained the radio broadcast rights to Toronto Blue Jays baseball, resulting in a shift towards sports programming on the station.
From 1978 to 1984, CHUM-AM ran a Sunday night feature show called 9 O'Clock Rock. The program showcased the talents of John Majhor, the CHUM jock (1975-86) who also hosted Canada's first successful music video show, Video Singles, in 1983. 9 O'Clock Rock was an up-to-date look at the entertainment scene that included interviews, features, album reviews, concert previews and entertainment tidbits.
9 O'Clock Rock debuted in 1978 with Majhor and Mary Anne Pervin co-hosting. The first show begins with Majhor interviewing singer Jackson Browne. Mary Ann then interviews Irv Ivers of Columbia Pictures about rock movies.
That's followed by a concert preview with CPI's Donna Loux, then Majhor interviews John Gibb of the Battered Wives in a punk rock segment. Majhor looks at the top selling singles and new album releases, Mary Ann reviews "The Omen II" and the program wraps up with entertainment shorts called Grapevine. Here is the 9 O'Clock Rock program on June 11, 1978. (48:49)

Roger Ashby was the longest serving jock at CHUM. He started at CHUM-AM in 1969 and was still there doing the "Sunday Morning Oldies Show" when the oldies stopped in 2009. Ashby wasn't on CHUM-AM continuously for those 40 years - he was off-the-air for a while working in programming in the late '70s and early '80s, and during the short-lived era of The Team in the early 2000s (though he did do the "Sunday Morning Oldies Show" at 1050chum.com during that time).
Second on the all-time list is Jay Nelson, who did the morning show at CHUM for 17 years (1963-1980). Third place goes to Russ McLoud who spent 17 years at 1331 Yonge (1984-2001). In fourth place is Terry Steele, who arrived at CHUM from WNOR Norfolk, Virginia, in 1972 and stayed for 15 years.
