Ken Connors: On His Terms

One of the first questions I ask people when they make a decision
to leave their radio job under the guise of retirements is: "Were
you pushed or did you jump?" Unlike the Terry Dimonte
"retirement" where he was clearly pushed, Ken Connors is leaving
his weekend morning job at CJAD 800am on his own terms.


In this episode, you will hear all about Ken's career which
started at McGill Radio, continued throughout Ontario, to Ottawa
and back to Montreal. Ken spent most of the 90's at CHOM and then
he shifted to Standard Broadcasting's CJFM where he remained for
6 years before moving to 940 News, Q92 and then it was back to
CJAD where he has been since 2016. A fairly remarkalbe career in
North America's most unique radio market. Ken and I spent a
little bit of time reminiscing about those days at CHOM, and some
of things we learned about the broadcast business. Ken is well
liked, a nice guy and was fun to work with on and off the air.
