ROCKIN' ROBIN (ROBIN McMILLAN) R.I.P.

Rockin' Robin - popular oldies jock at FM 108 Burlington, Ontario and several other southern Ontario stations - died last week (3-20-24). Robin, whose real name was Robin McMillan, was also heard on the short-lived Canadian Radio Network in the late '80s and early '90s.

We have two airchecks, both scoped:

Rockin' Robin, FM 108, 1982

Rockin' Robin, FM 108, February 24, 1989 (last show)

AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
Edition #1288 - March 24, 2024


SHANE
WGR Buffalo, N.Y.
March 23, 1982 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Art Rockwood)

Ride 'em cowboy!

 The one-and-only Shane Brother Shane is back with his unique brand of radio. There was really nothing like the Cosmic Cowboy, the maverick DJ who entertained on Buffalo's WKBW, WYSL and WGR throughout much of the '70s and '80s. Shane, who did two tours of duty at WLEE Richmond, Virginia, died last year of a heart attack. He was 78.

Enjoy Shane on WGR from March 23, 1982 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of the Week.
