AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
Edition #1415 - September 13, 2026

BOB McADOREY
CHUM Toronto
September 17, 1964 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Doug Thompson)

One of Canada's most influential jocks of his time, Bob McAdorey had the power to make or break a song.

McAdorey, CHUM's music director for much of the '60s, not only decided what songs would be played on the station but how they would be ranked on the CHUM Chart. This was especially important for Canadian artists in the years before Can-Con regulations. From 1961 to 1968, Mac played those songs (and a few oldies) on his popular afternoon show on CHUM from 1961 to 1968.

Enjoy Bob McAdorey on CHUM from September 17, 1964 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of the Week.
