AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
Edition #1402 - June 14, 2026

DAVE MICKIE
CKEY Toronto
June 17, 1963 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Bill Dulmage)

Dave Mickie wasn't talking too fast, you were listening too slow.

That line was actually used by another fast-talking jock - B. Mitchel Reed - but it also applies to Mickie. His speedy dialogue was a trademark for the jock who was a sensation in southern Ontario radio in the early '60s. He later became slow-talking David Marsden on stations like CHUM-FM and CFNY, but we remember the earlier incarnation of this legendary Canadan jock.

Enjoy Dave Mickie on CKEY from June 14, 1963 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of the Week.
