Radio Daze

If you have some spare time and enjoy the history of radio, there's a site out there for you to explore.

Bill Dulmage has put together a rather comprehensive home page for all things radio (and that evil medium television as well). The Bill Dulmage Radio and TV Archive, is a virtual museum of radio and TV.

It has downloadable airchecks of famous radio personalities, a History section on Canadian radio stations, Technical data, schedules, ratings, photos and a whole lot more.

A former college class mate and co-worker of mine, Bill has devoted much of his spare time to cataloguing the Radio industry. It's hard to believe that one person would dedicate so much time to the pursuit of an industry, but here it is. A fine research vehicle for anyone looking to learn about the media.

The focus is mostly on Southern Ontario and Northern New York State, but there are other areas where he directs his attention to as well. Be sure to check out his links section, it will send you off in search of even more information from a wide selection of sources.

Easy to navigate and full of gems, it's worth a visit. Grab a cup of coffee, once there you'll want to stay for a while!
