LISTEN: Winnipeg Radio Reunion highlights with Racoon Carney, Don Percy, Courtney James & more

The saying goes that you haven’t worked in radio, until you’ve worked in Winnipeg.

Personalities like Brother Jake Edwards, Terry DiMonte, Don Percy, and many others gathered June 12-14 for the Winnipeg Radio Reunion. It saw colleagues who’ve worked in the market, both past and present, reminisce and reconnect.

Broadcast Dialogue caught up with organizer Ralph “Racoon” Carney – an alum of CKRC and 1290 AM (CFRW-AM) Winnipeg, among other stations – to talk about bringing the event to life. He shares some weekend highlights, alongside Paul Graham, Courtney James, Jim Goddard, and Don Percy.

Watch for our photo gallery from the Winnipeg Radio Reunion farewell luncheon in the June 26th edition of Broadcast Dialogue’s Weekly Briefing.
