Dave McNea, 19 years old (pictured above; 1975), formerly was the morning personality at CHYR. He started CHEER radio in 1974. McNea’s tenure there would be brief, as he would be at the Leamington, Ontario radio station until October, 1977.
Thereafter McNea left for CHTK in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, his tenure there, nearly 3 years. Next stop was a hop over to Vernon, BC, on CKAL, a Country station 1050 on the AM dial. Having left radio 1987, Dave McNea’s final stop was at CKO-FM in Vancouver.
While CHYR was not a Detroit radio by any means, Detroiters picked up it’s AM 710 signal from across the Detroit River clearly on the dial. Having said, we remember their CHEER radio ‘brand’ and its great Top 40 sound during the 1960s and 1970s.
This CHYR aircheck is 3 of 5 recently donated to the website. These series of airchecks have become our first CHYR inclusions into the website’s repository.

This CHYR aircheck is the first of 5 Dave recently contributed to the website. And most appreciatively, it is our very first CHYR inclusion into the website’s archive.
