Dave McNea CHYR 710
*****
Dave McNea, 19 years old in 1975 (above), was the morning man at CHYR. He remained 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 Venon, 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 radiio 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 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.
