The Region 105.9’s Morning Man Jim Lang talks about the power of hyper-local radio, the awe–inspiring signage he encountered while visiting Lee Eckley at CHUM-FM [‘through these doors walk the finest radio talent in Canada’], his Humber College internship with an absolutely all-star broadcasting team at Q107 [John Derringer, Gene Valaitis, Jane Hawtin, Andy Frost, John Gallagher, Jimmy James, Bob Mackowycz Sr, Steve Anthony], enjoying his one & only LIVE Stanley Cup parade while working in Montreal in 1993, covering Super Bowls 42 & 43, the different level of restaurants visited by players vs media while working as travelling beat reporter for the Toronto Maple Leafs, co-writing memoirs with NHLers Tie Domi/Max Domi/Wendel Clark/Bryan Berard, working on 'Everyday Hockey Heroes' with Bobby Margarita/Bob McKenzie/The Bobfather, and how he combines just 6hrs sleep with “coffee o’clock” to dominate his 5a-10a weekday morning radio timeslot!
