Inc. award for going over and above the call of duty! About half a year after the CISN launch I was both fortunate and unfortunate enough to have launched CJAX FM, Edmonton's Rockin' country radio station. Fortunate because there is 'nothing' more fun and enjoyable than launching a new radio station; hiring a great motivated staff; and trying something new and innovative on the radio. Unfortunate because Bob McCord launched a 'machine' in the market; CFCW had and still has a firm grasp on the Alberta rural AM listeners; and Maclean-Hunter was planning to get out of radio all together leaving us with less than adequate tools to really give it a go in the market. However - lots of good things happened with CJAX. First off we had 'great' people who went on to very successful careers in both the radio and television industry.

Actually he was serving steaks at The Keg but had family roots 'deep' into the business and the taste for radio was in his blood. Since 'graduating' from Edmonton, Brian has gone on to run top notch properties in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. I call him one of my 'true' friends - meaning he'd be one of the first guys I'd call with the message "Bri - I need bail!" Clay St. Thomas Another almost raw rookie, Clay Hagel, (Clay
