Radio: 25 years ago this week - Nov 29, 2000 - 21 lose their gigs at Y-95, CHML & Energy 108. Brutal day - I was told to go in after the carnage and make sure there was music on the air for Y-95 the next day. There were still pictures of family on peoples desks...you don't ever forget these moments.
