Alan Cross on the Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 5/25/22   About Alan Cross -     I've always been a geek.  Just ask anyone I went to school with or any of the girls I tried to date.   My obsession with music began at age six when my grand­mother gave me a transistor radio—an old Lloyds—which spawned an all-consuming fascination with things that came over airwaves.  A few years later, my uncle—who moonlighted by servicing jukeboxes—kick-started my record collection by dumping a box of old 7-inch singles on me one Sunday afternoon.  I was hooked.   In October 1980, I got my start at CKUW at the University of Winnipeg, which, at the time, was a closed-circuit station.  Our broadcast range was limited to one hallway and one cafeteria.   After graduating I ended up at CJRL in Kenora, a 1,000 watt AM station that broadcast to the people and wildlife of Northwestern Ontario.  From there, it was on to KX-96/Brandon and Q94-FM/Winnipeg before I ended up at CFNY (renamed The Edge) in October 1986.  I'd first heard about the place through Rush's “The Spirit of Radio” when I was still in high school and remember thinking to myself “Wouldn't it be cool to work there one day?”   After fifteen years as a CFNY/Edge in a variety of announcer gigs, I moved to program director at Y95 in Hamilton, overseeing, in part, a frequency change that made the station Y108.   In 2004, I started a four-year stint as the station's Program Director (where I was somehow named Canada's PD of the year in 2005, 2006, and 2008), my latent geekiness once again came to the fore and I became Senior Program Director for Corus Interactive, the online arm of Corus Radio. My last project with Corus was as Head Curator of ExploreMusic, a truly unique online and on-air feature dedicated to music discovery.   Oh, and that radio show.  The Ongoing History of New Music debuted in February 1993 and since then it's…well, it's taken on a life of its own. There have been over 720 one-hour episodes making it (I think) the longest-running music documentary in Canada and one of the longest in North America—if not the world!   When that (temporarily) ended, I started a new show called The Secret History of Rock which ran for 100 two-hour episodes on stations across the country. (I own the rights to all those shows. I'm hanging on to those in hopes I can syndicate them globally. Anyone interested?)   After leaving The Edge/Corus in June 2011, I spent a couple of years working with various broadcasters:  Astral/Bell, Jazz-FM, Pattison, and NewCap.  Then I hooked up with Central Ontario Broadcasting, the Barrie, Ontario-based company that owns Indie 88 in Toronto.  I was part of the team that launched the station and became the voice of Indie for a year.   On August 1, 2014, I moved back to Corus as a sort of consultant/strategist–and The Ongoing History was revived as of September 1 of that year.   Then, on March 1, 2015, I co-founded the Music Technology Group and Event series with Andrew Dick and Nathalia Ribeiro. The group is for anyone who is interested in connecting with veterans in the Music and Technology industries and those who simply love music and want to learn more about how technology has shaped the way we consume, create, and monetize music. The Music Technology events take place in Toronto, every 4-5 weeks. The group is free to join and the events are free to attend.   I had a weekly national newspaper column in the Metro commuter paper (since gone bust), four published reference works on alt-rock, and four audiobooks under the banner of The Alan Cross Guide to Alternative Rock. Those books are also available chapter-by-chapter through iTunes. Just search for my name under “audiobooks.” Oh, and there's a children's book called The Science of Song. These days, I write a weekly column for GlobalNews.ca.    In January 2015, I co-founded Major League Mixes, a company that assists sports teams in getting their music mix right for their games. Our first client was a good one: The Toronto Maple Leafs. Learn more about Major League Mixes and all that we do here. Too bad that thing folded due to circumstances beyond our control.   What else?  I was a script editor for the documentary Who the F@#k is Arthur Fogel. There was ExploreMusic-TV on Bite-TV and Aux.  The inflight audio programming I did for Air Canada for years. The consulting. Working for the now-defunct Songza (I was disgarded when it was bought by Google). The various TV appearances.  The official biographies I wrote for rock bands.  Appearances in dozens of documentaries.  The magazine articles. The narrations.  The voicework, The consulting. The speaking gigs and lecture series. The Science of Rock'n'Roll travelling museum exhibit. The traveling to music festivals and conferences around the world (not to mention other places for pleasure and sheer curiosity). And did I mention that I hosted Reach for the Top for one season?   Jeezus, no wonder we don't have kids.   Oh… I almost forgot check out my Audiobooks and new children's book on Amazon!   About The DJ Sessions -   “The DJ Sessions” is a Twitch/Mixcloud "Featured Partner” live streaming/podcast series featuring electronic music DJ's/Producers via live mixes/interviews and streamed/distributed to a global audience.

Up until 2013 I had lived my life without any regrets. Whenever there was a fork in the road I was always 100% sure I'd taken the right path.  Leaving these buddies and the City of Hamilton behind was the first time that I wasn't sure if I'd made the right life decision. I still think so fondly about the 2011-2013 era of Y108 and the great vibe we had in the hallways of the radio station and notorious nature of our posse on the streets of the city. Ben McVie, Chuck Evans, Scott Penfold, Nick Cino.

Y108 wouldn't be able to do all that we have done for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital without all the help from Randy Owen. Randy started Country Cares for St. Jude Kids, which started the radiothons and fundraising efforts for St. Jude in 1989. Since it was established, Randy has helped raise $800M to help the kids!

I caught up with Barry Taylor of Comedy records.  We worked together many years ago at 102.1 The Edge

On this episode we sat down with Jim Kelly (and occasionally his dog Bruce chimes in). Jim is one of the morning show hosts on FM96 in London, Ontario and Y108 in Hamilton, Ontario. We talked to Jim about the struggles of breaking through the radio industry, what his daily routine is at the station and how important it is to be yourself. We also chatted about the strength of improv and the power of saying “Yes and” can apply to all aspects of life. Enjoy this episode below! Follow Jim on Twitter, and on Instagram here! Check us out on social media Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube

Mike chats with 102.1 the Edge morning show trio The B Team, a.k.a Shawna, Jay and Chris Z. We learn how they made the move from Y108, how they continued to broadcast during the pandemic, their hopes and dreams for the future and more.

We've made it pretty obvious how much we LOVE St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and the hospital runs on 100% based on donations, so we're doing all that we can to support St. Jude, including walking/running for them this Saturday!  Lydia Chapman from St. Jude tells the Y'd Awake Morning Show about all of the benefits from joining Team Y108, including seeing Kristen possibly run in the a onesie!

Mike chats with Shawna, Chris Z and Jay Brody who are The Morning Grind on Y108.

Jimmy Roach is to Pittsburgh radio as Mr. Rogers is to PBS Sounds like a crazy statement, right? Not really, if you think about it. For decades, Jimmy Roach was a friend to Pittsburgh radio listeners. Not only a friend, but a neighbor. With stops at WDVE, WRRK, Y108, Froggy, and back to Y108, Jimmy Roach was the most genuine voice you'll ever find on the airwaves. We joked that this could have been a 12 episode series... Let's just say, it probably won't be the last time I have him on the pod. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/faceforradiopodcast/support

These two tag team their way into the hearts of everyone they encounter, through music and sense of humour. Roddy led the band Rebel Emergency with whom he stage surfed, literally.  Pat’s played more shows than the Grateful Dead (maybe), including his years leading the acclaimed Walkerviles. Both have done time in NYC and have stories about that and more,  and songs to share.  It’s a “Beautifully Stange” hour plus of listening. https://www.audible.ca/pd/Radio-Records-Rockstars-Audiobook/B07JGF7PS7

Part 2 on my dirty life and times working in Hamilton and shenanigans revolving around Kerry Gray and his 'Loft' (aka. Loft FM) that was fumigated multiple times and became the club house for on-air staff at Y108.  Ben recounts trying to jerk off with his ankles live on a graveyard radio show in his early years, the pathetic salary of his first morning show and the first time he met Kerry.  We explore Kerry's unique lexicon with terms like 'working bag' and 'code red' and what the hell is 'a circle' anyways? only a intense way to smoke pot without interruption.  What happens when a few rock radio dudes hang out and share the stories behind their old inside jokes? this episode.

Recently, Toronto's classic rock station Q107 decided to do a shift in the music they play. Added to their classic rock playlist were the hits of the 90s like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog. Most surprisingly, 'classic rock sounding' hits of the 2010s also made it into the playlist, like Black Keys and The Sheepdogs. What does this mean for rock radio in Toronto, where several stations are already playing modern rock music, and now more and more stations are playing similar songs. And...what's going on with rock radio in general? Radio Dale is the podcast about music, musicians and the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices. We help bring indie and established acts to radio, and spread the word online, as well as develop their careers in today's ever-changing music business. This podcast gives away some of our best information for free, and serves as the 'radio show' the broadcast the ideas, observations and insights we discover every day working with Canadian and International artists. THE EPISODE: THIS WEEK IN MUSIC HISTORY: ...nothing compares to Sinead O'Connor! Discovered and shared from http://thisdayinmusic.com WHO CHARTED! ...the Whitehorse CBC Searchlight regional finalists! ROO'S 60 SECOND TIP: ...your Facebook Fan Page! FEATURED SONG: We helped this band get to their first #1 hit in Canada despite having no radio support from the USA! Canada has adopted this amazing American rock band, and they're back with a new single. It's Rival Sons with 'Open My Eyes' from their upcoming album 'Great Western Valkyrie.' ROUNDTABLE: Q107, The Edge, Indie88, Y108, The Rock, HTZ Fm...although not all in Toronto, depending where you live in the city you can tune into most or all of these rock stations. It used to be that switching to Q meant switching back in time, and you wouldn't hear the hits of the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. Recently, everything changed. You 'might' hear Black Keys on all six of these stations now. What does that mean for rock radio in Toronto? And what does it say about rock in Toronto in general? ---- THE MUSIC: Rival Sons - Open My Eyes (Feature) Web: http://rivalsons.com Polite Fiction - Come A Little Closer (Intro) Web: http://politefiction.bandcamp.com Gloryhound - Let You Down Again (behind This Week In Music History) Web: http://gloryhoundband.com Toob - Sweet Harmony (behind This Week On The Charts) Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/toob-music Elise LeGrow - No Good Woman (First segment of opening theme) RADIO DALE LOGOS courtesy of /r/picrequests on Reddit.
