Radio Recall no. 63 - Thom Ernst

Thom Ernst began getting involved with CIUT in the late 1980s with a show called About Town. It was a Monday to Friday afternoon program and Thom was producer for the Thursday segment. It was the first time doing a radio show. It ran for nearly 10 years. They featured movies, music, dance, literature - the arts! This was Thom's forte. 

In the 1970s Thom was hired by TV Ontario to work on Saturday Night at the Movies. He was sent to Los Angeles to conduct interviews with the likes of Peter Fonda. When the program's iconic host Elwie Yost retired, they tapped on Thom's shoulder to be the show's new host. Since then he's written a couple of books. 

So let's welcome Thom Ernst to Radio Recall! It was his firsttime back in the station since we moved into Hart House and he commented on that.
