By 1962, radio was fighting against TV for people's attention. But the older generations probably still turned on the radio on a Saturday or Sunday evening and sat in their chair listening to the shows. (Toronto Archives /personal collection). Do you still listen to the radio?

Canada's First FM Stereo Station had its first offices on Bloor St at Balmuto ( SE corner ). Today we know it as Virgin 99.9, I grew up knowing it as Mix 99.9. Originally though it was CFRB 99.9. A simulcast of CFRB 1010 ( which is still on the AM dial ).

What a difference 10 years makes. Markham Rs & Bloor St W at the south east corner. I visited Mirvish Village this past weekend. Lots has changed. I personally think they should have saved at least one sign. ( 2016 Photo: JFVoll / 2026 Photo: Victor Caratun ).
