Spongebobmang said "As a tie-in to one in a million's post, 'CKX Memories", I decided to start a thread and issue a challenge to E-Brandon nation...     ...Post as many names of current and former CKX anchors, reporters, and even behind-camera personnel, and where they are now. See how many memories can be jogged, and see if any of the personalities we list will come on board and share their memories. I'll start it off:     Ron Thompson - Retired.   Cathy Fowler   Karen Chrest   Leah Hextall - Sports Anchor with CKY.   Shawn Churchill - Sports Anchor with CKY.   Susan Tymofichuk - News Anchor with CKY.   Mike Yawney - Reporter with City TV Calgary.   Mark Jardine - City TV Winnipeg.   Heather Steele - City TV Winnipeg.   Brent Fitzpatrick - Newspaper guy in Saskatchewan.   Monica Truffyn - Still at CKX.   Bob Bruce - Radio Personality in Brandon.   Darren Dreger - TSN Personality.   Dean Molberg - Sports radio reporter.   Mike Stackhouse - Radio host, was on morning show in Yorkton.   The Millards - Sports reporters.   Cameron McIntosh - CBC National News reporter.     I have several more in mind, but will allow others to post...Good luck.

I worked (so to speak) at CKX as a Writer-producer in the mid-sixties with John Kozak, Marie Evans, Art Scopic, Jack Stuart, Bob Carter...I have no idea where they are today but would love to hear. J.B. Craig was still running the place and Stuart was just taking over. Can't forget my good buddy, Garth Gilchrist, salesman extraordinaire, who is happily retired in B.C. with his lovely wife, Joan. I retired a year ago from Global BC (BCTV) and am happily esconced in beautiful Peachland, B.C. Other names keep coming to mind - Sales Manager Archie Olson, film cameraman Dick Thomas and, of course, all the on-air guys who have mostly already been mentioned.

there is Brenda McKague, head TV writer at one point ...

Glad to hear CKX seems to have been saved. So many amazing times....and even more amazing people!!  

It is definitely a walk down Memory Lane, reading these posts.  
I can add a few whom I have kept up with:  
 
-Cindy Stevens(The Deck, Weather,FM News) now, In charge of most of MB Government Communications,Deputy Minister or something like that and The Queens Printer.  
 
-Joe Czech (The Deck, Radio Announcer, worked for CKY Radio News) now works in Provincial Government communictions as well.  
 
-Barb Czech(Ross) TV News, went to CKY-News now has her own Communications Business.  
 
-Rob Kruk(News Camera) lives in Regina still a Camera Man doing some freelance and Independent TV Productions.  
 
-Mark Humphries(The Deck)now owns his own Bag Pipe Band Drum Making Business down in the states, He has a Website.  
 
-Mary Barol(not sureon spelling of last name)she worked in CKX News, and moved to Winnipeg MTN.  
If you Google her name, you get a lot of sites popping up. She apparantly went back to School became a Lawyer, and works for one of the Big Media Companies down in Toronto. she is on the Banff Art School Board, etc.  
 
-Wendell Philips(Camera Man in News and TV Production)is one of the top photojournalits in the country if not the world (he has his own website) he recently stayed with us when giving a showing of his work to raise money for different International  
Charity Organizations. He lives in Vancouver with his charming wife Nancy who is Deputy-Chief Justice in British Columbia. We always start talking about the Old Days when we get together.  
You can find him all over the World, where ever there is suffering, and usually danger, he'll be there.  
 
As for myself, living in Winnipeg since 1991. wentback to school to get my sciences, as I wanted to get into radiation therapy, was having to many people I knew die of Cancer and wanted to help. Managed a American Footwear Manufacturing Company for 10 years, until I got injured at work. Gay and I have been married for 31 years.  
 
Nowadays, it's house husband, people tell me Im a Student of the Arts, seems I can draw fairly well, all other time spent with my 4 yr old Yellow Labrador Retriever(I call him my therapy dog), he makes sure that I leave the house on a regular basis.  
 
There is one memory of CKX Days that I consider not one of my better ones and that's when I got Brian Taylor's Job over Rod Slawson. I wish that it gone differently than it did, I know it ruined a friendship(I thought of everyone there as a friend,if not almost family). Rod,I just want to say I'm sorry things worked out the way they did. It has bothered me over the years. I know it might seem silly to you but that's just the way I am. Sorry, you were much better at the technical side of the job. Me, I just had the Gift of the Gab

...I saw Jesse Carlson doing sports on CTV Saskatoon the other night. He must have JUST left CKX.

I meanin the way that I find this ereunion thing last week, and right after while buying gas at my local Shell Station, I hear,"Lorne Wiley, right?" I turn around and a young woman I don't recognize says,"You probably don't remember me but I work at CKX many years ago, my name is..."  
Unfortunately, she was right I didn't remember her. Which is not a good thing, it happens quite a bit especially with people you apparently went to school with you. The sort where you find out that they were in Grade 10 and you were in Grade 12. Yeah, no problem all Grade Twelve Students, paid a lot of attention to 10th Graders. Oh after reading my first posting, I need to say I did not manage the Footwear Company. I managed their Manitoba Operation.  
Be Good, Take Care,  
Lorne Wiley  
Thought of another name and where they are now. Debbie McKenzie, was in News, now working with Provincial Gov't Communications as well.  
 
Clark McGaw, "The Duck" a lot of good memories working with Clark,  
one of the best involved Holly Doan, a Curling Iron and Clark, just before she went on the air at 6 O'Clock. Boy, I never knew a person could turn that many shades of Red.  

Jodee is in Winnipeg working for the Government..not sure exactly whats she doing. I believe it might be something to do with one of the Politicians or something..but again not exactly sure but she is working for the Government

After working for about 15 years as a CBC National Cameraman, Herb Tyler, based in Ottawa, then freelanced for 7 years before re-joining CBC TV in Iqualit, Nunuvat (on Baffin Island). Currently, he proudly carries the camera with CTV News in Ottawa.

Thanks for the great memories of past years.. I worked at KX96 FM back in 1986 along with many of the names mentioned here.  
 
I always wondered where Mark Evens ended up, last time I saw him we were both working at CKRC in Winnipeg!

I remembered listening to Darrell on the radio and often wondered what ever happened to him.I remember seeing him on a commercial a few years back (maybe 8) for computer recycling.

Mark is a Producer with CBC-Tv in the NWT. I think he's in Whitehorse.
