About the show

"A Great Face For Radio"....

Pete's history goes back a long way, to a time before nostalgia had even been invented. That's why we're going to skip the part between the caves and the 4 years in grade 11.

-Currently midday host 9-2 at 102.9 K-Lite FM radio in Hamilton. Last of the original announce staff still on the air from day one when the signal went on the air 6 October 1986.  Fascinating, right?  Movin' on.

-Earlier 1986 was working for sister station 1150 CKOC doing the Top 40 "platter-chatter".  Wait, it gets better.....

-Fall 1981 - January 1986 worked at FM108 radio in Burlington, the original "Gold & Great" revival signal hammering out the 50's & 60's graffiti trail mix with great joy and fun.

-1984 & 1985 Peter was a track announcer at Mosport raceway "Just nawth o' Baum'nville" at Moss corner #5.  He sat in the dirt with a clipboard, microphone and headphones scoping out and reporting on the racers for CanAm & TransAm weekends, as well as dodging the occasional tomato thrown by drunken fans behind him.

-1981 Peter was Promotion manager/Music Director and on/air at CJBQ Belleville,  lovin' the town and also digging the gorgeous beaches on Prince Edward County.  It was a great fun time, and an amazing summer.

-1985 & 1986 Peter worked for Global Television as "voice-over-credit" announcer (done live back then!) and promotional production voice. It turned out to be a most rewarding time that opened a whole new perspective on Television techniques and voicing styles.

-Freelance work has been a rewarding sideline experience for Peter, dating back to 1979 with work for  "for-profit" clients such as Ford Motor Company of Canada, Dofasco Steel, Going Fishing Television, Lafarge Concrete Inc., International Harvester (Navistar), Westinghouse Canada, This Week In Bible Prophecy Int'l., TreStelle Cheese, Weedman, NuGro Agricultural, Young Drivers of Canada.........and hundreds more.

-Charity work has been an ongoing privelege for Pete dating back to 1979 with work for charities like the United Way, Canadian Cancer Society, The Lung Association (board advisor), The MS Society, Neighbor to Neighbor support services, and more.  Pete served 10 years with The Friends of The Hamilton Children's Museum, including one term as President.

-Personal Appearances and hosting duties have numbered in the hundreds over the years including career day motivational talks at schools and a fun semester of teaching at Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technology (Pete's Alma Mater) with eager advertising students in their radio production credit course.

9 May..... I wish all mom's a great Mother's Day on Sunday....Please God...no rain !

Here's what I know so far today..... 

The gong show is coming back, though many of us may not get chance to see it.  Comedy Central is reviving the Chuck Barris show which , for those too young to remember, was a poor man's version of "America's got Talent" where performers don't always make it thru their performance before a gong is hit by one of the judges meaning "get off the stage, you're done". It will premier July 17 on Comedy Central.
