2XL turn 75 (hear Brad March as a jock)

2XL are celebrating their 75th birthday today.

Many memories are being shared on the station as well as on their Facebook page.

Some fast facts about the station…

• 2XL stood for 'to excel'
• Before aligning with the ski industry in the 70's they ran everything from horse racing, book reading sessions and radio serials
• Rumour has it, in a storm years ago their satellite dish came loose and blew down the street where one listener thought it was a UFO
• Ex announcers include Phil O'Neil (Ugly Phil) and Brad March (hear their interview with him below)

Here is some of the old studio equipment, an on-air desk and a cart carousel….
