The Real Roy Hennessy
The second Program Director and the first General Manager I reported to was Roy Hennessy. He was my PD at CHED Edmonton and he gave me my first PD job at CITI Winnipeg. To say Roy was fun to work with is an inadequate description. Radio was no different than Hollywood with Roy. His people…
