My Mom and Dad moved us from Toronto to Edmonton in 1960 where Dad had taken a job with the new CTV-affiliated television station CFRN.

This also gave me the chance to try to reproduce some of the great aspects of live tv into live streaming. Here’s an example of one of our best live streams, with Harriet Frost and the Universal Band.
