When he first stepped behind the microphone, Dwight Eisenhower was the US President, the St. Lawrence Seaway had just opened, and hockey’s Jacques Plante becomes the first goalie to wear a protective face mask. Astral Media has cut 23 jobs from their English-radio division in the past week, among them Toronto’s CFRB-AM (1010) newsman Tayler Parnaby. Parnaby had been CFRB’s chief correspondent since 1988, and covered high-profile news outside of Toronto, including the September 11 attacks in New York, the 2005 tsunami in Southeast Asia, and the O.J. Simpson trial in Los Angeles. Parnaby had been in semi-retirement for just over a year. In response to his dismissal, Parnaby tells the Toronto Star newspaper, “This sort of thing happens in radio all the time.”
