Rafe Mair and Bill Good are featured in this 27 year old TV commercial for CKNW, which is still on AM 980 and which Bill worked for up until his retirement recently. It's not as great as the commercial for the Province newspaper that we SHARED but it's a pretty cool look back on the history of media in our city.
This clip is one of many gems that V.I.A. reader Rob Richardson has dug up from his collection. The source is a vast archive of VHS tapes that he recorded himself or has managed to collect from thrift stores, flea markets, storage lockers, yard sales, contacts with people in other parts of Canada and the U.S., and anywhere he can manage. He's driven over to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Island and as far down as Olympia, Washington to rescue analogue goodness before they've wound up in the scrapper and we're happy to bring you a Vancouver-centric clip each week.
