Tony Orr - The First Source for Local News

Morning news on radio has long been a staple of our work day.  We have long relied on local newscasters to get up in the middle of the night to write those stories to keep all of us informed.  Tony Orr moved to Kingston in 1977 to take up the morning shift at CKLC and Y98; 24 years later, he moved 'across the street' to a brand new operation that included KROCK and Country 93.5.  He was there for another 20 years.  There is more to Tony than just the news.  He got involved in his community, joining different groups - all with the goal of making his new home town a better place.  Over the past 40+ years, he has told many stories and shares some in this episode.

This episode was recorded virtually in February 2022. 

Our theme music is “Stasis Oasis”, by Tim Aylesworth
