The Duker's Got You Covered!
That was the phrase that most of us identify with “Big Bob Stoehr” aka “Duke Roberts”, who began his second run at CHUM (he'd been “Gary Duke” in the late 60's) in 1973. Duke was from Scranton, PA, I believe his family owned some furniture stores there. He brought with him an impressive resume which included some of the premiere stations in some of the top markets of the day. Stations like WIBG in Philly, CKLW in Detroit, KFRC, San Francisco and many others. He had a BIG voice, and was considered quite a catch when Bob Wood convinced him to return to CHUM. Even with the track record he brought to the station, he fit into “The family” like a glove. No ego issues with this guy, he was one of the gang from day one!
