Review: CFNY: The Spirit of Radio
The first thing that separates CFNY: The Spirit of Radio from documentaries on other legendary rock stations is that, unlike WLIR Long Island, N.Y., or KLOL Houston, CFNY (The Edge) Toronto is still there to promote it, and still an Alternative station. That’s why last week afternoon host Drex was talking excitedly about having seen a screening the night before and brought it up several times during the course of the hour.
