I became a fan of Jim JJ Johnston in the 70’ & 80’. CFGO CFTR 92 CITI FM
Jim got into the management with some very big and successful broadcast companies in Vancouver and then Toronto the good. I’ve used JJ’s company within the last year and couldn’t be happier.
Having JJ on your team is strongly advised. Couldn’t be happier
Hi Tim – Sorry for the long delay – good grief hard to believe how quickly time flew this past year – and it wasn’t because it was so fun LOL.
Thanks for your comment for JJ – I will copy/paste & send to him. We were lucky to have him as a guest contributor for our #MusicMatters column.
Best.
