He was the first morning man at CHUM-FM when it became rock, and it was Peter who first put David Haydu on the air in the mid 70's to create the Pete and Geets Show, which was the first FM morning show of its kind in Canada and set the tone for the rest of us. Pete and Geets came to CFNY in 1980 and the show ended in 1987.

79 Responses to "Peter Griffin Interview"Jason | GetYourOJ.com January 24, 2008 / 11:36 How nice. The opportunity to hear more about the good guys of radio.. I of course am of the H&F generation but love what people like Pete and Geets and David Marsden got to do at CFNY. Personalities and free form is the key, and it's on the web in droves. Maybe terrestrial radio can catch up. Thanks to ya both for making this update happen many many people out there will love hearing this Keene January 24, 2008 / 11:59 Thanks a million Fred. It was great hearing Pete again. I was going to U of Guelph when a buddy introduced me to CFNY back in 78 (?). James Edgar January 24, 2008 / 12:19 Thanks Fred Great to Hera Pete again. Makes me sad though. CFNY until the late 80's was really something special. Ivar Hamilton January 24, 2008 / 12:30 Loved the interview Fred. You should interview Jai next! bob noxious January 24, 2008 / 13:01 Thanks for doing this fred! Some great memories. I'll certainly never forget the Rafting weekend....Peter spent the whole trip home laying across 2 seats in that school bus. Cheers. Fred Ball January 24, 2008 / 13:08 You did good Freddie... hearing Peter's voice was wonderful, the man sounds exactly the same. As one of the few who was lucky enough to be a part of the people at CFNY during the Pete & Geets hayday, this interview brought up hundreds of great memories. From all of the Wankee trips to concerts and as mentioned the White Water Rafting. I recall a time staying at the Continental Hotel in Barrie (now it's a car dealer I think) and there was about 6 of us in Pete's room when the manager came to the door at 2:00am saying we were laughing too loud. Naturally that caused Pete to laugh louder and that was contagious as always and made matters worse. Other great memories were the Wankee baseball games... the road trips across the border to the Stone Jug Tavern and The Library were incredible. If you check this out Pete it was great to hear you, say hi to the family. Besides Pete, all those great times included the other regulars... you Freddie, Darren, Kevin, Ivar, Doug, Earl, they were great days. Now you should talk to Marsden Freddie... and maybe Live Earl Jive. Lemmon Sister January 24, 2008 / 15:44 Great Fred, ever think of putting some I Love Lucy rerunds up? Stafford January 24, 2008 / 15:56 Ignoring the post from the illiterate 16 year old above, great interview Fred. Buk January 24, 2008 / 17:18 So great to hear Pete again- I'd know that voice anywhere! Phil Evans January 24, 2008 / 19:26 Pete says of current radio "he doesn't hear anything." He's right in a sense. Radio programming now is purely linear - jump to the next thing and the next thing and the next. Pete and Geets had a show - it had a life of its own. While they were on, it was a show - like Letterman. Unique, and sorely missed. cragar77 January 24, 2008 / 22:28 Great interview Fred. CFNY was a 1 of a kind station. There hasn't been a morning show like Pete and Geets since '87. Dave Marsden was a great program director. Donny P. January 25, 2008 / 09:20 Fred, that was awesome! I loved to here Pete's voice again and his laugh. As you know, I listened to Pete and Geets for years at CHUM-FM and CFNY and this brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for using this new feature on your website in such a meaningful way. James Edgar January 25, 2008 / 10:10 Yes Fred Marsden next!! Adrian Bell January 26, 2008 / 08:54 Freddie - nicely done. Really a great thing hearing Pete again. He'll never remember me Great interview Frederick. Adrian Bell Too Long Ago January 30, 2008 / 22:24 Wanted to leave a pic of the days when Peter looked a little younger (as did we all), schmoozing with Journey at Exhibition Stadium. I'll never forget a wine-soaked dinner at an Italian restaurant with Pete, Geets, David Pritchard and others of the mid-70's CHUM FM days. Somewhere there exists a tape of that melee. Would love to get my hands on it! Barry Donnelly March 4, 2008 / 12:56 Fred; Thank you for bringing Pete back to the public and letting me know that he and his wife are still around! Paul April 23, 2008 / 22:05 Just caught up with your interview with Pete - and frankly - there's a guy you should talk into doing a weekly audio blog - if for no other reason that just to keep all his addicts sated. Get out of the garden Pete - and back onto the Empire of the Air. Well done Fred Chris October 25, 2008 / 20:45 Great to listen to the interview with Pete Griffin again... Fred that was a great idea to invite Pete! Keep up the great work! taignirlnak November 18, 2008 / 02:46 Actions speak louder than words :) Uttestskerb November 21, 2008 / 14:33

HEEL LIFTS January 5, 2010 / 04:19 Hi there, cheers for a excellent post, a really great beginning for the 2010, keep up the great work, Brenda. Peter T January 5, 2010 / 18:49 I remember Peter when Chum FM changed from Classical (broke my parents hearts) to R&R. I knew people with connections and had direct line to DJ phone #.... I became quite friendly with Peter because i'd phone up and ask for something that was out there, I remember him playing the whole first Soft Machine album... guess he got half an hour off for a smoke on the roof cause he used my real name after it was over, which i'd asked him not to... also, I was at the Moody Blues/Humble Pie gig doing sound and dragged Jerry Shirley and Frampton up to 1331 for an interview, we got back to Massey Hall before the end of the Moody's and nobody noticed I was "out of position" bad me!

Tod Settlemires August 6, 2010 / 13:58 This sentence contains a provocative statement that attracts the readers’ attention, but really only has very little to do with the topic of the blog post. This sentence claims to follow logically from the first sentence, though the connection is actually rather tenuous. This sentence claims that very few people are willing to admit the obvious inference of the last two sentences, with an implication that the reader is not one of those very few people. This sentence expresses the unwillingness of the writer to be silenced despite going against the popular wisdom. This sentence is a sort of drum roll, preparing the reader for the shocking truth to be contained in the next sentence. e-cigs August 7, 2010 / 20:59 Keep up the wonderful work, I have subscribed to your website. e-cig free trial August 7, 2010 / 23:36 Carry on the good work, I have subscribed to your blog. wow gold August 8, 2010 / 20:04 good，good wow gold August 8, 2010 / 20:05 I like your website hypotheek August 8, 2010 / 22:43 Bereken zelf uw hypotheek.
