Our final 620 CKRM Icon is James Allyn. For almost two decades, “Jim” broadcast Morning News on CKRM and Evening News on CKCK-TV.
His daughter, Bobbi Allyn, talks about his early life, how he started his career, and the journey it took him on.
She reflects on the family man and memorable summer vacations. Bobbi also talks about the importance he placed on accuracy and integrity, which led to coverage beyond broadcasting.
Join us in celebrating another one of Saskatchewan broadcasting’s true icons.
