Paul Is Dead Retrospective Is Aired

Located in Brampton , Ontario , CFNY-FM becomes the first radio station ever to re-broadcast the "Paul Is Dead" hoax that was created by WKNR. The show is hosted by DJ Dave Marsden who interviews John Small, former WKNR radio personality and who was one of the three DJ's at WKNR who had directly participated in the hoax. The Marsden program not only provided highlights from the actual WKNR on-air broadcast, but also insights from John Small on how they went about putting together the various clues for radio listeners.
