David Marsden
David Marsden is a Canadian radio broadcaster. As the driving force behind Brampton, Ontario radio station CFNY in the 1980s, he became an influential figure in the Canadian music industry by giving many Canadian and international alternative rock artists major Canadian radio exposure. During his stint at CFNY, he was known as "The Mars Bar".
==Early career==
Under the name Dave Mickie, he was the original manager of The Revols, a Canadian rock band in the late 1950s whose most famous member, Richard Manuel, would later become part of The Band. He later became one of Canada's pioneering rock DJs on radio, joining Chatham's CFCO in 1963. Bored with the station's commercial easy listening music, he reportedly brought in some of his own records one night, breaking format and hosting in an uncharacteristically dynamic style. He was fired the next morning, but was quickly rehired after the station learned that his experiment had increased the station's ratings.〔(History of CFNY-FM )〕
He was later hired at CKEY in Toronto where he was called "the most controversial thing on Toronto radio."〔"Dave Mickie is back, may go on TV," ''Toronto Star'', September 20, 1963〕 He parted ways with CKEY after just five months. He became host of ''Music Hop'' on CBC Television in 1965, succeeding Alex Trebek. He also started writing a column for the ''Toronto Star'' in the same year. He was the subject of a chapter in Marshall McLuhan's book ''Understanding Media'', which lauded his unique hosting style:
That's Patty Baby and that's the girl with the dancing feet and that's Freddy Cannon there on the David Mickie Show in the night time ooohbah scuba-doo how are you booboo. Next we'll be Swinging on a Star and sssshhhwwoooo and sliding on a moonbeam. Waaaaa how about that . . . one of the goodest guys with you . . . this is lovable kissable D.M. in the p.m. at 22 minutes past nine o'clock there, aahhrightie, we're gonna have a Hitline, all you have to do is call WAlnut 5-1151, WAlnut 5-1151, tell them what number it is on the Hitline.〔Marshall McLuhan, ''Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man''.〕
The Dave Mickie name and persona were phased out in the mid-to-late 1960s, and as David Marsden, he joined Montreal's CKGM in 1967. In 1969, he moved to sister station, CKGM-FM. Marsden was instrumental in switching the station's format from beautiful music to free form progressive rock. In 1973, Marsden returned to Toronto with his new, completely different on-air persona at CHUM-FM. He left the station in February 1975 to devote more time to his radio commercial production company, but mainly because of the tight playlist CHUM-FM was making their DJs follow. Marsden refused to follow a playlist and left shortly after it was instituted. He eventually returned as an on-air personality at CHIC-FM shortly before it was transformed into CFNY.
