CKO Radio

Paul Horsman and Roland Schwaldt at the end of CKO I, March 1986.

A recording session in November 1991: Roland, Paul, and Ken Eckert.

CKO Radio was the name of an imaginary radio station that my friend Paul Horsman invented in 1983 when we were grade 10 students in Edmonton at Concordia High School. Paul and Roland Schwaldt began writing and recording short skits for CKO with a tape deck and a record player. I joined later on, and over the next two years an album of comedy shorts took shape. In 1989 we began a second album, now equipped with multi-track tape recorders and sampling keyboards. I eventually become the recording engineer and some of the skits became pretty complex.

Some of these radio spots have been played on campus radio. As some of them use bits of copyright music in the background, I can't do much with them commercially at present, but you're welcome to listen to a few clips for fun.



There are no obscenities in these recordings, but the subject matter isn't suitable for children.
