I first heard Alan Cross when backpacking in Canada over twelve years ago. I moved here chasing the dream of rock radio and up until mid-2020, I worked at The Zone @ 91-3 in Victoria. During my ten years there Alan and I crossed paths a couple of times, and he became an ally in my lust to grow as a broadcaster. Now I'm independent, I had to pick his brain over his practice and successful career.
Alan Cross has been in Canadian broadcasting for 40 years this year.
"In October 1980, I got my start at CKUW at the University of Winnipeg, which, at the time, was a closed-circuit station. Our broadcast range was limited to one hallway and one cafeteria."
