From the RadioWest aircheck archives -

It's Russ McCloud on Vancouver's 14 CFUN in May 1984, with Lisa Whitmore updating the news.

CFUN completed its transition from Top 40 to its Lite Rock, Less Talk format on December 29, 1984.

Russ moved to sister station 1050 CHUM Toronto including a stint as the host of the nationally syndicated Canadian Countdown show.

From Gord Lansdell's Vancouver Broadcasters site here's more about Russ' radio career - CKPG Prince George and CKOV Kelowna early-mid 1970s; CFUN Vancouver 1976-84; CHUM Toronto 1984-2001; middays CINW Montreal 2008-10 (http://www.vancouverbroadcasters.com)

Russ, a dear and dearly missed friend, has kept the lowest of profiles in recent years. Last I heard as an update many years back now, he was residing in Calgary, doing what I don’t know; not radio.
Newsreader Lisa Whitmore was a recent BCIT grad at CFUN at this time in 1984. She later anchored for Global TV in Toronto for a couple of years in 89/90, then returned to the left coast to open a wine making and sales business in Comox.
She’s a happy story; the business is still successful at 25 years and Lisa herself just remarried this past fall.

“Too Loud McCloud!” during his boss jock days. Great pipes.
