"David Marsden, the man who built the original CFNY and guided the station through its Spirit of Radio years, has died. He was 85.

David suffered a fall about a week ago and apparently died from some underlying injuries.

David Marsden was one of radio’s most influential program directors. When he assumed the role of PD at CFNY in 1979, he turned a struggling album rock station broadcasting from a little yellow house in Brampton using an underpowered transmitter into a cultural juggernaut whose impact is still being felt."
