Doug Pringle: The DJ who dropped the needle on CHOM | Montreal Gazette

To reference a Bob Dylan song, it was a simple twist of fate that brought Doug Pringle to Montreal more than 50 years ago and led the young, long-haired rock fan to create CHOM, one of Canada’s trail-blazing free-form FM stations.Pringle — who was born to British parents in India — had moved to the United States in 1967, but by the following year he decided to head back to England. He found the cheapest way to get back across the pond was by boat, and it turned out the boat he was booked on left from Montreal.
