Karl Krug - "tall, silvery-thatched Charles Krug, a scholarly and resourceful theologian and man-of-all-parts. A graduate of Emmanuel College, Toronto, Mr. Krug preached for a time in a Bloor Street United Church, later taught philosophy and psychology in Mount Allison University. During World War II he by-passed the Chaplaincy for a job in Canadian army intelligence officer with the joint chiefs of staff in Washington. After the war, plain "Karl" Krug-as he likes to be known in the radio-TV world-did a stint at Ottawa in the service of the government; but when his health began to slip, moved to tiny Chesley, Ontario and talked nearby CKNX into letting him conduct a daily, off-the-cuff news analysis programme over its airwaves. With his experience in wartime Washington to back him up, Krug's two o'clock-in-the-afternoon programme became a local hit - despite the hour. - he became the programme director of Sing Time.

John Strong - in 1962 he was the news director. (WAT-6, 1962)

John Strong - When I came to CKNX in 1949, John Strong was already well established as news editor, having arriving about a year previously from his home town in Brantford where he had gained his early broadcasting experience. For many years, John Strong, with his clear, concise delivery, his good diction and his authoritative style was an outstanding performer on CKNX radio and then into TV. John built up a network of local correspondents in centers all across western Ontario, people who were paid by the item, and who phoned in their stories, as they happened .. John had an excellent working relationship with Merrill Cantelon of Wingham, the London Free Press bureau man, and stories were quietly exchanged day by day. No station in all of Ontario had a news service as extensive, as close to the ground, and as authoritative and responsible as CKNX radio and that state of excellence was duplicated in the visual form when CKNX-TV and CKNX-FM were born.
