MORE INFO ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE-

John Franklin Candy (October 31, 1950 – March 4, 1994) was a Canadian actor and comedian, mainly in American films such as Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) and Uncle Buck (1989).

Candy rose to fame as a member of the Toronto branch of the Second City and its related Second City Television series, and through his appearances in such comedy films as Stripes, Splash, Cool Runnings, Summer Rental, The Great Outdoors, Spaceballs and Uncle Buck, as well as more dramatic roles in Only the Lonely and JFK. One of his most renowned onscreen performances was as Del Griffith, the loquacious, on-the-move shower-curtain ring salesman in the John Hughes comedy Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

While filming the Western parody Wagons East!, Candy died of a heart attack in Durango, Mexico, on March 4, 1994, aged 43. His final two films, Wagons East! and Canadian Bacon, are dedicated to his memory.

Transtar was the first radio network to provide 24-hour music programming to local affiliates. The slate of 24-hour networks is now owned by Westwood One and operated by Dial Global. The studios are located in Valencia, California.

History

Transtar was founded in 1981 by C. Terry Robinson. The network debuted at around the same time as the Satellite Music Network, based in Mokena, Illinois. Both companies marketed themselves to prospective affiliates by offering carefully selected music presented by major market talent of high quality that a local station could never afford, as well as the capability of using existing studio equipment like reel-to-reel tape decks and cartridge playback machines to help make an affordable transition. A station signing up for the service would likely need a satellite antenna and receiver, a 25 Hz tone generator to place at the end of commercial clusters at the end of a break recorded on the reel, and 25/35 Hz tone sensors to trigger local liners and station identification. The network communicated with affiliates by using a computer printer (most likely in the studio) that would keep local programming staff informed of announcer changes, closed circuit feeds, and other vital information.

While Satellite Music Network had more affiliates, Transtar offered one major advantage over SMN...a digital cue system. This was especially important among potential affiliates that were FM stations. The digital cue system allowed the network to cue tape machines at the local affiliate station with external data channels sent on a separate digital subcarrier. SMN, on the other hand, cued stations using a subaudible tone on the program feed as it was aired live, but eliminated them from being heard by listeners through filtering out the lower end of the audio signal. While the difference in audio would be negligible at worst on an AM affiliate, it was particularly obvious on an FM station subscribing to the service when a bass line heard on a particular favorite song was now found to be missing.

An engineer at the receiving station could tweak the lower end of the signal by making adjustments on the station's audio processing, allowing the missing bass line to be heard, but then the subaudible cues would, as a result, be fully audible over the air. Transtar used this as a sales tool when marketing their service to prospective affiliates, while often charging inventory on top of a monthly subscription fee, feeling that prospective affiliates would be willing to pay more for a higher quality service. On the downside, announcer shifts, because they originated on the West Coast, all began and ended in the Pacific Time Zone, which made it difficult for East Coast-based affiliates to successfully market individual announcer dayparts, particularly during the morning. This would change years later, when announcer start times were adjusted to favor Eastern and Central Time zones.

In 1989, the company merged with the United Stations Radio Network (which had already bought the RKO Radio Networks in 1985). The new company was named Unistar. That entity, in turn, was bought by Westwood One in 1993.  The music networks were run as a self-branded division of Westwood One until 2006, when the agreement with Dial Global began.

HERE'S SOME REVIEWS OF THE SHOW FROM BACK WHEN IT FIRST AIRED IN 1989 FROM TWO NEWSPAPERS.

L.A. TIMES

'Radio Kandy' Sweet on the 'SCTV' Theme

"SCTV," the too-short series of comedy nuggets that went into rerun heaven more than five years ago, will have something of a radio reincarnation beginning Sunday with the advent of "Radio Kandy."

"I don't think it will be a carbon copy of 'SCTV,' " comedy film star, Second City TV alumnus and "Radio Kandy" founder John Candy said this week. "Legally, I couldn't do that. But the whole cast (of 'SCTV') will probably be through here from time to time."

To begin with, one of the regular characters in Candy's two-hour rock and comedy program (airing locally from 8 to 10 a.m. over KNX-FM (93.1)) will be SCTV Network President Guy Caballero (Joe Flaherty).

"Yeah, Guy is with us. He owns 'Radio Kandy' just like he owned 'SCTV,' " said Candy. "Of course, we don't know how long he'll last. I mean, the Count (another Flaherty character who used to host a chintzy horror-film show) might come in and take over at any time. You just can't tell."Flaherty also will portray a used car salesman, Joe Hanky, on the program. Hanky, a sponsor of Radio Kandy, gets to deliver sports scores ("Boston, 6; Tustin, 41; Green Bay, 112") and traffic reports ("There's a lot of traffic on the 702").

Another regular "Radio Kandy" feature will be "Tiffany's Teen Talk," with advice on adolescent social problems delivered to callers by teen idol Tiffany (played by Second City comedienne Valerie Bromfield):

"Hi. This is 'Teen Talk.' Are you ugly? I don't want to talk to you if you're ugly."

Candy's real-life sponsors include Purina Puppy Chow, Maybelline and Snickers, he said. The program, distributed over the Transtar Satellite Network, will be heard on more than 225 stations in addition to KNX-FM. Candy said he has contracted for a weekly run of at least 18 months, despite his other film and television commitments.

Candy, who is currently shooting "Uncle Buck" on location in Chicago, has had a prolific film career since the disbanding of "SCTV," with a string of hits ("Planes, Trains and Automobiles," "Stripes") and misses ("Spaceballs," "Armed and Dangerous").

Despite his movie success, he said, "radio has always intrigued me. I love the medium and, since I can't play an instrument, I can at least play records."

This isn't his first foray into radio.

"Two years ago I did 'That Radio Show' for about 100 stations in Canada," he said. "They were 90-minute shows that ran weekly through the summer--kind of an oldies rock-and-roll and comedy show."

After having that taste of being a deejay, Candy decided last summer to sign on for a U.S. stint.

As for music, "Radio Kandy" will have a kind of mongrel Top 40 countdown format, according to Candy.

"We're trying to find a format suitable for Top 10 stuff with maybe a little '70s music," he said. "We probably won't go back too much farther than that."

Guests Candy says he has scheduled for the inaugural show include voice-over artist June Foray, the voice of Rocky the Squirrel, and James Doohan, who portrayed the original Scotty on "Star Trek."

"We're getting a lot of good voice people who'll be coming on in the next few weeks," he said. Though Ed (Martin Short) Grimley, the MacKenzie brothers (Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis) and Edith (Andrea Martin) Prickly have not yet scheduled dates to visit "Radio Kandy," Candy guarantees that the Smenga Brothers polka band will be on the air soon.

"We thought about going with that format actually--all-polka radio," he said.

In the meantime, Candy's cast promises to deliver informative interviews with such luminaries as Slim Whitman; Whitman's mustache barber, Phil, and Bobbi Ronnette, one of the back-up singers in the '60s girl group the Ronnettes. There will also be reports on recent Elvis sightings and U.S.-Soviet cultural exchanges, including a Soviet Top 40 countdown.

"As the Smenga brothers say, 'It's-a gonna be-a fun, ya, sure,' " said Candy.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Candy Man Strikes Again

Former `Sctv` Veteran Invades The Airwaves With-what Else?-humor

One is jolted when one first hears it and even while listening to it one is not quite sure what to make of it.

Come in at some odd moment during its two-hour run and you might encounter a commercial for ``Rocky V: Rocky vs Bullwinkle``; a guess-that-song contest based on one note; nationwide traffic reports delivered by Commander Wes Steel, who flies a B-52 and fires on stalled cars; Tiffany giving advice to troubled teens, but only if they aren`t ``ugly``; or sumo wrestling theater.

Come in at another moment, however, and you might find songs from Toto, Billy Joel, Phil Collins, Huey Lewis or any other heavy crossover artists.

It`s all one show, an unusual blend of comedy and music called ``Radio Kandy,`` and from what I`ve heard in the last couple of weeks (at 1 p.m. Sundays on WLUP-AM 1000) it`s got the stuff to be one of radio`s most adventurous shows.

Here`s the deal: Heavyweight comedian John Candy is in control of a make- believe 10,000-watt station that is capable of ``jamming any frequency in the Free World.``

If one immediately notices similarities between this format and that of

``Second City TV,`` it is not a mistake. Just as that television program created an imaginary TV network to parody it, so does ``Radio Kandy`` poke at radio, with a cast that includes such ``SCTV`` vets as Candy, Joe Flaherty and Valerie Bromfield.

For a variety of reasons, the selling of ``Radio Kandy`` was not as easy as one might imagine. Never before had a syndicated comedy show been offered. There was some skepticism that Candy`s comedy could translate to radio and worries that other jocks might feel animosity toward a movie star invading their turf.

But with typical restraint, the show`s distributor, Transtar Radio Network, billed ``Radio Kandy`` as ``the most exciting syndicated radio show to hit the airwaves.`` On the power of a demo tape unveiled at September`s National Association of Broadcasters convention, 157 stations bought.

``We`re going to keep it light and fun,`` Candy told Billboard magazine.

``The idea is to have a few laughs, enjoy the two hours and have a good time. . . . Much like we did on `SCTV`-we don`t want to overkill anything.``

Candy is familiar with radio. Years ago, he did voice-over work in Canada, and it was at this time that he met Doug Thompson, the producer of

``Radio Kandy.`` This relationship led to a 90-minute Canadian special on the 30th anniversary of rock `n` roll, which eventually evolved into ``That Radio Show,`` a weekly show heard in 47 markets in Canada.

Candy sounds at home on the airwaves and the show is funny. But at this early stage-the show premiered this month-I am disappointed that it isn`t taking more risks. What it does-I am especially fond of some of its wacky``commercials``-it does quite well. But daring and innovative? Not yet.

``It is exciting. We are learning as we go. We will make mistakes and learn from them or not,`` Candy told the Los Angeles Times. ``Or maybe we`ll keep the mistakes.``

The show deserves time to develop. Its humor flies in the face of some of the more aggressive, assaultive voices on the air. Though ``Radio Kandy`` is basically a music show, that music is driven by humor and Candy is a lot funnier on the air than he has been in his recent films. Maybe, just maybe, radio is where he belongs.
