Last year it Sam the Record Man.  This year it was the Funland Arcade.  Next year, will it be CHUM?

The Globe & Mail is reporting that the landmark building that has housed the AM station since the birth of rock’n’roll in the 1950’shas been sold to condominium developer Aspen Ridge Homes for $21 million.

There’s no word yet if Aspen Ridge intends to tear the building down and build brand new or somehow incorporate the original building into the design The tear down option is certainly most likely, but only time will tell.

It looks like the broadcast booth for 1050 on your AM dial will have to find a new home sooner rather than later.  Let’s just hope they find a good home for the sign.
