Terry David Mulligan is a one-man industry. Most of us know him from his years as a TV broadcaster with CHUM/Citytv. Those outside Edmonton's radio airwaves wouldn't know that his lifelong passion for radio (Mully was a DJ and program director in Vancouver for years) is indulged on a local cooperative radio station, CKUA. I'm told by a Edmontonian pal that the Mulligan Stew program is very good indeed.
Now TDM is combining radio with his other passion: wine. Tasting Room Radio is available for download as an MP3, or heard live at 10am PST from AM1150 Kelowna. It's a great way to get to know some of BC's wine personalities.
