A former employee of CTV Kitchener has found a few memories buried in the walls of our old home at 864 King Street West.
Phil Molto worked in a number of behind-the-scenes roles at CKCO, later renamed CTV Kitchener, between 1986 and 2015. He remembers stashing something in the wall of an old control room during renovations in 1990.
“It’s funny, in TV, stuff just comes to you in the spur of the moment in the control room, in the newsroom,” Molto recalled. “I was doing my paperwork, finishing up, I thought, wait a minute, they’re doing another renovation. I’ve got to stick this in the wall so at some point in the future someone’s going to see it and say: ‘Wow, look at that. They used paperwork back in 1990!’”
