It's a pivotal year in the history of Canadian television — it's the year Much Music was born. In this episode of Chatter that Matters, we look at its fascinating journey and Canadian content that competed with the best in the world.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; color: black;"> Much Music was one of the first Canadian specialty channels; this ground-breaking concept emerged from the vision of two trailblazing individuals, Moses Znaimer and John Martin. Against all odds, with limited resources but boundless creativity, they created a cultural phenomenon that captured Canadians' hearts and took on the mighty MTV.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; color: black;"> I recorded the show at 299 Queen Street West, where it all came together, and sat down with two of Much Music's iconic VJs, Erica Ehm and Rick Campanelli. Erica takes listeners on a nostalgic journey as she recounts the early days, what it was like to interview legendary figures such as Kurt Cobain, and how what she learned there enabled her to become a successful entrepreneur. Meanwhile, Rick shares his remarkable journey of securing his dream job through a contest and turning that win into his phenomenal broadcasting career.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; color: black;"
