By the way, Vancouver Co-operative Radio is not merely our "brand name", as implied in the first comment from Bearcat above. It is our only official name. CFRO is not our name, they are our call letters. Korky Day ( talk) 22:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
from http://www.edleemusic.com/ourdjs/ourdjs_maximus.html:
Maximus Clean is known in Vancouver as being a pioneer in bringing Hip-Hop culture to the masses in a professional and ethical way. He began his career in community radio and has since been involved in production and programming for CFRO 102.7 in Vancouver. He has also been a radio personality on CJIV 93.9FM in Burnaby and KCMU 90.3FM in Seattle. Maximus' notoriety has lead him and his protégés "The Angels" to be asked to host many major concerts including Jay Z, Too $hort, Ice Cube, Redman & Method Man, 112, Jesse Powell, Biz Markie, Allure, DMX, Lost Boyz, Grandmaster Flash, MC Lyte, Horace Brown, Run DMC and Case to name a few. It is rare to find an individual as gifted on the turntables as he is on the microphone and Maximus is just such a talent.
I remember listening to this DJ on CFRO for years back in the mid-90s all night on Monday nights, followed by the Crispy Biscuit mix show on Tuesdays playing more underground type hiphop. Back then this was pretty much the only station playing hardcore hiphop and rap in Metro Vancouver and this DJ got fairly popular because of it. Don't know what happened to him now though. Anyways, probably not notable enough to warrant his own article but maybe there could be mention of him or his show somewhere in this article. OlEnglish ( talk) 01:39, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
