He also worked for its television sister station CKSA-TV and at live shows around the area. After a stint at CKRD in Red Deer, also in Alberta, and on CKRD-TV, Lorne set off on his travels to Europe and North Africa. He arrived in the UK at the end of 1966 and on 7th February 1967 joined Radio London. He presented his first show the next evening, sitting in for Mark Roman. His theme tune on Big L was Train To Nowhere by The Champs. Radio Caroline South's Steve Young says: “He was born Lorne Kassian and I first remember hearing him broadcasting on CKRD in Red Deer, AB (just south of Edmonton) in 1963, if memory serves me correctly.
