Biographical history
Willie Anderson grew up in Victoria and came to Yukon in 1937. As a CBC radio announcer he became known as Wee Willie. When he first arrived in Dawson City he worked chopping wood and in the mines. When Dawson City started its own community radio station in 1940, Anderson became an announcer. He left the station to serve in the Army during the Second World War. He returned to Dawson after the war and stayed until 1958 when CBC took over the station and offered him a full time position in Whitehorse. He then launched his famous Western Round Up show. Willie Anderson died in 1985.
