Stan’s Last Ride — A legend retires
I WAS BORN A NEWS JUNKIE with an innate love for radio and TV.
(suggested listening while you read: ‘The Ascent of Stan’ by Ben Folds)
Growing up it wasn’t unusual to hear different local radio stations playing simultaneously in various rooms of our house during the newshour in addition to CFJC TV blasting in the background, so it’s difficult to describe exactly how I felt when I joined the staff at Broadcast Centre six years ago.
My first day working at the station was also the first time I toured the building and met the faces and voices that I had grown up with; it was surreal to realize that I would now be their coworker.
