He's a broadcasting veteran and now he's got another honour - Dave Mostoway, aka Duff Roman, has been named as one of the recipients of the Order of Canada. (I found it hilarious that the official government list shows his name as "Duff David Mostoway Roman of Niagara-on-the-Lake.")

It's a well-deserved plaudit. Roman was instrumental in CHUM's success, and he also spent time at CKFH, as well as starting his own record company that boosted Canadian artists long before there were any CanCon rules. So congrats to this broadcasting veteran. It's long overdue!

Duff isn't the only radio/TV guy to get into this exclusive club. The CBC's Bob McKeown, co-host of the "The Fifth Estate," is also now made to Order. An article on the CBC's website reveals something I never knew, since I don't really follow football. Before he went into broadcasting, he won a Grey Cup as a centre for the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1973. Talk about a huge career change! At 71, he's still on the air doing the show every week. Pretty amazing.
