Montreal TV Icon Dies At 85

He wasn't a household name in Southern Ontario, but those who watched CFCF-TV are certainly familiar with Don McGowan. The longtime weatherman was a major personality in the days when little of it came through on a nightly newscast. He was also fronted several other local TV shows, and worked at the station for 36 years. He was 85.

Former CTV Montreal icon Don McGowan has died at 85

Had the pleasure of watching and working with Don McGowan. The same friendly great guy on and off the screen. Condolences to his family.

Sad news.
Probably more recognized in this market for his Travel Travel TV show which ran on CFTO for ages.
