An Update On The Life & Times Of Toronto Sportscaster Chris Mayberry

The former sportscaster is retired now, but has some great memories of his days in broadcasting. He goes over them with John Best, the former news director of CHCH-TV. (Don't let the article's headline fool you - this is more about the great Mayberry than Joe Bowen!)

Had the pleasure of working with Maybo at Key 590, you would be pretty hard pressed to find a more upstanding and all around nice person.

Indeed, a class act. He used to be a regular contributor here, but hasn't posted in a while. You're welcome back anytime, Chris!

It's great to hear that Maybo is doing well. I worked with him for many years at BN/CP and he was always a joy to be around.

RA, Pinto & Tq345, thanks so very much for the kind words.  I’m humbled!  Retirement is enjoyable and I still get to dabble in volunteer radio here in Stouffville.

John Best was an excellent broadcast journalist in London, Montreal and Hamilton.  He’s a cherished friend and his newspaper is always an excellent read.  😊

I chatted with Chris Mayberry for almost 90 minutes about his life in radio.

As another former co-worker of Chris at BN (and apparently of Tq345 also -- I remember what that refers to) I can vouch for Chris fully deserving all of these tributes and kind words.
