Re: Lowell Green dead at 89
Whether you thought Lowell was a champion of common sense or just a cranky old guy who stayed on the air long past his prime, there’s no doubt he was a force in Ottawa AM radio. RIP Mr. Green.

An incredible 56 years on the air at the same station, CFRA. And he occasionally would appear on CFRB if memory serves. Quite a career and he made it to 89.

Yeah he was a cunthole. That is all.
His legacy will be lighter-in-the-loafers than Rush Limbaugh's - a blessing to the foliage growing above his plot, but a warning to currently relevant culture warriors - you will be forgotten, and all of your rage will amount to nothing.

He ran as an Ontario Liberal Party candidate for Ottawa Centre.

Re: Lowell Green dead at 89
I recall him being on CFRB also. He had commentary posts on Facebook up until last week. I never paid much attention to him so I do not share the extreme view of a couple posts above. RIP.

You seem nice. 🙄
I keep wondering why I quit this board every so often, only to get lured back in again. Weakness, I guess.

I, for one, value your presence and contributions here and hope you won't let one disagreeable post drive you away.

I think Lowell worked at CKOY for a couple of years.

He did, Ale Ont. I worked with him for a couple of years there in the early 1980s.

They also moved his show to CFMO-FM for a while to help fill the easy listening station's talk requirement.

Thanks, RA. But using a term like that to describe a recently deceased radio veteran is extremely disagreeable.

Re: Lowell Green dead at 89
Here is the presentation video used when RTDNA presented Lowell with a Lifetime Achievement Award back in 2006. It includes a comical acknowledgement from then Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty.
