Brian Williams On Radio, Olympics, And Who Mc'd His Wedding Reception

Bill Brioux has some really great podcasts on his Brioux.tv site.  He recently interviewed  sportscast legend Brian Williams, who retired just last week.  Some interesting sports and broadcast stories, tracing Williams radio and TV career.  From his early days at CHUM to why he chose to retire now. Well worth the time to listen...from Brioux.tv..https://brioux.tv/blog/2021/12/16/this-week-on-brioux-tv-the-podcast-retiring-sports-broadcaster-brian-williams/

Brian used to be my newsman in the early 70s at CHUM-FM.

Sounds like CHUM was his first real radio job.  Not bad to start your career at the top.  He mentions  Dick Smyth every interview I have seen and heard him do regarding his retirement.  Liked his story about CKLW and going to school in Michigan from the podcast as well.
