Veteran Kitchener & London Broadcaster Passes At 78

His name was Jim Craig and according to an obit in Broadcast Dialogue, he squeezed a lot into his professional career. He worked at CKCB Collingwood, CJOY in Guelph, CKKW and CHYM in Kitchener and even hosted the local version of "Bowling for Dollars" on CKCO-TV.

He also spent time on air at CJBK and CKSL, as well at CFPL-TV in London, worked at the CBC and taught at Fanshawe, Conestoga and Seneca Colleges. 

You wonder where he found the time. Sadly, he ran out of it and passed away at 78.

A true gentleman. Honoured to have taught and worked with this stand up broadcaster. RIP Jim

Jim hired the original on-air staff and others at Wave Smooth Jazz 94.7 in Hamilton. He loved what he did and the people he did it with.

Jim had the gift of the gab, a true Irishman and a true gentleman. I worked with him in London and at Seneca and always enjoyed his company...and his stories!
