His name is Jack Miller and while those in the GTA may not know him, he's been a fixture in the Belleville area for half a century, most famously for broadcasting the OHL's Belleville Bulls. He's also frequently been heard as an analyst for the Ottawa Senators. 

Not that it's always been easy coordinating it all.

"As an example, Jack says one year he had an Ottawa Senators radio broadcast in Florida on a Friday night and the next day on Saturday he had an OHL Game of the Week broadcast to do in Belleville.  Game time was 2 o’clock.

“I had to fly to Florida from Toronto for the Friday night game and the only flight that would get me back for the OHL Game of the Week left Florida at 3 a.m.   So I had to run from the arena to the airport in Florida, get on the plane and it landed in Montreal, but at the more remote airport.  

So when I got off in Montreal I had to take an $80 cab ride to the other airport to take a plane to Toronto.  I couldn’t make it to the TV production meeting at 10 that morning but I got home, cleaned up and got to the rink by noon and was on air at 2.”

This day 50 years ago marks the beginning of a remarkable broadcast career
