Jim Lang: Live, Local and Social at The Region

Jim Lang is a renowned broadcaster who's worked all over Canada,
often covering sports. You probably know him best from either
Sportsnet Fan Radio 590, or his Toronto Argos coverage on AM 640.
In this episode, we work our way through his broadcast history,
from his humble beginnings as a radio intern all the way to his
coverage of events like the Superbowl.


If you're a sports fan, you'll love this one. Jim talks at length
about the most stand-out moments of his sports career- the
aftermath of Superbowl 42 and the ensuing chaos, the feeling of
living in Montreal while the Canadiens were on a Stanley Cup run,
and the privilege of becoming the radio voice of the Argos.


This is a great episode for radio buffs as well, as Jim shares
his story of moving from Halifax to Toronto and falling in love
with the radio offerings the city had. He shares the exact moment
he knew it was the career for him, the trepidation he felt the
first time he stepped inside a big-city radio control room, and
even some tips about making a voiceover sound punchier.


Nowadays, Jim hosts his own morning show on 105.9 The Region. You
can listen to him from Monday to Friday, 5:00am to 10:00am.
Hockey fans should also check out any of his 3 books, all
co-written with hockey legends:


Bleeding Blue with Wendel Clark, Shift Work with Tie Domi, and
Everyday Hockey Heroes with Bob Mackenzie.
