 Peter Gzowski: Voice of Canada |
|||
  
|
|||
For three hours a day, five days a week – for 15 years – millions tuned in to CBC Radio's Morningside and Peter Gzowski. Despite Gzowski's dishevelled appearance – sweaters with cigarette burns, big glasses and pockmarked skin – this beloved radio host cast his folksy charm across the country. When Gzowski died in 2002, Canadians paid tribute to the broadcaster whose stammering informality and comforting voice had become a symbol for Canada. |
