Barbara Peacock
Barb worked at CBC Radio in Toronto in the late 70's and then at CBC Radio in Regina. She's not alone in her attraction to Windsor's long, hot summers and very mild, "Carolinian" winters (the snow rarely stays longer than a few days). But, the weather isn't the only thing keeping her in Windsor. As Barb says, she really appreciates "the chances" she's given.
She's hosted virtually every radio and TV program at CBC Windsor...Supperhour and late night TV news, and the Morning Show on radio in the mid-80's before settling in as the host of Crosstown. Barb has also worked as a radio newsreader and even done a few stints as sportscaster.
Barb originally came to CBC Windsor as an agricultural reporter and host of Radio Noon, the same job she held in Toronto and Regina. Barb didn't get into this business the "normal way". She spent her university days, not in Journalism, but in the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture program at Guelph University.
In her personal life Barb considers herself a dabbler. She dabbles in gourmet cooking, birdwatching, gardening, sketching and watercolours, and photography. She's been a volunteer with Big Sisters for twenty years, and during that time has had four "little sisters". Barb is married to Lee Rabideau.
