TORONTO — Radio broadcaster Bob Mackowycz Sr., whose visionary programming injected a certain artistic flair into Toronto's cultural scene, has died.Mackowycz began his radio career at Toronto rock and roll station Q107 during its first broadcast year in 1977; he would later move into sports programming at the city's the Fan 590 .
When Mackowycz joined Q107, he strived to be both. It helped that he was working within a formative period of Toronto's media landscape as Citytv experimented with new ideas. Mackowycz left Q107 in 1987 for a job as special projects co-ordinator at Standard Broadcasting. His other roles included leadership positions at Toronto's CFRB-AM and the Fan 590 , where he found a creative solution to at least one enormous problem.
Some musicians joined their case, Bray said, including Jeff Healey, who appeared before the CRTC to support the idea.
