Bob McADOREY,
Broadcaster: 1935-2005
Deejay who helped determine what Toronto's youth listened to
in the sixties went on to enjoy a 27-year run as a popular and
irreverent figure on Global television
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Wednesday, February
9, 2005 - Page S9
Toronto -- If you knew Peggy Sue, you knew Bob
McADOREY.
That's
because, with his pile of curly hair and horn-rimmed glasses,
the Toronto disc jockey was a ringer for Buddy Holly, the songwriter
and singer from Texas whose song was a hit in 1959. The two men
were born 10 months apart --
McADOREY in 1935, Holly in 1936
and actually met in the mid-1950s when Mr.
McADOREY was a
disc jockey in Guelph, Ontario, and the singer was on a tour
of Canada.
"His job was to introduce Buddy Holly at a concert at Kitchener.
When he went on stage, the crowd went wild, and Bob though 'Gee,
I didn't know I was this popular,' " remembered his sister Pat
RUSSELL. "Of course, they thought he was Buddy Holly."
For decades, Mr.
McADOREY was the entertainment commentator on
Global Television; he retired less than five years ago. But in
an earlier era, he was a household name in Southern Ontario.
In 1960, just a few months after Buddy Holly died in a plane
crash in 1959, his look-alike joined Toronto's
CHUM.
Almost overnight,
Bob McADOREY became the top disc jockey at
CHUM, the No. 1 rock
station in the country. He was astonished when the station paid
him what he was asking for -- $7,200 a year (about $50,000 in
today's money, according to the Bank of Canada's inflation calculator).
"Bob McADOREY, whose face is as well known in Toronto as Mayor
Givens, has the most power to dictate what pop music Ontario
teens listen to," wrote the Toronto Telegram in 1966.
Not only was he the on-air man in the key 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. slot,
he was also the music director. He chose the records the other
six disc jockeys played. He and the other disc jockeys decided
on CHUM's
Top 10, which sent kids to record stores to buy records
with a big hole in the middle and a song on each side. They spun
at 45 revolutions a minute and were called 45s.
"He alone commands what goes on the hit parade in Canada," wrote
The
Globe's
Blake
KIRBY in 1968. "Middle-aged squares who run
record stores use the
CHUM chart, the weekly list of what
McADOREY
is playing and plugging as a buying guide."
Along the way, he shared the footlights with such big-name visitors
as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
The CHUM hit parade made records such as The Unicorn by the Irish
Rovers. Mr.
McADOREY, a sentimental Irish-Canadian, pushed the
record, which sold 140,000 copies in Canada and a million in
the United States. But he didn't like everything on the
CHUM
chart. It was a business, after all.
"We're playing records here which I just can't bear to listen
to, but I wouldn't let that influence what goes on the air,"
Mr. McADOREY once told The Globe and Mail. His sister said that
when he went home after work, he was so sick of rock 'n' roll
that he put earphones on and listened to classical music.
Like many successful big-city disc jockeys, Mr.
McADOREY also
ran dances on the weekends -- events with such names as Bob McAdorey's
Canadian Bandstand or Canadian Hopville. He and a couple of other
disc jockeys owned a company called Teen Scene Ltd., which put
on dances in towns all over Southern Ontario.
After a long spell on
CHUM,
Bob
McADOREY either was too old --
he was well into his 30s -- or too tired, and so he suddenly
found himself fired. Unlike the regular corporate world, where
people resign, in radio they are just plain sacked. Disc jockeys
almost wear it as a badge of honour.
"There are no hard feelings," he told an entertainment writer
in 1972 after he had been sacked from
CFTR following a stint
at CFGM. "I was told that it was either the station's new music-and-contests
format or me." Within days, he had rejoined radio station
CFGM.
A few years later, he morphed into television. No one told him
that radio types, from the hot side of the Marshall McLuhan equation,
are not supposed to be able to make the switch to the cool world
of television. He perched on his stool in 1973 and performed
for about 27 years.
Bob McADOREY was born within earshot of the Niagara Falls. His
father worked as a machinist on the railway and the whole family
lived near both the tracks and the roundhouse at Niagara Falls,
Ontario
For the rest of his life, Mr.
McADOREY maintained a love
affair with trains and rode them at every opportunity.
He went to high school at Stamford Collegiate. An Irish Catholic,
he was one of two non-Protestants in the class. The other was
Barbara FRUM, later the host of The Journal and
As It Happens
on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The two would spend the
religious class in another room, enjoying their time off.
In Grade 12, Mr.
McADOREY started work at the local radio station,
doing a program in the early morning before class. "One day,
the station manager told me to go on air and do the play-by-play
of a local baseball game," he told the Toronto Star in 2000.
"I didn't know the players' names and I didn't know much about
baseball, so I sat in the bleachers and interviewed the spectators
and it seemed to work."
After that, he was hooked. For a time, he worked all over --
including radio station
CJDC in remote Dawson's Creek, British
Columbia
Even then, he was fairly outrageous. "
CJDC had access
to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation feeds," he said in 2000.
"But nobody monitored us, so we sold everything -- the one o'clock
time signal to a jewellery store, the Queen's Christmas Message
brought to you by Sammy's Bar and Grill."
But it was soon after he had moved to Guelph, Ontario, that things
really began to happen and he hit the big time at the age of
24 by working for
CHUM.
Though he may have been at the top of the pop game in the Toronto
of the sixties, he also became a national figure at Global as
it expanded from a base in Southern Ontario to become the country's
third network. He never applied for a job in television, it was
just chance.
Bill CUNNINGHAM, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation foreign
correspondent brought in to run Global News, hired him after
he saw him speak during a tour of the new television station.
At the time, Mr.
McADOREY was working for Alan
SLAIGHT, a prescient
broadcaster who had run
CHUM, bought
CFGM and was one of the
early owners of Global. Mr.
CUNNINGHAM's plan was to lighten
up the newscast and hire a kind of humourist-commentator. Thus,
Mr. McADOREY covered entertainment and did light pieces for the
newscast, heading out with a cameraman to find what he could.
Once, during an Air Canada strike, he drifted out to Toronto's
Pearson International Airport and happened to find Terminal 2
entirely deserted. The scene made irresistible camera fodder.
The pair had time to erect an impromptu bowling alley and roll
a few balls before the party was broken up by patrolling policemen.
The show was an enduring success. It helped that Mr.
McADOREY
was good-looking, possessed a great voice and was totally unaffected
and unpretentious. Behind the scenes, though, Global was in turmoil
and not just financially.
The network kept trying to reinvent itself. One idea was to bring
in an untried newsreader, Suzanne
PERRY, who was one of Pierre
TRUDEAU's press aides and whose son, Matthew
PERRY, went on to
fame in the sitcom Friends. Sadly, Ms.
PERRY was put on air before
she was ready and that experiment failed.
A short while afterward, the network tried something called News
at Noon, with Bob
McADOREY doing entertainment, Mike
ANSCOMBE
the sports, and John
DAWE, business. The three of them joked,
made fun of each other, and did and said things you weren't supposed
to see on television. All of a sudden, they had a huge audience,
unheard of at that time of day.
"We broke new ground with 300,000 viewers at noon," said business
reporter John
DAWE. "
Then it expanded and we did the 5: 30 news
as well. We worked together for 14 years."
As he matured, Mr.
McADOREY lost his Buddy Holly looks. Instead,
he was often mistaken for another famous person with glasses
and a mass of curly hair -- Ken
TAILOR/TAYLOR, the Canadian ambassador
to Iran who sheltered American colleagues during the 1979-80
hostage crisis.
At Global, the news department kept trying new things and new
people, though the on-air staff remained pretty much the same.
One producer didn't like the jocular format. And Mr.
McADOREY
didn't like him. He rebelled by being provocative on air.
"It's Friday, and I didn't really feel much like working today.
The boss is out of town so I took it easy this afternoon, stretching
out in my office, reading and daydreaming," he began his part
of the 6 p.m. newscast on April 8, 1983. It got him fired.
"Unprofessional and insulting to the viewers," read the note
from his pompous producer. The viewers thought otherwise. Phone
lines buzzed and letters landed on all the right desks. Two weeks
later, the producer was fired and Bob
McADOREY was rehired.
As host of Entertainment Desk from 1991 to 1997, he guided it
through many lively segments. Among the most memorable was the
appearance of comedienne Judy Tenuta. "[She] pretty well took
over the show, which bothered some viewers but not me," he once
said. "Her wild style made for bizarre television. Most of the
interview was done with Judy sitting on my lap making semi-lewd
comments."
For all that, he never did like producers. At the time of his
retirement in July, 2000, Andrew
RYAN of The Globe and Mail asked
him what advice he would give to aspiring young entertainment
journalists. "Producers are dorks, actors are jerks," Mr.
McADOREY
answered. "The only ones worth talking to are directors."
Having been asked to retire, he said he had no expectations of
a gold watch. Rather, "how about a gold boot up the butt? Retirement
was not my idea. I always thought I had a few more good years
left."
Instead, he chose to retire quietly at his home in Niagara-On-The-Lake,
Ontario His main hobby was reading and he was something of an
authority on James Joyce. An Irish nationalist, he had a lifelong
obsession with the great Dublin writer.
Robert Joseph
McADOREY was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, on
July 24, 1935. He died on February 5 at St. Catharines, Ontario
He was 70 and had suffered prolonged illness. He is survived
by daughter Colleen, sister Pat and brother Terry. He was predeceased
by his wife and by two of three children.

Bill CAMERON,
Journalist And Teacher 1943-2005
'Thinking-man's anchor' who was one of public broadcasting's
true believers seemed destined for greatness until 1999 when
he was among Canadian Broadcasting Corporation staffers cut by
corporation number crunching, writes Joe
FRIESEN
By Joe FRIESEN,
Monday,
March 14, 2005 Page S9
On the day he had brain surgery, Bill
CAMERON, ever the consummate
newsman, roused himself from the anesthetic to set the record
straight. He had already started an argument with the nurses
for taking his books away, and wasn't supposed to be reading
or doing anything strenuous. But as he lay there, his head bandaged,
listening to his neurosurgeon discuss the day's news, he couldn't
help but interject to fill in the missing details.
"They were discussing something that had happened that day, and
Bill seemed to know all about it," his wife
Cheryl
HAWKES said
yesterday. "I said, you've been under anesthetic all day. How
did you do that? How do you keep up like that?
"Somehow, he must have read the paper."
Originally from British Columbia, Mr.
CAMERON spent his high-school
years in Ottawa. His father was a prominent oceanographer and
his mother died of cancer when he was a teenager. He attended
the University of Toronto from 1962 to 1965, and spent much of
his energy as a young man trying to forge a career as an actor
and writer.
He got his start in journalism doing freelance work for Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation radio, and at 25 was on the editorial
board of the Toronto Star. In 1970, he was part of a breakaway
group that wrote the Real Poverty Report in response to what
they felt was a misreading of the situation by the Senate Committee
on Poverty.
He moved to Maclean's magazine before eventually being hired
by Global television in Toronto. Bill
CUNNINGHAM, who was vice-president
of television and current affairs at Global, said Mr.
CAMERON
came highly recommended. "I've often wondered if by taking him
into television I didn't do him a bit of a disservice."
"It's not the kind of thing you win Pulitzer prizes for, turning
out copy for an anchor, but he sure did it better than almost
anyone I've ever seen," he said. "He could really turn a phrase."
By the mid-1970s, Mr.
CAMERON had established himself in television,
becoming a reporter and anchor for Global at a time of ambitious
expansion at the station.
In 1978, Moses
ZNAIMER at the upstart CityTV was looking to add
some intellectual weight to his newscast. He leapt at the chance
to hire Mr.
CAMERON, who brought a natural gravitas with his
Walter Cronkite-like delivery.
"Because we had the only 10 o'clock newscast [in Toronto], I
wanted to make it more dignified, and Bill was perfect," Mr.
ZNAIMER said. "Bill was a guy who believed that ideas matter
and who believed that wrapping up the day's events in a pithy
and elegant way was worthwhile."
It was not long after that Mr.
CAMERON met Ms.
HAWKES, a freelance
journalist. It was August 15, 1980. She had been assigned to
write a profile of the handsome, broad-shouldered anchor.
They met at the Blue Angel restaurant, and as she left at the
end of the interview, Mr.
CAMERON chased after her and said "I
don't need a profile written about me. I need to marry you."
Later, he told her that he knew from the moment they first spoke
on the telephone that he would ask her to marry him.
A few days after the interview, she watched him on television,
looking for material for her story. She remembers seeing one
of the short editorials he used to do at the end of the newscast.
That night, he talked about his experiences at summer camp.
"I thought he was handsome, smart and really weird," she said.
"I was just intrigued, I guess. He represented everything I thought
I wanted in a partner."
It was a whirlwind romance. They were married four months later
in December, 1980. The profile Ms.
HAWKES submitted was published
in Star Week the day of their wedding.
Mr. CAMERON left CityTV in 1983, after station executives decided
his formal style was no longer a good fit for the hip urban market
they coveted.
He was snapped up almost immediately by Mark
STAROWICZ, executive
producer of The Journal, and worked there during the heady days
when the show was at the forefront of international current-affairs
reporting.
He travelled to war zones in Mozambique, Croatia and the Persian
Gulf with The Journal, producing work that colleagues said ranked
with the best ever done at Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Robin BENGER was a producer at The Journal who worked with Mr.
CAMERON on a report on the civil war in the former Yugoslavia.
He said Mr.
CAMERON exuded a sense of calm even-handedness that
allowed him to connect with people from all sides.
"He could interview a peasant in a potato field with the same
equanimity and fairness as the president of a country," Mr.
BENGER
said. At one point, as shelling broke out around them while Mr.
CAMERON was taping a direct-to-camera piece, he calmly worked
his way into an ad lib, describing the shell bursts as the sound
of giants dropping sandbags.
Away from the camera, Mr.
CAMERON was a shy and private person
who didn't covet the spotlight. He was a voracious reader who
constantly had three or four books on the go. His wife said he
would often roll out of bed clutching a book, ready to start
the day.
"We have a picture of him floating on the Dead Sea, when he was
on assignment with The Journal, reading. He could read in the
most extraordinary circumstances," she said. "I think he had
a great fear of getting caught somewhere without a book in his
hand."
She said Mr.
CAMERON felt he always had to be prepared for any
kind of assignment, and so tried to know as much about everything
as he possibly could. "It was like being married to my own Google
search engine," she said.
And even with all the travelling his job required, he was always
very close to his family. Mr.
BENGER remembers his colleague,
in the middle of a war zone, being anxious to get back to the
hotel to hear how his son had fared on a math test that day.
Mr. CAMERON once described a 1983 documentary he did on the civil
war in Mozambique as his best work. But it also raised doubts
for him, which he expressed in an essay for the book The Newsmakers:
Behind the Cameras with Canada's Top television Journalists.
He wrote about feeling the dreadful suspicion "that we dip into
the surface of deep events, paddle with our feet, guard our comforts,
patronize our contacts, exploit great tragedies for the good
of our careers, and get the story wrong.... Maybe the real reporter
is not necessarily the most talented but the one who can survive
all this guilt, doubt, shame and suspicion, and get at least
some part of the story home."
Mr. CAMERON was also one of the alternate anchors of The Journal
who shared time with the late Barbara
FRUM.
But while Ms.
FRUM
was given glamorous interviews with the likes of Margaret Thatcher,
Mr. CAMERON would be relegated to grilling Alan MacEachen in
the show's second half.
Mr. STAROWICZ described him as the "thinking-man's anchor." And
he was even given the chance to share his sense of humour in
the Journal Diary segments, which Mr.
STAROWICZ describes as
"a cynical tour d'horizon, or Michael Moore before there was
a Michael Moore."
Mr. CAMERON had been chosen to succeed Ms.
FRUM as host after
her death in 1992, Mr.
STAROWICZ said, but the show was cancelled
as a result of a power struggle at the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation. Mr.
STAROWICZ remembers the Journal staff gathering
at a pool hall in Queen Street in Toronto and crowding around
the television to hear Mr.
CAMERON utter the show's final words:
"Thank you for letting us serve you."
Mr. CAMERON considered himself one of public broadcasting's true
believers, and was bitterly disappointed when he was eventually
pushed out of the network in 1999 by a take-it-or-leave-it contract
offer that promised a massive pay cut.
After having accepted assignments to host Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's local news in Toronto, where he won a Gemini award,
and for a spell as Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Newsworld's
morning anchor, he left the corporation for a short-lived public-relations
job with American Gem Corp.
Friends say it's a shame that Mr.
CAMERON never got the recognition,
or the high-profile anchor job, that he deserved. "If he had
a problem, it was that he was very bright, and appeared that
way on camera," one former Journal staffer said.
In 2003, Mr.
CAMERON became the media ethics chair at Ryerson
University in Toronto. It was a good fit, Friends said, for he
always took seriously his responsibility to his subjects.
Mr. HENDERSON remembers that Mr.
CAMERON, before every televised
interview, carefully warned his subjects that the tape was rolling
and whatever they said could now be used against them. "He was
a guy who was always in search of fairness. He was inquisitive,
as every good journalist should be. But if he thought somebody
was treated unfairly, it really hurt him."
His latter years were spent mainly on his writing, including
a column in the National Post.
He was known as the best documentary writer in the country, and
was called in to rescue scripts on some of the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's highest-profile successes.
"His writing was just superb. It lifted up anything you were
working on," Mr.
HENDERSON, a senior producer for Canada: A People's
History, said. In 2002, Mr.
CAMERON directed his own documentary
The Season, chronicling the harvest in Biggar, Saskatchewan.
He also published a novel, Cat's Crossing, a dark, literary portrait
of Toronto, and before he died had finished a draft of his second
novel, which centres around a freelance travel writer.
Mr. CAMERON, 62, died at his home in Toronto on Saturday, March
12, of esophageal cancer. He was surrounded by his family.
Bill CAMERON was born in Vancouver on January 23, 1943. He died
of esophageal cancer at his home in Toronto in the early hours
of Saturday morning. He was 62. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl
HAWKES, and their children Patrick, 22, Rachel, 21, and Nick
A Teacher Full Of Insight And Curiosity
When I walked into Bill
CAMERON's class at Ryersen for the first
time in the fall of 2003, I was shocked to see that my ethics
teacher wasn't just the Mr. B.
CAMERON listed on the timetable,
but a genuine star of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
More astonishing, was that he lacked the celebrity attitude we've
all come to expect from a star. Instead, what we got was a teacher
full of insight and curiosity.
He didn't seek the spotlight; he was respectful; and he cared
about what his students had to say. And when his class discussed
the media business, he was never condescending, despite his wealth
of experience. For someone who had been around the world and
covered many of the great conflicts of the late 20th century,
he was surprisingly interested in what a group of aspirants thought.
Of course, there was plenty of his own wisdom as well. In a discussion
of the ethical implications of journalists carrying weapons in
war zones, he casually mentioned that he had never thought it
was a good idea. In Africa, it had once came up as an option
but he dismissed it. He thought that any interview conducted
by someone holding a lethal weapon was probably compromised.
I once approached him to ask about the ethics of going undercover
to expose a professional essay-writing service used by university
students. Bill discussed how it could be done in the most honest,
straightforward way. He was adamant that the owners of the service
could be persuaded to tell their side of the story, and eventually
they did.
On the morning the story was published, Bill had already carefully
read the student paper by the time I arrived. He said he thought
we had got the ethics just right.
It was a compliment I will always treasure. -- Joe

I Remember -- Peter
JENNINGS
By Peter DESBARATS,
Saturday,
August 13, 2005, Page S11
Most of the public recollections of Peter
JENNINGS have cited
his generosity, particularly when it came to other journalists.
I experienced an outstanding example of this.
It was near the end of the 1980s. I had been the journalism dean
at the University of Western Ontario since 1981. A large part
of this job, and similar positions in academia, was raising money.
Someone came up with a brilliant idea -- we would gather together
a dozen of the top Canadian journalists from home and abroad
for a public celebration of their talent. It would be truly a
"Gathering of the Giants."
From the outset it was evident that we would need the support
of the "giant of giants," Peter
JENNINGS.
Clearly, he had achieved
that status among Canadian journalists working in Canada, in
the United States and elsewhere. He was in a class by himself.
So I flew to New York to have lunch with him. This had been surprisingly
easy to arrange, despite the fact that our paths had not previously
crossed. There is a camaraderie among journalists that I had
experienced on assignment in many countries and Peter was a prime
example of this.
We enjoyed an unpretentious lunch in the ABC network's cafeteria
and chatted about mutual Friends before I made my pitch. After
a minimum of discussion he agreed to be one of our giants. The
rest soon followed: the two other Peters,
MANSBRIDGE and
GZOWSKI
the two Barbaras,
FRUM and
AMIEL;
Morley
Safer from 60 Minutes,
Lloyd ROBERSTON of CTV, Allan
FOTHERINGHAM,
Sydney
Gruson of
The
New
York Times, Jeffrey
SIMPSON of The Globe and Mail, Henry
CHAMP of CTV, Robert McNeil of
PBS and Richard
GWYN of the Toronto
Star, for a total of 13.
Months later, after a tremendous amount of work by my committee
in Toronto, we were approaching the big night at Toronto's Metro
Convention Centre. There had been a few minor bumps along the
way, but Peter
JENNINGS was still on board. By this time I had
learned to appreciate how unusual this was.
Peter gave me to understand that ABC wasn't particularly keen
on anything that highlighted his Canadian background and citizenship.
I also got the impression that his prominent role in this fundraiser
was unusual and probably would not have been undertaken for a
journalism school in the United States.
In the final weeks I began to worry about some major news event
conflicting with our gathering and taking Peter to some far-flung
but newsworthy corner of the world. He couldn't guarantee that
this wouldn't happen but simply repeated that he would make every
effort to attend.
My nightmare came true when the destruction of the Berlin Wall
in November, 1989, unleashed a whole series of European events.
I can't remember exactly which one conflicted with our gathering,
only that it was significant enough to make me almost abandon
hope. But Peter arrived on schedule in a private plane from New
York, stopping for our event in Toronto before flying immediately
that night to some European capital or other.
I watched him on the screen the following night in amazement,
not so much for his profound professionalism but for his amazing
Friendship and generosity.
But there's more. After our Oscar-type celebration of the 13
giants on the convention centre's main stage -- complete with
video highlights of their careers and mini-interviews by 13 awestruck
journalism students -- and after a lavish buffet supper ("food
from the news capitals of the world"), the entertainment consisted
of a mock newscast anchored by Peter
JENNINGS,
Lloyd
ROBERTSON
and Peter MANSBRIDGE.
The rest of the 13 were in a nearby studio
supposedly reporting from Washington, London, Moscow and other
impressive datelines.
Peter gave my script for this tomfoolery his full attention,
reading it carefully beforehand, underlining certain parts and
rehearsing under his breath. The other two anchors quickly rose
to the challenge, providing our audience with a hilarious display
of competitive news delivery as they worked shamelessly to milk
laughs from their appreciative audience.
The only restriction placed by Peter on this unique performance
was that no one in the control room would make an unauthorized
pirate tape of it. And as far as I know, no one did, because
I'm sure it would have turned up by now.
We raised about $80,000 for the journalism school that night
and I always felt that I had never thanked him properly. So thanks,
Peter. You stood for everything that was thoughtful, professional
and generous about journalism at its best.
Peter DESBARATS, a former Global television anchor, was dean
of the graduate journalism program at the University of Western
Ontario from 1981 to 1996.

'Mac' led heady days at
CHUM
Disk
Jockey
Bob
McADOREY as popular as music
'Bon vivant' later a Global television fixture
By Jim BAWDEN,
Television
COLUMNIST
Bob McADOREY helped usher in radio's rock 'n' roll era and set
the musical agenda for a generation of Toronto teens.
Few today realize the power that Disk Jockeys like
McADOREY exerted
over Toronto popular culture 40 years ago, when radio ruled.
It was a cozy time for music -- and then
CHUM entered the fray,
blew the cobwebs away and ushered in the crazy days of rock broadcasting.
McADOREY, 69, died Saturday at St. Catharines' Hotel Dieu hospital
after a long illness.
McADOREY grew up in Niagara Falls and attended Stamford Collegiate,
also the alma mater of Titanic director James
CAMERON. He was
in the same graduating class as Barbara
FRUM, the legendary Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation-television interviewer.
As a teen,
McADOREY won a province-wide public speaking contest
and was the popular president of his high school fraternity.
He also played ragtime piano.
"Crowds would go around him," said his older brother, Terry
McADOREY.
McADOREY's radio career started in 1953 when the Niagara Falls
native first signed on with
CHVC near the Falls, introducing
listeners to his unique style of easy-going patter.
"I looked like Buddy Holly back then,"
McADOREY told the Toronto
Star in a 1981 interview. "I weighed about 95 pounds and we played
songs like 'Que Sera Sera.' Everything was a lot softer, smoother
then."
After additional stops in London, Guelph, Hamilton and Dawson
Creek, McADOREY wound up at Toronto's
CHUM, coaxed to climb aboard
by resident star Disk Jockey Al
BOLISKA.
"I'd lived with Al above a variety store in London and he kept
telling me to come to
CHUM. I asked for $600 a month, after all
Gordie TAPP was making $100 a week, and to my surprise I got
the job."
Starting in 1960,
McADOREY began a stint that many people consider
rock programming at its finest: brash, spontaneous and pretty
wild. And the Disk Jockeys were the stars.
CHUM became the rock station to listen to and
McADOREY was the
man who told you if a song was going places. The guy who hung
out with The Beatles and The Stones when they were in town (and
introduced them from the stage) was known simply as "Mac."
For years, he hosted the all-important 4 to 7 p.m. slot.
CHUM's
chart of the week's top records was posted everywhere: in record
stores and high school lockers. Eaton's and Simpson's would only
stock those 45s that were on the
CHUM list. When a new record
called "The Unicorn" came in,
McADOREY liked it so much he immediately
put it on the air and it sold 140,000 copies in Canada in two
weeks and made The Irish Rovers.
Thinking back on those heady days,
McADOREY said, "We kept it
all clean up here. There was no payola as in the U.S. and we
deliberately helped a lot of Canadians. It was personality radio.
We were promoted like crazy back then. And the pressures were
unbelievable. We dictated what records were going to go. And
what kids would eat, drink.
"I could have written five books about what happened at
CHUM.
There'd be one book if I saved my memos. The most frightening
thing was the British invasion. There weren't enough cops to
handle the crowds -- it was out of control."
Off the air, he was a bon vivant, said 72-year-old Terry
McADOREY.
"We did a lot of drinking. He was a good friend of Ronnie
HAWKINS."
In 1968, the
CHUM deal fizzled. When owner Al
WATERS brought
in American consultants,
McADOREY felt the business was becoming
too heavily formatted and left.
McADOREY headed to
CFGM in Richmond Hill, which was trying to
invade Toronto with a country music format. As morning man, he
energized the station. He moved to
CFTR in 1970 and after a few
years returned to
CFGM.
A constant listener was Bill
CUNNINGHAM, head of Global television
news, and he asked
McADOREY to contribute satirical bits, which
eventually became a full-time job.
Sample segment: during an airline strike
McADOREY headed out
to Terminal 2 with bowling equipment and pins to demonstrate
the building was only of use as a bowling alley. Royal Canadian
Mounted Police officers saw nothing funny in this and whisked
him out as the piece was being filmed.
Another time during a city campaign to get dog owners to scoop
up deposits,
McADOREY and a cameraman went out to do field tests,
which consisted of chasing terrified dogs whose owners had failed
the test.
By 1980, he was entertainment editor. In 1983, Global tried to
fire him when he disagreed over assignments. Global's Three Guys
at noon telecast was a big hit (the others: Mike Anscombe and
John Dawe) and hundreds of daily phone calls forced management
to reconsider. For a time, Global even outperformed Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation's Midday.
McADOREY later got his own afternoon entertainment show where
he'd report from movie junkets and comment on the entertainment
scene.
I last chatted with him in 2000 when he was railing against Global's
retirement-at-65 rule. But he looked frail and had been off for
months after a fainting attack.
McADOREY had a farm at Gormley and a place in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Despite his television success he still yearned for the golden
days of radio: "I'd walk into the booth in pyjama tops and jeans
and talk one-on-one to people. At least that's the way I always
imagined it."
McADOREY leaves daughter Colleen, her husband Jim
TATTI, a Global
sports broadcaster, and four grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his wife Willa, daughter Robin and son
Terry.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at St. Patrick's
Church in Niagara Falls.

Cancer battle claims admired journalist
By Antonia
ZERBISIAS,
Media
Columnist
The wonder is, Bill
CAMERON did not author his own obituary.
For here was a man who is acknowledged as the greatest writer
of his generation of Canadian journalists, whose words graced
the page, the stage, the screen, the classroom and, of course,
the airwaves.
CAMERON, 62, died at his Toronto home just after midnight yesterday,
after a 20-month struggle with esophageal cancer, surrounded
by his wife, Cheryl
HAWKES, and his children Patrick, 22, Rachel,
21, and Nick 15.
"He was trying to hold us in his arms," said
HAWKES yesterday.
"But he was too weak."
Respected, admired, and loved,
CAMERON was, what friend and former
Canadian
Broadcasting
Corporation colleague Fred
LANGAN called
yesterday, "a triple threat," the consummate anchor, journalist
and writer.
But he was more than that.
From his start as a freelance entertainment critic for Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation and CTV, to penning an editorial column
at the Toronto Star at the age of 25, to editing for the nascent
Global news, to anchoring at Citytv in the 1970s, to covering
foreign assignments and co-hosting for Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's nightly newsmagazine The Journal, to anchoring
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation-television's local news, to
fronting Newsworld's morning show, to writing novels and ghosting
documentary scripts for others, to playing the anchor on the
Comedy Network's Puppets Who Kill, there was no journalism job
CAMERON could not do -- and do well.
"Who the hell is good at all those things?" asked Mark
STAROWICZ,
the producer who hired
CAMERON in 1983 to report and fill in
as an anchor on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's The Journal
and Midday.
Which is why, when the Journal went off the air in 1992, it was
CAMERON, tapped to succeed the late Barbara
FRUM as host, who
delivered the eloquent goodbye to viewers: "I'd like to leave
you with the words you find on the back of the cheque you get
at any coffee shop in Canada. Thank you for letting us serve
you."
What CAMERON had was a voice, and even at the end, when he could
barely use it, he still slapped on his make-up to host his i-channel
talk show, as well as act as fill-in interviewer on Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation Radio's As It Happens.
His last big interview was with the Dalai Lama, for the documentary
The Dalai Lama: The Power of Compassion that aired last week
on i-channel.
"He was a master of the interview," said Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's Peter
MANSBRIDGE, who recalled
CAMERON giving him
some pointers last fall at a party in his honour.
About 200 Friends and colleagues, from all the networks and the
print media where
CAMERON had worked, gathered at Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation to show their support.
"He really kept his sense of humour," said Global's Peter
KENT.
"He'd go through the chemo sessions -- and was brutalized by
them -- but then he'd come up for air and talk to Friends and
inquire about others."
"Everybody has this idea that he was such a serious guy," said
Valerie PRINGLE, with whom he worked on Midday. "But I remember
when the opportunity came up to interview Big Bird, he wrestled
me to the ground and said, 'It's mine.'
"I can remember he was doing an interview, with a cop or something,
and he said, 'Well, I've shoplifted, I've smoked dope,'"
PRINGLE
laughed. "We all just dropped our coffees."
What CAMERON cared about was his family and journalism.
"He worshipped his wife and children," said
PRINGLE, describing
a Valentine's Day tribute that
CAMERON had published. "It just
made you cry. I thought this guy was so madly in love with Cheryl,
I can't even stand it."
In fact, it was love at first sight.
HAWKES met him in 1980, when she was doing a freelance profile
on him for Star Week magazine.
"He followed me out of the restaurant and tried to talk me out
of writing the story," she said yesterday. "He said 'I don't
need publicity; I need to marry you.'"
They were wed four months later. But he would leave her often
to take on dangerous assignments for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,
flying in and out of the hellholes of the world.
STAROWICZ described one assignment in which
CAMERON was talking
to the camera, with bombs exploding around him, but he barely
flinched.
In fact, "he was talking in perfect paragraphs."
But it seems that
CAMERON, who has held the journalism ethics
chair at Ryerson University, also worried about the ethical hazards
of war reporting.
As he wrote in 1990, "That's the dreadful suspicion: That we
dip into the surface of deep events, paddle with our feet, guard
our comforts, patronize our contacts, exploit great tragedies
for the good of our careers, and get the story wrong."
CAMERON wanted to get the story not only right, but also exactly,
perfectly, precisely right.
"He had one of the most discerning ears," said Citytv's Mark
DAILEY, who worked with
CAMERON when he was the anchor of the
10 p.m. newscast. "He was a very important part of our early
conscience at Citypulse."
MANSBRIDGE remembered one evening co-hosting with
CAMERON on
the Journal. It was a time of intense rivalries between the National
and the newsmagazine and few people expected the pairing to go
well.
But, said
MANSBRIDGE, in the middle of a technical interview
on a financial story,
CAMERON slipped him an idea, which improved
the segment.
"That underlined that this was a guy who cared about the product,
who cared about how we did things,"
MANSBRIDGE said.
"He studied acting which is one of the reasons he could be a
little arch on television,"
LANGAN said. "He knew how to manipulate
words more than the average announcer."
A journalist to the end,
CAMERON documented his battle with his
cancer for an upcoming feature in Walrus magazine. His most recent
piece was a witty look... at caskets.
That's why it is so surprising he didn't leave some notes for
the occasion of the death, one he knew was coming much too fast
and too soon.
