Ted Tevan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ted Tevan (born c. 1937)^[1] is a Canadian sports radio broadcaster.

Originally from Kingston, Ontario, Tevan moved to Montreal in 1965 initially working in radio advertising. His career remained based in that city except for a short-lived sports talk show on the Toronto-based CKO in early 1989, and from then until 1991 at CKWW in Windsor, Ontario.^[2]

His first radio program was Sports Rap on Montreal's 1470 CFOX radio station, considered a key pioneering effort towards the development of sports radio in Canada.

Outside his broadcasting career, Tevan served as a defence witness in 2001 during the incest trial of boxing champion Dave Hilton, Jr..^[3]

In January 2000, Tevan began a late night Tuesdays and Thursdays of CFMB 1280 shortly after his previous show on AM 940 (then CIQC) was cancelled due to a format change.^[4] He previously hosted shows on the 940 frequency when it was known as CFCF.^[5]

Tevan most recently hosted a late night sports programme on 990 The Team.
