CBC Radio legend Bruce Smith dies
CBC Toronto radio legend Bruce Smith, whose deep voice was heard on the city’s airwaves for more than 30 years, has died. Smith, who became host of the local morning show Toast and Jamboree in 1947, died on Boxing Day. He had been diagnosed with cancer. He was 87.
CBC.ca has an article with memories from past colleagues.
Smith hosted the radio program in the morning timeslot until the creation of the current program Metro Morning in 1972. He then went on to host The Bruce Smith Show in the afternoons until he retired in 1978.
A memorial service will be held in Burlington next week.

Oops! I do want to be totally accurate! Thanks, I’ve fixed it.
