A few hours before the Ottawa Now team turned on their mics, the start of what seemed to be a normal Wednesday in December, the mighty CFRA Nation was shaken to its core. Ken Grant, one of Canada’s longest-serving radio hosts, passed away at the age of 88. Throughout the course of three decades, this generational icon inspired future broadcasters and left an everlasting mark on Canada’s Capital, both on the airwaves and behind the scenes. CFRA alumni Steve Madely delivers a final salute to ‘The General’.
