When Chris Cuthbert, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션79, was a kid, he would put a transistor radio under his pillow at night and fall asleep to the sound of sportscasters calling games from faraway cities like New York, Chicago, and Boston. He dreamed of being one of those voices one day.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I thought it would be the perfect job, but it was so specialized, so remote, the odds so small that I never even really thought about pursuing it,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.
That changed soon after he arrived at CFRC in the fall of 1978. The Gaels were on their way to winning a national football championship that year and Cuthbert wanted to be in the booth calling the action.
He can카지노 게임 컬렉션t remember who Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s played in his first game, but he clearly remembers that everything changed for him the moment he put the headset on.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Sometimes, play-by-play is like karaoke,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Everybody thinks they can do it until they get the mic. I certainly can카지노 게임 컬렉션t do karaoke, but when I got to call that game, it was like I카지노 게임 컬렉션d been doing it for years.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Today, Cuthbert has one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian sports broadcasting. Over his 40-plus years in the business, he has won multiple Geminis and has called multiple Grey Cups, Stanley Cups, and Olympics. His most famous call? Sidney Crosby카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노 게임 컬렉션golden goal카지노 게임 컬렉션 at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
카지노 게임 컬렉션If there카지노 게임 컬렉션s a moment as good as that one at the 2010 Olympics, I카지노 게임 컬렉션m all for getting a chance to do another one,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.
Beginnings at CFRC
At CFRC, he got the chance to call football and hockey games, as well as be the sports editor at the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Journal. But one of his biggest breaks came on the evening of Nov. 4, 1978.
Days earlier, Cuthbert had called up Toronto radio station CFRB to ask if they카지노 게임 컬렉션d like a report on the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s football team. He grew up listening to CFRB카지노 게임 컬렉션s famous sportscasts at 6:40 pm and 11:20 pm. 카지노 게임 컬렉션If it카지노 게임 컬렉션s broadcast quality, we카지노 게임 컬렉션ll air it,카지노 게임 컬렉션 was the reply.
So, Cuthbert wrote up his 45-second report, phoned it in, and gathered around the radio at 6:40 pm with his roommates. They waited. And waited. There was no report. He was devastated.
Later that night, though, Cuthbert returned home early from an Elvis Costello concert at Jock Harty Arena and turned on CFRB. At 11:25 pm, he heard his voice.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I still get chills even telling that story because that is when I knew,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션When I could be on the radio station I grew up listening to as a kid and they had run that report, that was the fuel I needed to take it to the next level.카지노 게임 컬렉션
None of it would have been possible without CFRC, he says.
카지노 게임 컬렉션To this day, when anybody asks me about how to get into the business, I tell them it카지노 게임 컬렉션s about getting reps and getting opportunities at any level. And I couldn카지노 게임 컬렉션t have been more fortunate to get those high-quality opportunities at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.카지노 게임 컬렉션
