HALIFAX – RTDNA Canada will honour Brian Madore with a lifetime achievement award this weekend during the East Regional Meeting on March 30.
Madore has distinguished himself through outstanding service and continued excellence during the course of his career in journalism and news management, reads the announcement.
After graduating from the Nova Scotia Institute of Technology in Halifax in 1980, Madore began his broadcast career at CRXL, which broadcast over the Dartmouth Community Cable Channel in the day when there were only about 13 channels.
After seven months, he took a news position at CKYQ in Grand Bank and then was promoted to the flagship station CJYQ in St. John's where he spent the next three years doing just about everything in the business as there were only four people in the newsroom. He then spent a short time at CFNB in Fredericton before VOCM came calling. That was in 1984 and Madore has been there ever since, even serving a three-year period as news director.
Among his career highlights is an Atlantic Journalism Award in 2016 with for his coverage of the protests at Muskrat Falls.
