A
End
quote:
these
are
the
selfless
words
of
doug
collins
who
recently
made
the
decision
to
step
away
from
the
career
he
loved
doug
leaves
broadcasting
after
a
55-year
run,
with
51
of
those
unforgettable
and
rewarding
years
with
the
same
company
that
is
now
known
as
paterson
jim
patterson
media
over
five
plus
decades
doug.
Did
it
all
from
reporting
and
anchoring
to
senior
management.
A
However,
never
one
to
put
himself
first
doug
will
tell
you
that
his
greatest
pride
in
over
50
years
in
broadcasting
were
the
people
who
came
through
cfjc
as
they
worked
toward
advancing
their
own
careers
in
radio
and
television
cfjc's.
James
peters
summed
it
up
well
when
he
said
this,
and
I
quote,
like
dozens,
maybe
hundreds
of
great
journalists
and
broadcasters
over
the
past
half
century.
I
literally
owe
my
career
to
doug
collins.
I
could
not
have
asked
for
a
better
mentor
and
boss.
A
End
quote
active
in
the
community
in
several
roles,
including
coaching
baseball
and
football
doug's.
Contributions
were
recognized
by
the
city
of
kamloops
in
2019
when
he
received
the
freedom
of
the
city.
He
was
also
named
broadcaster
of
the
year
by
the
bc
association
of
broadcasters
in
2009,
and
he
holds
a
well-earned
lifetime
achievement
award
from
the
radio
and
television
news
directors,
association
and,
despite
telling
it
like
it,
was
in
40
years
of
radio
editorials,
which
often
sparked
hot
debate.
Doug
always
maintain
his
reputation
for
compassion,
integrity
and

his
principles.
