S&P Presents: Jim Robson & Squire Barnes
from Sekeres & Price Show
It's another special edition of the show on a long weekend! S&P Presents Vancouver Media Legends: Squire Barnes and Jim Robson. Matt and Blake spend the B.C. Day holiday speaking to two B.C. legends. Squire Barnes, ex of BCTV now Global, tells us why shaving his moustache and changing from specs to contacts helped launch his television career. He's been bringing British Columbians sports news and highlights for more than 30 years, so he gives us his thoughts on the Canucks as well as outlining his friendship with Michael J Fox and making it to the Ellen show. Jim Robson is the legend of all media legends in this province. The original voice of the Canucks outlines how he got the team's play-by-play job, how he could've been a baseball announcer in Seattle and Milwaukee, his first NHL game and a shocking encounter with Tim Horton, as well as his partnership with Tom Larscheid. He also reflects back on his famous calls -- "Adams, Greg Adams!" and "he'll play, you know he'll play" -- during the '94 Cup run.
