The Norm
by NEWSTALK Sauga 960 AM
After many years on national television as a broadcaster for The Shopping Channel, Norm Murray has turned his attention to the people, events, and news from his own backyard – Peel Region. A Mississauga resident, Norm travels to various happenings across the GTA to find out – what IS “The Norm” in Peel? On-air, Norm invites conversation, as he engages in thorough discussion through live interviews. Notable interviews include: performers of The Living Arts Centre, Paramount Fine Foods Centre, and The International Centre – everyday people who entertain the community, specifically those who shy away from the “norm,” subsequently establishing a new “norm.” As he likes to say, “we’ve got a lot to talk about.”
