Denise Donlon: Firebrand
Manage episode 383683211 series 3425756
Ok, she’s done everything. Much Music rock ‘n roll host/producer, president at SONY Music Canada, honcho at CBC Radio, and all-around do-gooder. Seriously. Through it all, Denise Donlon has tried to use her powers for good. She has fought for women, gay people, for racial diversity, and usually had a lot of fun while she was at it. She spills about CITY-TV, the CBC, and having her heart broken by Leonard Cohen. Not in that way.
Denise paved the way for women in corporate leadership at Sony Music, at the CBC, at Much, and is a member of the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame. She’s been awarded the Order of Canada, a few Geminis, and she has written a memoir: “Fearless as Possible (Under the Circumstances)”. She and her husband, the singer Murray McLaughlin, have been called “Canadian Royalty”. Whatever that is, she deserves it!
