Bob McIntosh one of the longest heard voices in Canadian radio passed away at Mount Sinai Hospital at the age of 69. Bob McIntosh has been providing The Winter Road Report for nearly 50 years, starting as an employee of the provincial transportation ministry in the 60s, later syndicated by Soundsource and since 2004 by Canadian Radio Syndications.
With his reports being heard on a great many stations, over many years, his voice would have been heard by more listeners than almost anyone else in the industry. Canadian Radio Syndications President Mike Beeston said, "the industry has lost an historic voice, a dedicated servant of the listening public, and I and many others have lost a friend."
I have heard this man on CJBQ doing traffic reports. He had a classic voice and his professionalism will indeed be missed.
