Jim Waters

Jim Waters, 73, on Dec. 13. The son of CHUM co-founder Allan Waters, Jim worked in radio for 35 years, culminating in a seat on the CHUM board of directors, alongside his brother Ron. Jim took over as head of the company shortly before his father’s death in late 2005. In July 2006, CHUM agreed to merge with CTVglobemedia. Waters stepped away from broadcasting, for the most part at age 55, at the end of that summer, but continued to maintain some connections to the media business, helping fund the application for student operated radio station, CHOP-FM, which launched at Pickering College in Newmarket, ON in 2007. He also sat on the board of Starboard Communications in Belleville, ON. Waters was named Broadcasting Executive of the Year at Canadian Music Week (CMW) in 2001 and was inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame in 2007. The owner of Ontario Hockey League (OHL) team, the Erie Otters, he had been a member of the OHL’s Executive Council of the Board of Governors since 2001. Read more here.
