Mike Hanafin

Mike Hanafin

News Department, 1984-1988

Did sports from 1984 to 88, afternoons and weekends, plus reporting.

Went from CFNY to CFRB from 89-94 as a freelance sports reporter, then to TSN 95-01 as a writer/producer on Sportsdesk and Formula One broadcasts.

From Mike, November 2001:



Never had more fun in broadcasting in my life, especially when I filled in for Fred Patterson on the Pete and Geets show. Also played for the "Wankees".



An update from Mike, June 2006:



After TSN, I worked 2001-2005 at The Weather Network as a Newswriter...then quit to head west to Vancouver in July 2005. Worked at City-TV as a newswriter/associate producer until December before going to News 1130 as a reporter.




An update from Mike, March 2008:



Still working at News1130 ..mostly as website editor, with still some reporting and radio writing duties. doing a lot of skiing, hiking, biking, curling and enjoying life on the West Coast.



An update from Mike, May 2011:



was laid off from News1130 in June 2010, due to "restructuring" :(

But still enjoying life in Vancouver.



An update from Mike, October 2021:



I did some freelance writing/production work at CBC...(Vancouver TV newsroom) the next summer...hated it (although met some nice and talented people...who mostly also hated it there..lol), and since then only dabbled in media/broadcasting. Wrote hiking articles for the Vancouver Courier for 3 summers, and worked freelance for Sportsnet as Associate Producer on their BC curling broadcasts for 3 years. Also (through media connections) got asked to be the Official Scorer for the Vancouver Canadians minor league baseball team (still doing that). In the meantime, I re-invented myself to work for Arc�teryx (high-end outdoor gear/clothes) in their head-office until September 2016, when I decided to get out of the rat-race, and �semi-retire�. Zero regrets on that one! Still living in Vancouver, cycling, hiking and snowshoeing when my back isn�t killing me. And still keeping up on the news and goings-on of former CFNY staff.
