Global News
Brent Loucks looks back at nearly 40 years of hosting CKOM’s morning show in Saskatoon as he prepares for his last show on Feb. 4.
Brent Loucks is not calling it a retirement.
The alarm clock will buzz at 4 a.m. for the final time on Feb. 4 as Loucks says goodbye to nearly 40 years of hosting CKOM’s morning show and 50 years in radio.
“It’s just time. My wife and I, she has a busy business and we just find that the 4 a.m. wears both of us down and we want a little bit more of a normal life,” he said.
But Loucks isn’t using the word “retired.”
“Retired to me has a negative connotation,” he said.
“I want to still be active in radio and working for this great company.”
Loucks took time to look back on a career spanning 50 years.
As a teenager, Loucks had a love of hunting and fishing and wanted to become a conservation officer.
