Paul Graham

Canada is his home. No, really. The entire country. You see, Paul was an Air Force brat, so he literally spent time in various cities right across the country. It was a musical clan. Paul actually played in his father's Big Band at the age of six.
His love of broadcasting took some time to materialize. Paul spent time at a number of jobs over the years. Driving cab. Driving truck. He was even a licensed mechanic!
It was after meeting Joey Gregorash that Paul started working with people in the music industry, and he's developed many connections, and friendships, over the years.
The radio career started in Winnipeg at CFRW in 1976. A stint at CKRC followed that, before he finally landed a gig at Winnipeg's news and talk powerhouse CJOB in 1991. In the summer of 2007 he made the decision to join the family at NL Broadcasting.
Paul and his wife Jayne make their home in Westwold (yep - quite the commute every day!).  Quincy and Tia (dogs) and three cats make up the Graham clan. Oh, did we mention all those chickens?

THINGS YOU WON'T HEAR ON THE NEWS    Friday February 3/12

    SUPER BOWL-BRADY AND BUFFALO
    Hey, Buffalo's not so bad. That's the message folks in the western New York city have for Tom Brady. The New England Patriots quarterback says he's sorry for putting down Buffalo hotels. In comments to the media earlier this week, Brady said the hotels in Buffalo are ``not the nicest places in the world.'' One of the top hotels in Buffalo is now offering him a free night's stay to show him he's wrong. The Patriots play the New York Giants in the Super Bowl on Sunday in Indianapolis.

    SOUPER BOWL
    Folks in Ashland, Kentucky, are getting ready for their Souper Bowl -- as in soup. It's a party organized by churches and outreach groups for the city's homeless and disadvantaged. Free food will be offered, then the Super Bowl will be shown on a big screen TV. Organizers tell a local paper (The Independent) they hope to make the Community Souper Bowl Party an annual event.

    SUPER BOWL-DUI
    Connecticut state police are getting ready for the Super Bowl. Troopers will be conducting roving drunk-driving patrols across the state. Officials say the weekend could be among the busiest ever for the state police. Connecticut sits about half-way between where the Giants and Patriots call home. The state has football fans of both teams.

    SUPER BOWL-CURLING
    A game that's played on the ice is hot -- and it's not hockey. It's curling. Phill Drobnick was the 2010 U.S. Olympic curling coach. He's also an ambassador of the game. Drobnick says he got an idea of how far the sport has come when he was invited to a learn to curl event in Las Vegas. Right off the Strip, no less. This week, members of USA Curling are making another trek. They're in Indianapolis, to demonstrate the sport in the Super Bowl Village.

    KENTUCKY BOURBON
    Times are tough -- but Kentucky's bourbon industry is booming. Governor Steve Beshear says bourbon has helped Kentucky weather the recession. That's making bourbon, not drinking it. Production of Kentucky bourbon has jumped by 50 per cent since 1999. And the tax-take from bourbon has grown by $338 million since 2008.

    BUG RESEARCHER
    If one thing bugs Scott Shaw -- it's not having enough bugs. He's an insect expert at the University of Wyoming and a professor of entomology. He travels to the tropical forests of eastern Ecuador annually to search for new insect species. He's discovered more than 150 and has a dozen species named after him. Shaw tells a local paper (Laramie Boomerang) no one knows how many species are left to be discovered. He says it could take centuries.
