Tremaine was best known as the emcee of Don Messer’s Jubilee, a popular weekly music show that aired on full CBC TV network from 1959 to 1969. He also worked for CBC Radio from 1971 to 1987.
According to his obituary, Tremaine was born in Boston, Mass., on June 27, 1928, then moved to Halifax at the age of three. He was 91.
He was introduced to broadcasting as a teenager and quickly discovered a passion and talent for “the game,” and spent close to 40 years cultivating one of the most recognizable voices and reputations in the country.”
Tremaine also held a role as a Citizenship Court Judge, according to the obituary, and pursued volunteer work at the IWK Children’s Hospital and the Halifax School for the Blind.
I always remember Don hosting the early years of the IWK Telethon when it was on CBC, he was just so smooth on-air.
Thanks for blazing the trail for our generation of broadcasters Don.
Rest in radio and TV peace Trigger.
