News 1130 business editor Richard Dettman is retiring after a 45-year career in broadcast.
His last day at the Vancouver, British Columbia station will be Nov. 27.
A story on its website states, “Richard joined NEWS 1130 in 2004 and has helped make this radio station Vancouver’s go-to radio source for the latest business news.
“However, he did not spend his entire journalism career covering the business world. Prior to joining Rogers Sports & Media, his career took him to CKO, CJOR, CKVU-TV, and CFVR Abbotsford, where he wore many hats including anchor, news director, talk show host, and editorialist.
“Among his long list of accomplishments, Richard expertly led coverage of the financial crisis in 2008, and recently has kept listeners informed of the economic impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic. He has covered many court cases and inquests, and even helped expose a group pushing anti-Semitism in the Fraser Valley.”
