SEE PAGE 8 Whitby's Tom Gibney behind CFTO news desk for 15 years By Donna Donaldson 'From the Durham Chronicle' Diction and the ability to communicate to viewers are the key to Tom Gibney's success as anchor of CFTO-TV's top-rated World Beat News. "I am by no means a journalist, and I do not profess to be," says Gibney, 51, of Whitby. "I know for some reason, I am a good communicator. I can take what is handed to me (a script), take the words off the page, and give them to the people." And Gibney has been doing just that --giving viewers the news for 15 years from behind the World Beat desk, along with co-anchor, Gail Smith. He landed his first on-air job at the age of 18, at CKYL radio in Peace River, Alta. He was working for an oil exploration crew when he and a couple of friends decided to take a tour of the local radio station on a day TOMGIBNEY off. The manager showed them around the station, and asked if any of them were interested in a job. Gibney decided "what the heck," did an audition and scored a job doing the morning show. He stayed at CKYL six months, and then ventured across the prairies from one station to the next, finally settling in 1964 at CFCN radio and television in Calgary, for 10 years. Besides hosting the radio show at CFCN, Gibney also did a talk show, game shows, commercials and weather. "The weather was done with a plexi-glass board, and I had the chore of writing backwards," Gibney recalls: "We started out using lipstick (hotpink) to write with, but lipstick just wore down too fast. I ended up phoning Dave Devall in Toronto, and asked him what he used on the weather board so we could get some. I believe he said it was theatrical make-up in a .stick. I never did master two hands like Dave, but-I did (master) the one hand." CFTO's news director, Ted Stuebing, found Gibney in Calgary and asked him to audition for the anchor spot for CFTO's suppertime news cast. "In all honesty, I really didn't want to come (to Toronto), but my wife said 'Go ahead.' I had been offered jobs down here twice before (one at a radio station in Toronto, and one in London), I turned them down and I kicked myself ever since." Gibney attributes his faithful viewers for his long term at the CFTO news desk. "I have been very fortunate. Our bible is the ratings book, and if the ratings say we don't like you, you're not there." Apparently viewers still like the CFTO news team. Viewership is up 16,000 from 1987, bringing the total to a whopping 467,000 people tuning in. Gibney attributes CFTO's success to goodteam work with a lot of credit going to the reporters. He says the on-air personalities, the length and quality of news stories, and the lead-in show to the news, all contribute to setting CFTO apart from other stations. "The lead-in show to the news is a very important show. If you have people watching that, they will generally stick around to watch the news." Gibney says CFTO usually requires their on-air personalities to have a youthful appearance. "I've been told I am not going to lose my hair, so I don't have to worry about going bald. If the time ever comes when they think I look too old as compared to other people, I don't know what they would do. But they have told me, at one time or another, I would always have a job there if I See Inside OUTDOOR LIVING Pullout Feature wanted one --but they didn't say doing what," Gibney jokes. Gibney resides in Whitby with his wife, Donna, and one of his four children, Mona. His other SEE PAGE 2 1-7 Mllý MM ',?. - ýý. -ý- 771
