Career Highlights
CKSO Radio lays claim to Warren Woods' first job in his broadcasting
career as Announcer as well as being his hometown where he was born
and raised. Before going on the air, he graduated from Mohawk
College, specializing in Communication Arts.
After five years at CKSO, Warren moved to CFCL TV in Timmins,
Ontario in a new role as Sports Director. He continued to
serve in this capacity in television when he next moved to Thunder
Bay two years later in 1981. He remained at Thunder Bay
Television for six years.
Warren Woods headed west to Regina in August, 1987. There, he became part of the original
sports team at the then STV (now Global). He remains at Global
and is co-host of the nightly half hour Global
sports program.
A memorable event for Warren in his career dates back to November of
1989 when he was covering the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Toronto as
the Roughriders won the team's second Grey Cup. The final
score in that contest, Saskatchewan beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats,
43-40.
Special Interests/Hobbies
It is not uncommon to find Warren acting as Master of Ceremonies for
many a banquet, being a favourite at many local dinners and award
nights in Regina. Apparently he may be spotted from time to
time at a Luiggi's restaurant when not working behind a microphone
or in front of a camera.
