Steve Madely is one of the veterans of the Ottawa news scene, and puts a wealth of journalistic experience to work on behalf of his listeners. After a radio and television news-reporting career in diverse markets Steve and his wife Gayle settled in Ottawa in 1972 – and since 1994 he has hosted the Capital’s top-rated Madely in The Morning show on News Talk Radio 580 CFRA from 6 am to 9 am daily. Steve is a regular commentator on Ottawa’s A Morning Show and appears regularly as a guest on radio and TV news programs across the country. Steve is past chairman of the Canadian Press Broadcast Advisory Committee, and a winner of the Radio Television News Director’s Association’s national award for excellence in reporting.
His list of community involvements is lengthy, most recently receiving the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Ottawa Chapter Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser Award for 2009, and the 2008 in the Kanata Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award. Steve currently serves on the campaign cabinet for the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, The Mayor’s Leadership Roundtable on Homelessness and Housing, and the Board of the Ottawa Christmas Cheer Foundation. He is a special advisor to the Bruyere Continuing Care Foundation, and for more than twelve years has co-hosted of the Ottawa Cancer Foundation Telethon. He is honorary chairman of the Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre Gala, and an honorary life Rotarian since 1990 in recognition of his work for children with disabilities.
