Скачать или смотреть 2008: John Brunton Tribute Video

Canadian Idol. Project Runway Canada. Canada’s Got Talent. The Amazing Race Canada, Big Brother Canada, Top Chef Canada. Open Mike with Mike Bullard. The JUNO Awards, twenty times. The highest rated shows in Canadian television consistently for the last four decades. This is the legacy of John Brunton, who has produced this and more for Canadian television since 1979.

This tribute video, played in honor of John’s induction into CMW’s Music and Broadcast Industry Hall Of Fame, describes the very essence of the man, as told by friends, family and colleagues.

He is renowned for a fierce passion for his work, and for his ability to work in any genre: dramas, documentaries, award shows, comedy and variety series, sports, music, reality TV. John Brunton did it, usually did it first, and always did it better than anyone else. He did for Canadian Television what it took Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson, Dick Clark and Don Kirshner to do south of the border: reflect a nation’s talents back to themselves, especially Rock Music.

With his Stetson hat and flamboyant moustache, John Brunton seemed like a Cowboy Impresario. He didn’t just work with anybody who’s anybody, he worked with everybody. John’s ability to recognize current trends, source ideas and then transform them into extraordinary television led Canada National Newspaper The Globe and Mail to note that “John Brunton has airwaves between his ears” and that he is “always thinking about television, moving through ideas like water.”
