Calgary broadcast legend Darrel Janz has died at the age of 83.
For decades, viewers tuned in to CTV Calgary to see Darrel anchor the news and report on inspiring Albertans.
He inspired thousands of young journalists and continued telling Calgarians' stories until his last days.
He worked on the air for 61 years, including 50 years bringing the news to southern Alberta on CTV Calgary.
Darrel grew up in the small town of Main Centre, Sask.
He spoke about those days in a documentary, A Life in News, that first aired in 2013, produced by longtime CTV colleague, video journalist Kevin Green.
"Life centred around two things: the church and the school," Darrel said in the documentary.
