Longtime Montreal sportscaster Abe Hefter has assumed a limited role on local Bell Media radio stations in order to devote most of his energy to teaching.
Hefter, for years a fixture with CJAD Sports, recently accepted a full-time
appointment at Concordia University in the Department of Journalism
as a lecturer and undergraduate program director. " I had been teaching at
Concordia for about a dozen years, part-time, initially within Continuing
Education and, more recently, within the journalism department," he says. " I enjoyed
being back at school so much I decided to head back to the
classroom as a student: I'm working towards my MA in Journalism Studies at
Concordia."

Hefter says he quickly developed a
passion for teaching , "the same passion I have for radio. So when the
opportunity came up to teach, full-time, at Concordia, I went for it.
It's been an amazing experience: incredibly rewarding."
For Hefter, what has
been doubly rewarding is the fact that he has been able to continue to connect
with Montreal radio listeners as the host of TSN 690's weekend morning show:
The Locker Room. He is on from 7 am to 9 a.m. "It's been a blast talking sports and
sharing the airwaves with the very talented likes of Amanda Stein, Eric Thomas,
Robyn Flynn and Dave Kaufman," he says. "At Concordia and TSN 690, I've been able to enjoy
the best of both worlds."
Hefter is also part of the Habs pre-game show on the weekends with Flynn.
Hefter joined CJAD in January of 2002. He was with the former CJFM/FM 96 from 1981 to 1985 before departing for Vancouver.
