He started building infrastructure for FM radio, creating the road towards the most profitable FM radio station in Canada. In the 1960s, Ted foresaw the future of broadcasting in television. By studying successful businesses in the industry, he successfully established 12 cable channels that catered multicultural broadcasts, creating a blueprint that symbolizes Canada’s multicultural identity.
