VANCOUVER — Former CBC radio journalist and personality Rick Cluff, who has died at the age of 74, is being remembered for allowing guests to be themselves on air and always supporting his colleagues and community. Cluff, a longtime sports reporter who went on to host The Early Edition morning show in Vancouver from 1997 until he retired in 2017, died Tuesday, shortly after being diagnosed with cancer, CBC reported. Palmer said that while sports were an important part of Cluff's career, he wanted people to know that he had other interests. The CBC reported that Cluff retired from his 41-year career with the broadcaster in 2017, after undergoing a quadruple heart bypass.
