The show, which launched the careers of Don Taylor, Barry Macdonald, Paul Carson, Dan Murphy, Dave Randorf, John Shorthouse, Scott Rintoul and Blake Price, continued on CKVU until 2001 before moving to CHEK for its final four years.

Before we had a universe of 24-hour sports channels and online content, Sports Page was must-watch TV for B.C. sports fans.

The brand-new exhibit, which opens Dec. 9, will feature a re-creation of the Sports Page anchor desk, interactive trivia games, items of memorabilia, inside stories and anecdotes as well as artifacts related to both the show and the events it covered.
