Calgary Radio: Broadcasting Legend, Wife Confirmed Dead

Billy Powers
Calgary police have a man in custody after former N/T  CHQR 770AM radio sports personality Billy Powers and his wife were found dead in Calgary's southwest community of Braeside.

While police are not formally naming the victims, QR77 has set up a tribute page for Powers — a former employee — and his wife Donna Lee.

Billy Powers retired in October 2009 after almost 50 years in the sports broadcasting and communications business.

According to the CBC, he worked mainly in radio, covering sports and the Calgary Stampeders football team.

Officials say the deaths are being treated as suspicious, and the homicide unit has been called in.
