One of British Columbia91Ƶs pre-eminent sports media talents is bringing his talents to Black Press Media.

, known to generations of B.C. sports fans as 91ƵThe Moj91Ƶ, will share his 91ƵMoj On Sports91Ƶ podcasts under the new Black Press 91Ƶ91Ƶ umbrella, with plans also in place to write a regular sports-oriented column for online readers.

Marjanovich, the current play-by-play voice for the CFL91Ƶs B.C. Lions, has been a fixture on the provincial media scene for more than 25 years. He began as a writer for Sports Vue, and parlayed that into a longtime sports talk radio career that has spanned two decades.

Marjanovich, whose list of contacts within the sports world is legendary, began his podcasts after sports radio station TSN 1040 in Vancouver was shut down in early 2021.

91ƵI knew Rick O91ƵConnor (president and chief executive officer of Black Press Group Ltd.) and after 1040 got blown up, he mentioned potentially doing something with Donnie (fellow radio show host Don Taylor) and myself,91Ƶ said Marjanovich.

Taylor began a show with another media outlet, so Marjanovich said he then swung back around to see if there was interest in his podcast.

91ƵIt was a great partnership,91Ƶ he said of the connection with Black Press. 91ƵI was looking for platforms to promote it and this worked well. I91Ƶm looking forward to it.91Ƶ

Peter McCully, podcast producer for Black Press Media, was pleased to see Marjanovich join the Today in BC family.

91ƵBob91Ƶs knowledge of the B.C. sports scene is second to none,91Ƶ said McCully. 91ƵHis interviews with athletes and other celebrities within the sports world are engaging and interesting. He digs for the deeper stories, which makes for some compelling listening.91Ƶ

The podcast format is an appealing one, said Marjanovich.

91ƵDoing sports talk radio, a lot of people tune in to listen to you as well as your guest,91Ƶ he said. 91ƵIn this case, I mostly just shut up and let people tell their stories. It91Ƶs about them.91Ƶ

The Moj On Sports podcasts are called 91Ƶbios91Ƶ.

91ƵIt91Ƶs interviews with people talking about their journeys,91Ƶ explained Marjanovich. 91ƵTheir beginnings, their influences, key points in the journey and how everything came about. It91Ƶs a lot of fun.91Ƶ

Some names well-known to sports fans are already on the list.

Former B.C. Lions coach Wally Buono, ex-QB Travis Lulay, NHL star turned broadcaster Jeremy Roenick, beloved former Vancouver Canucks enforcer Gino Odjick and many more will share their tales.

91ƵIt91Ƶs enlightening hearing their stories,91Ƶ said Marjanovich. 91ƵVery interesting listening to the twist and turns and just learning more about them. The format is something I really enjoy. A podcast is evergreen. I can listen to Jim Hughson91Ƶs story six days from now or six months from now and it91Ƶs just as compelling.91Ƶ
