Former colleagues and friends are mourning the loss of radio and television personality Geoff Rohoman, who passed this week at the age of 41.
Rohoman, who had been battling colorectal cancer, had most recently been heard on Toronto’s 680 NewsRadio (CFTR-AM). After almost two decades with Rogers Sports & Media, he was released by the company in January upon his return from medical leave. Most recently focused on “infotainment” reporting, prior to joining 680 in 2014, Rohoman worked as an anchor and reporter at Sportsnet 590 The Fan (CJCL-AM) and anchored at 1130 NewsRadio (CKWX-AM) Vancouver from 2006 to 2010.
He got his start in broadcasting at 640 (CFIQ-AM) Toronto, after attending both Seneca Polytechnic and Humber College.

Rohoman had done a recent round of media appearances in March raising awareness of the rise of colorectal cancer cases in those under 50. He’d been grieving the loss of good friend and battle rap legend Bishop Brigante, who passed away from the same cancer in mid-April at the age of 46.
Reaon Ford, who worked alongside Rohoman at News 1130, told Broadcast Dialogue that “the world is worse off without him in it.”
“He was a talented broadcaster, a big-hearted goofball, and a passionate sports fan — who is single-handedly responsible for my love of UFC — but most of all, he was a relentlessly loyal friend,” said Ford. “I will miss him immensely.”
