Charles Bradley Templeton[1][2] (October 7, 1915 – June 7, 2001) was a Canadian media figure and a former Christian evangelist.
[1] Eager to deepen his understanding about Christianity, Templeton attended Princeton Theological Seminary in the 1940s.
[2] Templeton was a close friend of fellow evangelist Billy Graham, and the two shared billing as they co-founded (along with Torrey Johnson) Youth for Christ International.
That same year, he was hired as executive managing editor of the Toronto Star, a position he held until 1964, when he entered politics.
Furthermore, he founded the advertising company Technamation Canada, working there until CTV hired him as director of public affairs in 1967.
[1] He later collaborated with Pierre Berton on the radio show Dialogue from 1966 to 1970 on CFRB, and from 1970 to 1984 on CKEY, where Templeton also served as the morning news reader.
[6] Templeton made his own unsuccessful designs of a child-resistant medicine cap, a cigarette filter and a pipeline.
In 1959, he married singer Sylvia Murphy, whom he met while producing a television drama; they divorced in 1976.
