Clyde Gilmour, CM (8 June 1912 in Calgary – 7 November 1997 in Toronto)[1] was a Canadian broadcaster and print journalist, mostly known for his half-century career with CBC Radio.

Gilmour was raised in Medicine Hat, Alberta, where he attended Alexandra High School until graduation in 1929.

On 5 October 1956, he broadcast the first episode of Gilmour's Albums, a weekly music programme on CBC Radio which continued for more than 40 years until 14 June 1997.

[5][6] Selections on the programme were generally drawn from his personal collection which eventually included 10,000 vinyl records and 4000 Compact Discs.

[8][9] Gilmour's Albums established a record longevity for single-host CBC Radio shows.
