Patrick Burns (1921 – June 8, 1996) was a Canadian radio talk show host and newspaper reporter.
He was born in Montreal, Quebec, but began his radio career in England with the BBC as a sports reporter covering the world hockey championships in London in 1949.
In 1965, Pat hosted a series of programs from Selma, Alabama, where Martin Luther King Jr. was helping to change the United States forever.
His dismissal was widely protested but the decision stood, and Pat returned briefly to newspaper reporting before joining CKGM in Montreal later in the decade.
In 1996 Pat Burns was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame following his death earlier that year in Vancouver, British Columbia.
