He was also a football commentator for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League, hosting the first-ever post-game show on CBC Vancouver in the 1950s and helping to create a football show for CKVU in the 1970s upon that station's launch in the 1970s.[4] He was also a regular part of broadcast teams for the Canadian Open Golf Championship.[2]
He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame's media division in 1982,[5] the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame as a builder in 1992,[6] and the BC Sports Hall of Fame's media division in 2002.[7]
His son Bill Good Jr. is also a retired Canadian television journalist, best known as a longtime radio and television news anchor on stations in the Vancouver market.[8]
