Theodore "Ted" Tevan (1 March 1933 – 12 August 2011){{cite news | url=https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/colourful-sports-radio-icon-ted-tevan-dies-at-78-1.683032 | title=Colourful sports radio icon Ted Tevan dies at 78 | date= 13 August 2011 | publisher=ctvmontreal.ca}} was a Canadian sports radio broadcaster.
Born in Kingston, Ontario,{{cite news | url=https://montrealgazette.com/Tevan+dies/5253906/story.html | title=Ted Tevan dies at 78 | first=Earl | last=Zukerman | newspaper=The Gazette | location=Montreal | date=14 August 2011 | accessdate=14 August 2011}} Tevan moved to Montreal in 1965 initially working in radio advertising. His career remained based in that city except for a short-lived sports talk show on the Toronto-based CKO in early 1989, and from then until 1991 at CKWW in Windsor, Ontario.{{cite news | newspaper=Windsor Star | title=SHOW BITS: CKWW and Tevan split | date=7 June 1991 | page=C2 }}
His first radio program was Sports Rap on Montreal's 1470 CFOX radio station, considered a key pioneering effort towards the development of sports radio in Canada. Tevan established a reputation as a radio maverick, often verbally jousting with his listeners and, in some cases, kicking them off the air with a jubilant "You're gone!"
Outside his broadcasting career, Tevan served as a defence witness in 2001 during the incest trial of boxing champion Dave Hilton, Jr.{{cite news | url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/allegations-irked-hilton-s-mother-1.269619 | title=Allegations irked Hilton's mother | date=7 February 2001 | publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation | first=Michelle | last=MacAfee }}
In January 2000, Tevan began a late night Tuesdays and Thursdays on CFMB 1280 shortly after his previous show on AM 940 (then CIQC) was cancelled due to a format change.{{cite news | title=Tevan back on radio | newspaper=The Gazette (Montreal) | date=6 January 2000 | page=D11 }} He previously hosted shows on the 600 frequency when it was known as CFCF (CFMB).{{cite news | title=The voice that won't die: Tevan planning to resurrect his career with a live show on Internet | first=Dave | last=Stubbs | newspaper=The Gazette (Montreal) | date=18 November 1999 | page=E3}}

On 11 August 2011, Tevan fell at his residence in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, fracturing his hip. The following day, he died from heart failure after an operation to repair the hip. A tribute on Team 990 was planned for the following Tuesday.{{cite news | url=http://cornwallfreenews.com/2011/08/youre-gone-radio-legend-ted-tevan-passes-away-at-78-august-13-2011/ | work=Cornwall Free News | title=-"You're Gone!!!"
