Tarzan Dan Freeman swung into the radio scene in the early '80s and has been a major presence in the Canadian radio-TV "jungle" ever since.

From there the man born Dan Fisico built an impressive resume that includes stops at CFTR, CISS-FM, CHUM-AM and FM Toronto, CKDX Newmarket, Ont., CKXY Vancouver and CFFR and CFCN Calgary.

Tarzan Dan has also done several national radio shows and a national airline show. His TV work has also been extensive, hosting YTV's Hit List for half of its 14-season run. Tarzan Dan has also been seen on the MuchMoreMusic show Listed. He's a four-time winner of Record Magazine's Canadian Radio Announcer of the Year and a former Gemini Award nominee. As of 2009, he was morning man at CHSU-FM (Sun FM) in Kelowna, B.C.
