Following his departure from Queen Elizabeth High School at the age of 17 years, Sarty held several jobs including that of banker, RCAF cadet, and representative with the Household Finance Corporation (HFC). Also a talented musician, Sarty became leader of a small dance band performing at various local venues in Halifax including the CBC-Radio Halifax studios. In 1951 Sarty married Joan Elizabeth Bartlett of Halifax. They had four children, Glenda, Roger, George and Leigh. In addition to his income from HFC, Sarty subsidized his earnings by filling in with various dance bands. In 1954, his love of music led to the position of producer for CBC-Radio Halifax where he produced a wide range of recitals, jazz, dramas, variety and information programs including Atlantic Symphony broadcasts, AM Chronicle, Street of Dreams, Strings n' Things, The Don Messer Show, and The Downeasters. In 1958 Sarty became producer and director for all departments of CBC-TV Halifax. Production included documentaries for the department of Agriculture and Resources, the farm program Country Calendar, studio and film dramas, sports remotes, current affairs serials, specials and variety series including Gazette, a weekly suppertime program, Don Messer's Jubilee and Singalong Jubilee. In 1963 Sarty accepted the position of public affairs unit manager with CBC-TV Toronto. Soon after, he was reassigned to the current affairs department. In 1964 he became producer for the weekly entertainment news magazine Toronto File. Following three seasons with Toronto File, Sarty moved on to produce, direct and write for the CBC television network programs Heritage, Telescope and several film specials. In 1967 he was hired as executive producer for the CBC current affairs TV program Take 30, changing the look of the show and putting together the on-camera trio of Adrienne Clarkson, Paul Soles and Moses Znaimer. In addition to Take 30, Sarty also established and functioned as executive producer for the prime time special Adrienne at Large, and Take 60, the expanded evening version of Take 30. During this time Sarty also formed a jazz orchestra with his son Roger Sarty, acting as band leader, composer and performer. In 1975 he left Take 30 to head the public affairs television program The Fifth Estate, taking with him Adrienne Clarkson as part of his host line-up. In addition to The Fifth Estate, Sarty also developed and executive produced the current affairs program Worldwide and its French-language counterpart Télémonde. In the early 1980's Sarty left The Fifth Estate to work as director for the consumer affairs program Marketplace. In 1986 he became executive producer for a new CBC-TV talk show, Gzowski and Company, hosted by Peter Gzowski, a program that ran from 1986 to 1987. Following the cancellation of Gzowski and Company, Sarty retired from the CBC, taking up residence with his wife in Cape Cod, Massachusetts where, from the late 1990s onward, Sarty joined several writing groups such as the Chatham Writer's Workshop and Chatham Memoirs Group that met at the Eldridge Public Library in Chatham, Massachusetts. In retirement he also wrote his unpublished memoirs. Glenn Sarty died in Hyannis, Massachusetts on Cape Cod on 6 February 2007.Source:PrivateOther accession no.:2009-0010 VSA -
