TORONTO (February 8, 2017) Canada’s #1 sports radio station is about to shake up your morning with the all-new morning show Sportsnet’s Starting Lineup with Brady & Price on Sportsnet 590 The FAN.  The show, which launches February 27, features co-hosts Greg Brady and Elliott Price along with long-time Toronto sportscaster Hugh Burrill.

“Greg, Elliott and Hugh will greet our listeners each morning with engaging sports conversation, enthusiastic debate, and wide-ranging opinions. The show will be entertaining, passionate, and fun – all the while focusing on the topics Toronto sports fans care about most,” said Dave Cadeau, Program Director, Sportsnet 590 The FAN.  “The trio has incredible chemistry and their dynamic personalities are a perfect fit for our audience.”

As of February 27, the Sportsnet 590 The FAN lineup is as follows:

  • 5:30 to 9 a.m. ET – Sportsnet’s Starting Lineup with Brady & Price
  • 9 to Noon ET – The Jeff Blair Show
  • Noon to 1 p.m. ET – Hockey Central @ Noon
  • 1 to 4 p.m. ET – The Andrew Walker Show
  • 4 to 7 p.m. ET – Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown & Damien Cox

“In my 17-plus years in this market, I can say with a tremendous sense of pride that this is the best sports radio lineup I have ever seen. We have big personalities who have a deep knowledge of sports and an unparalleled enthusiasm that connects with our listeners. We have taken what was a great lineup and made it extraordinary,” said Cadeau.

As a result of today’s announcement, the Dean Blundell & Co. show has been cancelled, effective immediately.

“Dean Blundell is an incredibly talented broadcaster. The decision to part was based purely on a desire to return to a more complete sports format. I enjoyed working with Dean and wish him the very best,” said Cadeau.
