Mudryk joins TSN on-air team


TORONTO – Sports anchor Brian Mudryk is making the move from CTV Edmonton to TSN in Toronto.

He makes his TSN debut tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 22) on the 2 a.m. ET/11 p.m. PT edition.

Mudryk (right) will co-host the 10 p.m. ET and 2 a.m. ET weekend editions of SportsCentre alongside Holly Horton, as well as report on sports stories in the Toronto area. Football fans may recognize Mudryk from his contributions as a sideline reporter during TSN’s CFL broadcasts in Edmonton.

Born in Athabasca, Alta., Mudryk was raised in nearby Boyle, Alta. – population 850, and the hometown of fellow SportsCentre host Jay Onrait (wonder what the odds of that are?).

Prior to spending the past four years as a sports anchor and reporter for CTV Edmonton (2001 to 2005), Mudryk anchored the weekend and late night sports for A-Channel in Winnipeg (1999 to 2001). He began his broadcasting career in Lloydminster, Alta. at CKSA TV and Radio as a reporter, covering a wide range of topics (1998 to 1999).

A passionate sports enthusiast, Mudryk’s eight-year career includes covering the 2004 Brier in Saskatoon, the Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium and the 2002 Grey Cup. He has also interviewed such sports legends as Jack Nicklaus, Mike Weir and Wayne Gretzky.

Mudryk is a graduate of the Radio and Television Arts program at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.
