TORONTO – Controversial radio host Dean Blundell is out at Rogers' Toronto sports radio station Sportsnet 590 The Fan as the station seeks a return to its complete sports format.
Rogers said Wednesday that the station’s new morning show, Sportsnet’s Starting Lineup with Brady & Price, will kick off February 27 featuring co-hosts Greg Brady and Elliott Price along with long-time Toronto sportscaster Hugh Burrill.
As a result, the two year old Dean Blundell & Co. show has been cancelled, effective immediately. Former Blundell co-host Andrew Walker will headline a new show on the station from 1:00 – 4:00 PM ET.
“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 program director Dave Cadeau, in the announcement. “The trio has incredible chemistry and their dynamic personalities are a perfect fit for our audience.”
