TORONTO – With Sportsnet magazine poised to hit newsstands across the country on Thursday, high profile personalities Bob McCown, Stephen Brunt, Scott Feschuk, Greg Brady and Jim Lang have been named as the publication’s official team of columnists.
McCown is the host of Prime Time Sports on Sportsnet Radio The FAN 590, while Brady and Lang co-host the station’s morning show. Brunt is lead sports columnist for The Globe and Mail, and Feschuk is best known for his weekly column in Rogers-owned Maclean’s on pop culture and politics.
"We are blessed with some of the most powerful and engaging voices in the world of sport in our pages," said publisher and editor-in-chief Steve Maich, in the announcement. "It’s truly a dream lineup of columnists to complement an outstanding roster of feature writers, led by Gare Joyce. We promised Sportsnet magazine would look and read like no other magazine Canadians have ever picked up, and this group of writers will help us fulfill that promise."
Sportsnet magazine will publish bi-weekly with 26 issues per year and launch with a circulation of 100,000 copies.
