Toronto all-sports radio station Sportsnet 590 The Fan cancels Blundell show
TORONTO — The Dean Blundell experiment is over at Toronto radio station Sportsnet 590 The Fan.
His morning show was cancelled Wednesday, less than two years after his debut on the all-sports station after a long run as a rock radio personality. The replacement show will be co-hosted by Greg Brady and Elliott Price and feature local sportscaster Hugh Burrill, the station said in a release.
“Greg, Elliott and Hugh will greet our listeners each morning with engaging sports conversation, enthusiastic debate, and wide-ranging opinions,” said program director Dave Cadeau. “The show will be entertaining, passionate, and fun — all the while focusing on the topics Toronto sports fans care about most. The trio has incredible chemistry and their dynamic personalities are a perfect fit for our audience.”
Blundell joined the Fan 590 about a year after his departure from 102.1 The Edge. He had a run of nearly 13 years at the rock station, but frequently drew the ire of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.
