Greg Brady (born 1971) is a Canadian sports radio host on Sportsnet 590 The FAN, and is a regular pundit scheduled on the docket of BBC Radio 5 Live show ''Fighting Talk'' and holds the record for most wins on the show, alternating that honour with John Rawling over the years. ==Biography== Born and raised in London, Ontario, Brady attended the University of Western Ontario where he studied Political Science. After finishing his four years, he then completed Fanshawe College's journalism program. Brady began his career in broadcasting at CIXX-FM, the campus radio station of Fanshawe College. He moved on to CKLW in Windsor, Ontario, then joining WDFN in the late 1990s. He appeared in various broadcast roles at WDFN before he settled into co-hosting the Jamie and Brady show, with Jamie Samuelsen, from 2002 to 2007.〔George B. Eichorn, (2003), (''Detroit's Sports Broadcasters on the Air'', page 112 ). Arcadia Publishing. ISBN 0-7385-3166-9: "Jamie and Brady Show heard weekday mornings on WDFN-AM. Greg is a huge hockey enthusiast who also started on WDFN as an update anchor. Brady also co-hosts the ''Ice Time'' hockey show on WDFN."〕 Brady was fired along with co-host Samuelsen and update host Matt Shepard in November 2007. Both Samuelsen and Shepard were eventually rehired by WDFN, leaving Brady as the only member of that show not to return to Detroit radio. As a non-American citizen without employment, Brady was forced to move back to his native Canada where he co-hosted ''The Bill Watters Show'' on AM640 Toronto Radio.〔(''Greg Brady scores great gig'' ), Press Release: AM640 Toronto Radio welcomes Greg Brady. January 03, 2008〕〔Toronto Star, (''TheStar.com'', Jan 04, 2008 ): "NEW HOST: ''AM 640 Toronto'' has tabbed Greg Brady as the permanent replacement for Jeff Marek on The Bill Watters Show."〕 He has also presented ''Leafs Lunch'' on the same station.〔The Globe and Mail, (''Globeandmail.com'', April 29, 2008 ): "In Toronto, Brian Duff has quit AM 640's ''Leafs Lunch''. Program director Gord Harris said the workload for Duff, who is a prime-time host for NHL Network, had become burdensome. Afternoon drive co-host Greg Brady has taken over for Duff."〕 Brady also has been an ice hockey play-by-play broadcaster for six seasons in the Ontario Hockey League. He spent five years as the first-ever broadcaster for the Saginaw Spirit,〔(OurSports Central ), February 4, 2005: "Brady has been the voice of the Saginaw Spirit since the team's inception in 2002-03"〕 and spent the 2007-08 season broadcasting for the Windsor Spitfires. Brady is father of two young boys and is married to fellow sports journalist and women's hockey pundit Rachel Brady. He resigned from AM640 on June 23, 2010 in order to pursue a more favourable schedule at the FAN 590 to accommodate his family life. On August 16, 2010, Brady made his debut on the Fan 590 on the 12PM-3PM timeslot with ''The Greg Brady Show''. On September 13, 2010, Brady made his hosting debut for ''Hockey Central at Noon'', co-hosted with Doug MacLean and Nick Kypreos, on the 12PM-1PM timeslot, with ''The Greg Brady Show'' being reduced to the 1PM-3PM timeslot. On February 10, 2011, Brady was reassigned to the 5:30AM-9AM morning show on an interim basis after Andrew Krystal was removed from that timeslot, while still maintaining his co-hosting job on the ''Hockey Central at Noon'' timeslot. On March 10, 2011, Brady was officially named the new morning show co-host on the Fan 590, alongside Jim Lang.〔() 〕 Daren Millard was named as Brady's replacement as co-host on ''Hockey Central at Noon''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greg Brady (broadcaster)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
