Toronto Today with Greg Brady
Corus Radio Network
Greg has been with CORUS and AM640 since Fall 2019 when he crossed over from Sportsnet 590, the Fan after 9 1/2 years wanting to do something more challenging and diverse than "just" sports. After success early in his career in Detroit co-hosting the top-rated morning sports talk show in the entire state of Michigan from 2002 to 2007, Greg came to Toronto and CORUS/AM640 to co-host "The Bill Watters Show" when the company had the broadcast rights to the Toronto Maple Leafs. His time at Sportsnet 590, The Fan began in 2010, and also featured a successful run in morning drive in two incarnations, between 2011 and 2019, so morning audiences are already very familiar in Toronto with his knowledge and personality. Greg has broadcast play-by-play from several Super Bowls for radio in the United Kingdom, and handled OHL play-by-play for the Windsor Spitfires and Saginaw Spirit from 2002-2008. His radio recipe is to "play the hits" and "keep things moving", with a mix of news, politics, social commentary, sports, and entertainment. The things people talk about at their dining room table, backyard barbecues, and at kids' sporting events are the things he wants the show to be about. Greg's current joy is navigating two teenage boys through as he describes it, "an era of adjustment" with his wife of 17 years. His hobbies include making music playlists for runs at the gym, tennis, reading music biographies, and watching documentaries when live news and sports isn't consuming him.

Think Tank with Chloe Brown & Steve Paikin
10/7/2025
Greg Brady and the panel of: Steve Paikin, Author and Broadcaster, host of The Paikin Podcast, Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate, Discuss: 1 - Doesn’t waiting 7+ months tell Torontonians that congestion and easing traffic crunches isn’t exactly a top priority at City Hall? 2 - The school boards were bound to say that - but I actually think when a letter is sent from 22 mayors urging the Premier to keep some element of speed cameras in - especially in school zones, it may be something he ends up listening on, yes? 3 - October 7th - was a Saturday morning 2 years ago - I admit not quite seeing what ended up happening that day would lead to where we are now - what do you remember about initial thoughts of the attack - and how the West would react to it? It goes without saying - there’s a clear demographic shift re: YOUNGER PEOPLE - on how Israel as a construct is viewed. That was not necessarily brand new, but more pronounced.

Think Tank with Ben Mulroney and Eric Lombardi
10/3/2025
Greg Brady & the panel of: Ben Mulroney, Host of the Ben Mulroney Show 9 to Noon on the Corus Radio Network, Eric Lombardi, Founder of More Neighbours Toronto, Discuss: 1. UK terror attack has grabbed everyone’s attention. More sad than furious watching celebrations in London after it. There’s only one religion we’d allow to be victimized like this - plain & simple. What are we supposed to think when we hear this/see what we saw? 2 - Toronto Regional Real Estate Board says the number of homes sold in September was up 8.5 per cent from the same month last year. And most importantly for buyers - prices have dropped by almost 5% year over year - to just over a million dollars for all home types - condos included. If housing affordability has improved, why does it still feel unaffordable? 3. Is it time for Canada to embrace two-tier health care? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
