Changed the title of the thread to reflect its discussion of all Toronto media
The FAN 590 is undergoing a major shake-up as a raft of on-air personalities were let go Thursday morning.
According to sources, the departed include morning co-hosts Don Landry and Gord Stellick, mid-morning host Mike Hogan and news announcer Rick Ralph. In addition, Jack Armstrong’s mid-afternoon show has been killed, though Armstrong and co-host Eric Smith may remain on staff.
Rogers Sportsnet’s Daren Millard, host of the noon hockey show, has been replaced by Greg Brady. Millard will likely return to a full-time job at Sportsnet.
Brady was hired away from AM 640, where he co-hosted The Bill Watters Show. His departure from 640, which recently axed its noontime Leafs Lunch show, leaves Watters’ future in doubt as his show has languished in the ratings and has not made any headway against The FAN.
Brady will host a two-hour hockey show, followed by an hour of general sports talk leading into Bob McCown’s Prime Time Sports at 4 p.m.
That means the FAN has basically remade its entire schedule, with the exception of McCown’s show.
It is not known who will replace the morning duo who have been together since 2004, nor who will replace Hogan, another longtime FAN employee.
