Stop me if you've heard this one before, but Greg Brady is leaving The Fan 590 morning show. The same was true in February 2016 when Brady was let go from the Brady and Walker show, although that show was airing at 1pm because Brady and Walker were taken off mornings in favour of Dean Blundell.
Dean Blundell was not a success, and Brady was reinstated as Fan 590 morning man in February 2017, this time alongside Elliott Price and Hugh Burrill. Burrill is the last man standing as Price was let go in January of this year.
Price was replaced by Ashley Docking back in February. Replacing Greg Brady on the morning show is recent Toronto Mike'd guest Scott MacArthur and he'll be joined by Mike Zigomanis. Burrill will be heard 5:30-6am.
In March 2017, I wrote about the now infamous picture of Fan 590 weekday hosts under the title The White Men of The Fan 590. It's interesting to note that five of the nine men featured are no longer heard on the station. Bob McCown, Damien Cox, Elliott Price and Greg Brady have been removed and Andrew Walker was relocated to Vancouver. The Fan is clearly in a state of flux.
I quite like Greg and consider him a pal. I wish him the absolute best and feel for all my friends trying to create compelling content in this tumultuous industry. Here are links to episodes of Toronto Mike'd that featured Greg Brady.

Update:
Sportsnet just announced more significant changes to their weekday lineup. Tim & Sid will now be 5-7pm and Jeff Blair, Stephen Brunt and Richard Deitsch have been bumped down to 2-5pm. Good Show with Ben Ennis and JD Bunkis is now 9am to noon. In other words, everything is changing at 590.
