What better way to start your “Cross Country Showcase” experience than with a piece of Canadiana and the most recognized Canadian patriarch of TV sports broadcasting from coast to coast! A decorated sports announcer for more than 30 years, Brian Williams will anchor
CTV's and TSN's prime-time Olympic coverage, playing a leading role in shaping and delivering the networks' coverage of the 2010 Winter Games from Vancouver, British Columbia and 2012 Summer Games from London, England. Considered the dean of Olympic sports broadcasting in Canada, Williams is a champion of amateur sports. He reported on his first Olympics at the 1976 Summer Games from Montreal and has covered a total of 12 Olympic Games, as well as every high-profile amateur sporting event around the globe. Born in Winnipeg, Williams began calling university basketball play-by-play in 1967. He started his professional career in radio with Toronto's CHUM. After a year at CFRB Radio in Toronto, Williams joined CBLT and remained with CBC until his move to CTV/TSN in June, 2006.
Rex Murphy is one of Canada's most respected opinion leaders. His witty intellect and profound insight into issues affecting Canadians are the reasons why they tune in regularly to his weekly CBC radio show, Cross Country Checkup, watch him on CBC TV's The National, and read his column in The National Post. Rex Murphy is a stimulating speaker, accomplished storyteller, and knows what makes Canadians tick. He has an innate ability to speak on a variety of topics and provide a fresh and honest perspective on the issues facing Canadians today in the most profound yet digestible way. Cross Country Checkup is Canada's only national open-line radio program, broadcast live across the nation every Sunday afternoon. Rex Murphy was born and raised in Newfoundland, where he graduated from Memorial University. A Rhodes scholar, he attended Oxford University (along with U.S. President Bill Clinton). Murphy's primary interest is in language and English literature, but he also gained an insider's view of the political world when he worked as executive assistant to the Newfoundland Liberal Party leader and ran twice as a Liberal candidate in the provincial elections.
