A bit of a left-field hire but he does have broadcasting experience as executive director of CBC Sports and senior management experience generally as well as being a Harvard Law grad, so he's no dummy. I'm just thankful Doug Ford didn't give it to Ezra Levant or someone from the Sun or someone whose appointment would signal a desire to sell off/privatize TVO.

CBC has a sports department?  who knew?

It was CTV that eliminated sports coverage across the country and in local newscasts. CBC has always had excellent sports coverage.
