Tony Ambrogio, was born in London, Ontario and always wanted to do NFL and NHL play-by-play. I used to joke I knew I wanted to be involved in sports broadcasting when I was a day old! After attending Fanshawe College and graduating from the Broadcast Journalism Program, I got my first real media job at CFOS-AM radio in Owen Sound, Ontario in 1987. I did a bit of everything- from newscasting to sportscasting to reporting. I covered City Hall, Board of Education, various court proceedings and elections (municipal, provincial to federal). I did colour commentary on OHL games. I also hosted a nightly sports talk show called "Sportsticker." I was so lucky having the chance to talk to so many of my idols- from Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau, Dave Keon, Danny Gallivan to Tom Cheek. From there I went to work at Queen's Park for a brief period of time before being hired by the Score Television Network. I was able to cover the NHL playoffs, Memorial Cups, Grey Cups, Golf and Tennis tournaments, and Blue Jays baseball while I was at the Score. In 2009, I joined Sportsnet as a freelance reporter. Again, I have been fortunate to cover the World Series, NHL playoffs, and the Blue Jays. I currently work at TSN, TSN1050 Radio and TSN.CA and I teach at the College of Sports Media and Centennial College in Toronto. And I also am involved in descriptive video work for Accessible Media. I have also done live descriptive video for the visually impaired during the 2018 Winter Olympics for NBC. If you are looking for a freelance reporter/host for radio, print, web or TV I have plenty of experience and a wide range of ability.

I'm joined by veteran sports broadcaster Tony Ambrogio to discuss his amazing career and all the hilarious tales of interviews gone awry and embarrassing (and proud!) moments. He shares an absolutely EPIC story about meeting Jaromir Jagr, how an interview with his idol Dan Marino had him bursting out laughing, plus the time he was super frustrated chatting with a Toronto Raptors coach! The stories are just heating up, as he waxes poetic about discussions with Gordie Howe, Wayne Gretzky, Jean Beliveau, Bobby Hull, Vijay Singh and meeting Super Mario Lemieux! I then take Tony to ask for the AWFUL Steelers/Seahawks Super Bowl in 2006 where the referees SCREWED my Seahawks in favour of his Steelers! He shares his favourite moment from covering a World Series contest that you can't miss, and we discuss the collapse of the Maple Leafs and how there might be a silver lining. Then I reveal two beauty stories about an AWFUL interview of mine from my college days, plus the time I met my boy John Daly and how he reacted following him downing 12 Diet Cokes in 4 holes of golf!
The boys are joined by broadcaster and story teller Tony Ambrogio. His career has spanned three decades, from humble beginnings in Owen Sound to working for three major sports TV networks in Canada. Tony shares stories about his career, including his work at the Olympics. He also offers some hot takes about the OHL, the NHL and the NBA.
