Brian Williams
His trustworthy and credible approach to sports television has earned him a reputation as one of the greatest broadcasters of this generation.
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 virtually every Olympic Games since and every high-profile amateur sporting event around the globe.
In addition to his work on the Olympics and amateur sports, Williams is also heavily involved in the CFL on TSN broadcasts, conducting weekly interviews with key newsmakers in the Canadian Football League. Rounding out Williams' all-encompassing role on CTV/TSN is play-by-play duties for the men's and women's Rogers Cup tennis tournaments each summer in Toronto and Montreal.
Williams' respected broadcast style has endeared him to millions of Canadians from coast-to-coast. 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.
A decorated sports broadcaster for more than 30 years, Brian Williams joined CTV/TSN in June 2006 and will play a leading role in shaping and delivering the networks' Olympic broadcast coverage as the prime time host of the 2010 Winter Games from Vancouver and the 2012 Summer Games from London.
He is the recipient of six Gemini Awards and two Foster Hewitt Awards.
