TORONTO – The Canadian Football League and Corus Radio are teaming up to present the 97th Grey Cup from Calgary on the Grey Cup Corus Radio Network.

“We’re thrilled that our fans can listen to all the excitement of the Canada’s largest single day sporting event on Corus stations,” said Canadian Football League Commissioner Mark Cohon.

“Nothing brings Canadians together like the Grey Cup, and our radio coverage on Corus stations as well as Radio Canada, will help us bring the Grey Cup to Canadians.”

Corus will deliver all the excitement of the Grey Cup on Sunday November 29th on 11 English- language stations with a weekly listening audience of 1.7 million, said John Vos, Program Director at AM 770 CHQR in Calgary.

Fans across Canada can also listen to the game on SIRIUS Satellite Radio Hardcore Sports Radio (Channel 98) and Sports Express (Channel 97).

The game will also be broadcast in French on CKAC SPORTS 730 in Montreal, while Radio Canada will provide a French-language Grey Cup broadcast in western Canada.

In addition, Canadian Armed Forces Radio and Television will carry the game to Canadians serving in the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

The Grey Cup Corus Radio Network includes:

610 NL Radio Kamloops

“Corus is planning more than six hours of live game day coverage designed to take fans across Canada into the game,” Vos said.

A two hour pre-game show hosted by Corus radio’s Jock Wilson starts at 2:30 (Mountain Standard Time).

Play-by-play duties will be split between broadcast teams from the two CFL teams meeting in the Grey Cup game.

And the Corus broadcast team plans to take fans into the locker rooms of both teams during their one-hour post-game show.

“The Grey Cup is a Canadian icon, and we’re pleased to share it with so many of our fellow Canadians,” Cohon said.
