Greg has a gig on The Tom O’Connell Show every Thursday from 11:30 a.m. until noon ET on CKTB in Niagara Falls, Ont., and CJBK in London, Ont.
This week Greg and Tom chatted about the CBC landing the 2018 and 2020 Olympics, TiVo coming to Canada and attempting to answer your TV questions. (The callers  had some tough ones for me this week.) The segment starts at the 28-minute mark.
