  • Toronto Today Rocks!!

    Greg Brady provides Toronto’s only invaluable source for news and information in the morning. The show makes one laugh and think at the same time. The guests are a fascinating mix of subject matter experts, and the show is truly interactive as calls are taken most days. As a long time listener of morning sports radio, I have transferred to GNR AM 640 every morning from 5:30am to 9:00am.

  • Made the Switch

    I have been a 590 listener for the two decades I've lived in the GTA. A month ago I made the switch five clicks up the dial to 640 for my long morning commutes. I'm glad I did.

    Greg Brady and Supriya Dwivedi are excellent hosts. The Morning Show is informative and entertaining. Wide ranging topics: current events, news, sports, politics. Greg Brady has a solid perspective and is knowledgable. Good guests.

    Give it a try.

  • Great addition to my list

    Generally a Radio One listener but a friend recently turned me on to 640. Genuinely enjoy the interviews with Greg. Gets to the point but respectful to guests. Good add to my daily news podcasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shark Week: Fact vs. Fear
Q: What sparked your interest in sharks and Shark Week, and how has public perception changed over time?
The guest explains that public fascination stems from a mix of media influence and real marine science, with ongoing work showing sharks as essential components of the ecosystem rather than mere threats, leading to more nuanced understanding.
Ottawa Grounds Billy Bishop Expansion
Q: Has privatizing airports got potential to happen, given current political and investment dynamics?
Kim Wright suggests that privatization is possible but highly contingent on political will, investment strategies, and the alignment of federal and provincial goals; the episode frames it as a headline issue that may or may not translate into concrete policy.
The FIFA FanFest Ticket Fiasco
Q: So what's some of the data you found out about the FanFest events and maybe what the city hoped to bring in revenue wise and what the reality was?
Isaac explains that the city aimed to offset FanFest costs with premium ticket sales, projecting around three million dollars, but early data showed only about 37% of premium tickets were sold and overall revenue was much lower, increasing the burden on general city revenues.
Porter Cancellation Sparks Debate Over Who Was Really at Fault
Q: How has the approach to tantrums evolved over time, particularly in terms of what skills a child needs for independence?
The emphasis has shifted from stopping behavior to building underlying skills that help a child regulate emotions, transition, and respond to stress, with attention to the child's developmental needs and the why behind the behavior.
Porter Cancellation Sparks Debate Over Who Was Really at Fault
Q: There's no fail-safe program to ensure a child doesn't act up in public, but what should parents focus on in those moments?
Key guidance is to acknowledge the child's fear, explain what you're going to do to help, stay close, and use supportive language to communicate safety and boundaries, so the child learns to cope in the moment and develops skills for the future.
