  • 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.

AI Against Cancer: The Future of Early Detection
Q: What are the practical implications of AI in healthcare and public safety that you're watching right now?
AI can speed up cancer detection through real-time analysis, aid law enforcement with real-time crowd management and translation, and push for smarter, more cost-efficient city services, but raises concerns about data privacy and pricing based on inferred preferences.
AI Against Cancer: The Future of Early Detection

The discussion emphasizes the need for homegrown AI models to ensure control over critical health tech and avoid dependence on U.S.-centric platforms, arguing that domestic companies like Coheer can lead with sovereignty and resilience.
When the Protectors Need Protection
Q: Tell me, flush that out for me, the exposure to just all this trauma in the workplace.
