Rick Brace

The former President of Rogers Media has decades of experience in the sports broadcasting industry. He got his start as a technician at CBC, Canada’s public broadcaster, and worked his way up the ladder, serving as a director, producer and executive producer at CBC Sports.

He switched over to TSN — the equivalent of ESPN north of the border — moving into management and becoming the head of programming and production and then president of the network, which included TSN and its French sister station RDS.

By the time he took over as Rogers Media President in 2015, Brace was overseeing broadcast TV, 56 radio stations and 50 print publications.
