Arash Madani has been let go by SportsNet after 16 years. Madani announced the news himself in an open letter to fans on social media.
In addition, he has also covered football - working the Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Eagles - the NBA, NHL, tennis, and the Olympics, as well as being a regular contributor to Tim & Friends.
In 2017 Madani was awarded the George Cross Award for outstanding broadcasting.
Although his time at SportsNet is ending abruptly, Madani is understanding, and thankful for everything he was able to accomplish.
t's not lost on me that a first-generation Canadian from Truro, N.S., was able to live out his dream. Maybe what meant most over the years were the number of Maritimers and those of Middle Eastern descent who would stop to tell me they appreciated how I represented them when they'd see me on air. The biggest lessons I've learned here: You never know the impact you can have on those around you
So what is next for Madani?
While he doesn't know 100%, he has hinted that he will continue in broadcasting.
Looking forward to what's next and being on your screens down the road. Until then, merci beaucoup, for everything. It's been a real privilege, mes amis,
