Vancouver Canadians hire sports anchor
Ball club restructuring continues in preparation for season opener
Vancouver, BC – In further preparation for the June 19th season opener, the Vancouver Canadians baseball club have added sports anchor, Rob Fai to their roster as Team Broadcaster and Media Relations Manager.
According to owner Jake Kerr, Fai’ s passion for baseball and sports broadcasting coupled with his relationships in the Vancouver media market were strengths that catapulted his resume to the top of the pile of qualified candidates.
“We had applicants from across the country with many of the right credentials,” Kerr says. “Rob stood clearly above the rest as someone who could hit the ground running and help our organization deliver on its promise to deliver the best summer family entertainment value in Vancouver.”
Fai’s new job, which begins May 14th will include broadcasting a total of 26 games throughout the baseball season on TEAM 1040, as well as media and community outreach, game day media relations and media training support for the baseball team.
A former member of the National Baseball Program, Fai began his sports broadcasting career in 1997 with Shaw TV and worked in radio in Vancouver and Powell River before being hired at News 1130. Rob is also a Broadcast Arts Instructor at the Columbia Academy in Vancouver.
The Vancouver Canadians began restructuring the ball club’s management team in February this year after approval of a 25-year lease for baseball at Nat Bailey Stadium, with new local ownership by Lignum Investments Chairman Jake Kerr and A&W Canada Chairman Jeff Mooney.
