Weekends with Rob Fai

Rob Fai is the national weekend voice of Corus Radio, bringing his warm, conversational style and deep regional roots to audiences from coast to coast. A veteran broadcaster with more than two decades of experience on the West Coast, Rob is best known to listeners as the Hall of Fame play‑by‑play voice of the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club and has long been a familiar presence on-air where he connected with audiences on both TSN sports radio, and 730 CKNW. At his core, Rob is a storyteller who cares about the people behind the headlines. Whether he’s breaking down politics, revisiting local sports history, or inviting listeners to call in with their own perspectives, he approaches every show with curiosity, empathy, and a genuine desire to reflect the communities he serves. When he’s not on‑air, Rob is an Instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in its Journalism faculty and still maintains his relationship with the Canadians. Little known fact, Rob has his barbering certification and has been known to pop up around town clippers in hand ready to help those in his community who could use a fresh start to the week.
