Television production veteran Paul Graham has joined the team at TSN as executive producer of live events, effective immediately.

Graham bids farewell to his work as an independent producer for the last 10 years, and will now be in charge of TSN and TSN2’s slate of 300-plus live productions each year, including 70 NHL regular season games, CFL games and big-ticket events such as the Grey Cup, and IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships — the latter being a major audience draw for the sportscaster.

Graham will report to TSN VP of production Mark Milliere.

‘His experience in live productions will be a tremendous asset as we continue to deliver extensive live coverage of a full slate of marquee events on TSN,’ commented Milliere in a Friday release.

A 30-year veteran of television production and Gemini Award winner, Graham has produced over 2,000 live sporting events including the Olympic Games and Pan American Games, and NHL, CFL, Major League Baseball games and the World Juniors.
