Dylan Brown was concieved, born, raised, and still lives in Thornhill, Ontario. From a young age, Dylan always had a passion for radio, even waking up early to call his favourite morning show to get on the air as a young child, on almost a weekley basis. A trip to his favourite station at the tender age of 12 only solidified him knowing what he wanted to do with his life, much to the dissapointment of his dentist father(Dylan was supposed to be a dentist, acording to his father if you haven't caught on yet). This passion carried on to high-school where Dylan became a producer for the morning announcements and radio station. Post high-school he took a year off to get ahead of the game and interned @ AM640 as an assistant producer. At the conclusion of Dylan's first year @ Seneca, Dylan was hired on at Toronto's FAN590 where he currently works as a technical producer where he gets to work in radio, and listen to sports talk all at the same time(a dream for him), as well he is one of the PD's for S@Y Radio. Dylan is a passionate Boston Red Sox, Celtics, Toronto Rock, and Argonauts fan. And thoroughly enjoys the music of The Mars Volta, Coheed & Cambria, and Killswitch Engage. Want to know more? Check out Primetime Radio with Dylan Brown, Tuesday nights from 7-8pm.
Katie Buccioni comes from Toronto, and has loved radio since as far as she could remember. So naturally she landed straight out of high school to the Seneca College radio program.

On her free time Katie enjoys playing her guitar, going to concerts, and playing scrabble. Well maybe not the latter, at least not on a regular basis. Just tune into S@Y Radio every Monday night from 7-8 to listen to an hour with Katie.

Whats up? My name is Drew Fabricius and I am currently in the Radio Broadcasting program at Seneca College and it is pretty badass, I must say. I went to George Brown Culinary School for one year because I thought I was going to be a chef (worst year of my life) but I didn't exactly care for it. When looking for a new school program, I saw Radio Broadcasting and thought it would be the perfect industry to get into for a music geek such as myself. I applied and got in (thank God) and haven't looked back since. Hopefully, I will have a career in radio production (my fav subject).
