Closer Look - Insightful, credible, unfiltered conversations that matter

Sid Seixeiro is back in the game.
The longtime Toronto sports personality — who rose to prominence as one half of the iconic Tim and Sid show — launched his latest venture earlier today: a new live-stream solo podcast that runs every weekday at noon on YouTube, Facebook and X.
As loyal fans will remember, Seixeiro walked away from his signature sports show in 2021 to co-host CityTV’s Breakfast Television — but was abruptly fired last February, along with co-host Meredith Shaw.
After spending the past 12 months on the sidelines, Seixeiro says he is excited to be back in front of a mic and working with Sick Media, an independent production company.
“We have 100 per cent control of editorial so we’ll decide where we go and when, and that includes Olympics, that includes World Cup,” Seixeiro told our Closer Look podcast. “I'm gonna get angry at some stuff. I'm gonna give some people some respect. I've been pigeonholed a little bit as ‘angry guy.’ I'm not always ‘angry guy.’ That's only 85 per cent of my day.”
Asked about his high-profile break-up with Breakfast Television, Seixeiro told us he plans to address all the details on his Friday show.
“I haven't really talked about it publicly, but something happened to me online after I left BT that I wasn't used to — people were nice to me," he said. "And so I'm going to go through my version of that later this week. It's not like some tell-all salacious thing. It's going to be rather boring, but there's more to it on my end than people know.”
