Evan Bray is the voice of Saskatchewan.
Many know him as the former chief of the Regina Police Service. But Bray has turned in his badge and changed frequencies from police scanner to AM radio.
Bray’s return to his broadcast roots follows a three-decade-long policing career, during which he held the position of chief for seven years.
Bray was born and raised on the family farm near Abernethy in southeast Saskatchewan. He has a deep appreciation for his rural roots and a strong love for the province.
The Evan Bray Show features a daily lineup of intriguing guests with diverse viewpoints, plus familiar favourites like Saskatchewan’s Smartest Radio Listener.
As police chief, Bray worked closely with governments, leaders and grassroots community organizations to understand the challenges people in Saskatchewan face. He led crowd control and crisis negotiation teams in his policing career — skills that can be useful during heated debates on his ground-breaking show.
Bray steps into the time slot occupied for 25 years by John Gormley.
He lives in Regina with his wife, Jodie, and has two grown children, Cy and Ella, and two grandchildren.
