Brian Lilley

Brian Lilley is a Canadian conservative columnist, author, television show host. He is the provincial and national political columnist for the Toronto Sun. He has worked in radio, television and print across Canada. He hosted a radio show on 580 CFRA in Ottawa, and was the senior correspondent for the now defunct Sun News Network in Ottawa, covering Parliament Hill.

Lilley joined the staff of 940 News in Montreal as a reporter in September 2000. While with 940 News, Lilley covered local, provincial and federal politics as well as international events such as the G20 conference in Montreal in November 2001 and the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in April 2001.

During the three day conference, which was marked by violent protests, Lilley provided coverage for radio stations across Canada as well as live coverage for CNN Radio and Television. In 2002 Lilley moved from 940 News in Montreal to Newstalk 580 CFRA in Ottawa.

From 2002 until 2005, Lilley was a beat reporter for CFRA covering local, provincial and occasionally federal politics for the station. This included attending the funerals of several of the early casualties of Canada's contribution to the War in Afghanistan that were stationed at CFB Petawawa.

In March 2005, Lilley began a five-year run as the Ottawa Bureau Chief for what was then Standard Radio. He covered the 2006 election that saw Stephen Harper and the Conservatives replace Paul Martin's Liberals.

Lilley joined the Sun News Network as soon as the station was announced in June 2010. He hosted the television program Byline with Brian Lilley from April 2011 until the station shut down in February 2015. The show was taped in Ottawa, Ontario.

Byline usually included a 10-minute introduction followed by two or three interviews lasting 10 to 15 minutes, then a final 10-minute conclusion where Lilley reads emails from viewers, shows a funny or interesting video, or speaks about an upcoming event.

On February 13, 2015, Sun News Network was shut down. A repeat episode of his show, Byline with Brian Lilley, was the last program to air before ceasing operations at 5 a.m. ET.
