O’Brien has a rich background in entertainment as well as sports, as he previously anchored both Access Hollywood and The Insider, in addition to leading live coverage of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, World Series, and the NBA Finals on CBS Sports.  While working on these programs, he had the opportunity to interview figures from all walks of life, including President Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Brad Pitt, former First Lady Laura Bush, Magic Johnson, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson.

“Pat’s experience in both sports and entertainment, as well as his industry connections and passion for radio, makes him a perfect fit for the Loose Cannons,” said Don Martin, Vice President/General Manager, FOX Sports Radio Network.  “We couldn’t be happier to welcome him to the FOX Sports Radio family as we continue providing the best destination for sports entertainment audio content.”
