MONTREAL (CANADA), April 24th 2006 - Groupe TKO MMA has announced the signing of Sports Commentator and radio personality J.T. McCarthy as an addition to their current broadcast team. TKO CEO, Stephane Patry was very happy with the return of this talented broadcaster "J.T. is probably the best in the country at what he does, he could do Color Commentary on NHL games, on CFL games, that’s how talented he is and we are very happy to have him back on the team. The past is the past and we only look forward here at TKO now and we want the best people working with us and J.T. is the kind of guy who can bring our product to a whole new level!"
 
J.T. McCarthy began his broadcasting career at age 15 as Co-Host and Producer for the 7pm to Midnight show on Western New York’s number one rated radio station; Kiss 98,5. He is still in the record books as the youngest on-air radio personality in New-York state. After taking some time off from radio, he made the jump to TV working with Stephane Patry, hosting his Pay-Per-View events, TV shows and DVD series. Having been born in Canada, but raised in the Los Angeles area, J.T. has an understanding of broadcasting from both sides of the spectrum and brings his sense of humor and first hand knowledge of the sport back to the broadcast booth.
 
J.T. has since returned to radio and now hosts the number one rated afternoon drive radio show in all of Western New-York on Kiss 98,5 and can be heard online at www.kiss985.com. He returns to TKO on May 5th for TKO 25: CONFRONTATION™, and anticipates a night filled with some of the best Mixed Martial Art action on the planet. "It was time to make the return, TKO is the best show in Canada and I always considered TKO my home after all those years. In business, you have to move forward at all times and this was a decision that was made between Stephane and myself to better business for everyone involved! This is the best show in Canada and I’m thrilled to be part of it once again!"
