Hockey broadcasting

As the color commentator for the NHL's Winnipeg Jets for 3 seasons (1982-1985), Frost returned to work on radio covering NHL Hockey in Toronto. Toronto is one of Canada's largest hockey markets and Frost broke into the competitive market in 1996 as the host of the post-game show "Leaf Talk" on AM 640. Further, Frost became the third public address announcer in the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs franchise, beginning in the 1999-2000 season, when the Toronto Maple Leafs moved to their new venue,

Psychedelic Psunday

"Psychedelic Psunday" aired on Toronto's Q107 every Sunday for 33 years, until the show ended in 2018.[4] The program consisted entirely of music from the psychedelic era, spanning from 1965 to 1975.

The Post Game Show with Andy Frost

Andy was also the host of "The Post Game Show with Andy Frost" which aired after every Toronto Maple Leaf game on

. Andy invited listeners to call in and share their thoughts on the game. Many new and regular callers (such as Mike in Buffalo) frequented the show and provided commentary and analysis on the games. The show was full of in-depth commentary, analysis, updates on the night's action and listener calls and comments. As AM 640 says, "It's the fans who have the final say". The show started in 1996 under the name "Leaf Talk". In January 2013, the show's title was changed to "The Post Game Show with Andy Frost" because AM 640 no longer had the broadcast rights for the Toronto Maple Leaf games. Nonetheless, the hockey tradition continued after every game under the new title: "The Post Game Show with Andy Frost". On October 8, 2015, Andy Frost announced on Twitter that the Post Game Show had been discontinued.
