Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole are leaving Canadian television.

A year after the Wall Street Journal praised their efforts to “reinvigorate the genre” of sports highlight shows, the popular TSN anchors on Friday announced they are leaving for work in the United States. It has been reported they are leaving for Fox Sports.

Interview requests to TSN, as well as to the anchors, were not immediately answered.

“The moment I was paired with Dan on SportsCentre, I knew we had the chance to do something Canadians would really love,” Onrait said in a release distributed by TSN on Friday afternoon. “For the last decade we have received more love from our viewers than we could have ever imagined – and for this, we are eternally grateful.”

Onrait and O’Toole have inspired a legion of tributes on YouTube.

I'm going to miss them on SportsCentre. Just a classic duo that work so well together. Onrait is probably the bigger star of the two, and I'm actually shocked they are making the move to Fox considering TSN is the biggest sports channel in Canada and they just gave them their own podcast not to long ago.

More classic Jay. Going to miss his Olympic coverage.

I will admit these 2 have amazing chemistry together, despite me trying to avoid watching them at all costs because TSN focuses more than half their highlight show on hockey.
