Krystal was banned from CTV Newsnet after telling Charles Adler in a political panel that he would have voted for Hitler if 'Hitler had been a conservative'.
As radio host on News 95.7
Krystal began hosting Maritime Morning in October 2005. Originating from News 95.7 FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia, his program Maritime Morning was simulcast on co-owned stations News 91.9 in Moncton, New Brunswick and News 88.9 in Saint John, New Brunswick.
In the spring of 2010, the Bureau of Broadcast Measurement (BBM) reported that Maritime Morning with Andrew Krystal continued to be the highest rated program on News 95.7, with a 12.3 share among men 25-54, ranking second overall in the market.
In May 2010, Krystal won a Radio-Television News Directors Association of Canada Network Radio Award in the Atlantic Region for his broadcast editorial on the death of Michael Jackson.
On July 12, 2010 it was announced that Krystal would be leaving News 95.7 to join the Fan 590 in Toronto. His last appearance on Maritime Morning was on July 30, 2010.

On February 10, 2011, it was announced that Krystal was removed as the Fan 590's morning show host. Program director Don Kollins stated that he would remain with the station to "fill on-air shifts and work with me on new projects". Greg Brady served as the interim morning show host after Krystal's removal and was later named as the official morning show co-host along with Jim Lang on March 10, 2011.
On March, 2, 2011, Krystal began hosting the 1PM-3PM timeslot, formerly hosted by Brady. On June 22, 2011, it was announced that Krystal was dismissed from the Fan 590.
