Career
Following his studies in English and international relations at the University of Toronto, Krystal began a career in radio syndication.
From 1986 to 1991 he worked with Sonic Workshop, owned by the late David Pritchard and Alan Lysaght, where he co-produced, wrote, voiced and sold the Entertainment Tonight-style series Entertainment Week and Entertainment Today, which aired in 60 Canadian markets. Following syndicated radio, he hosted and wrote independent TV series and travel guide programs.
He hosted The Andrew Krystal Show on Sunday nights on Toronto's CFRB, and also hosted talk radio programs on CFMJ (Talk 640/Mojo Radio) in Toronto, and on CKTB in St. Catharines, Ontario. He is perhaps best remembered in the Toronto market for popularizing the term "Leaf Nation."
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 in Moncton, New Brunswick and Saint John, New Brunswick. In 2010 he won the RTNDA (Radio Television's News Director's Award) for editorial commentary for his broadcast editorial on the death of Michael Jackson, but oddly enough Krystal did not show up to accept his award at the RTNDA event for reasons unknown.
Legal Problems: Assault Charge, Ban from Alcohol and Drugs
In early 2007, legal problems kept him off air temporarily. He was charged with Assault by his girl friend at the time by the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) Police, Halifax/Dartmouth Detachment. On January 6, 2007 Krystal was arrested and later pled guilty with cooperation with Crown, to one count of mischief, and two breaches of an undertaking after consulting with the crown. In February Krytal missed a show after he was arrested again for allegedly breaching an undertaking that forbids him from possessing or consuming alcohol and drugs/narcotics.
Present
The Bureau of Broadcast Measurement (BBM) reported in the spring of 2010 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.
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 August 16, 2010, Krystal made his début on the Fan 590 on the 9AM-12PM timeslot. On September 21, 2010, Krystal made his debut as the host of the FAN 590's new morning show, Andrew Krystal in the Morning, on the 5:30AM-9AM timeslot with contributions by FAN 590 veteran Dan Dunleavy as its sports anchor.
