BRIAN BEDO
Brian Bedo was born and raised a die-hard Cub fan in northwest suburban Chicago. Knowing high school sports would be the pinnacle of his athletic career, he thought in the future that he would do the next best thing when it comes to sports, talk about them.
Bedo has been working as a sportscaster ever since he graduated from Bradley University in 2007. In the summer of 2009, he served as the #2 Broadcaster/Media Relations Assistant for the Peoria Chiefs, the Midwest League affiliate of the Cubs. There, he built a great rapport with different prospects and front-office staff throughout the organization. He also called baseball at the summer collegiate level in 2008, serving as the Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations of the Sanford Mainers of the NECBL.
In addition, during the non-summer months, Bedo continues to be a voice of Bradley University Athletics, calling soccer, volleyball, women's basketball, and baseball games for the Braves. He also spent some time in November/December of 2009 as the fill-in play-by-play broadcaster for the eventual NCAA Tournament-bound Wofford Terriers men's basketball team.
Bedo occasionally does some work for WGN Radio, producing a handful of Cubs, Blackhawks and Northwestern football games throughout the course of their respective seasons. He first interned at WGN Radio in the fall of 2007, where he met and became good friends with "B-Squared" co-host Jordan Bernfield.
Bedo lives and dies with the Cubs and has a strong passion for the Bulls, Bears and Bradley University basketball as well. In his spare time, he enjoys going out downtown Chitown with his girlfriend and friends, spending time with his family, watching "Friday Night Lights" and "Friends," playing poker, and eating at Portillos.
