Don Taylor (born September 25, 1959 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian radio sportscaster and former television sportscaster. He currently works for TSN Radio 1040 in Vancouver.
Taylor is the youngest of four brothers and two sisters. Taylor graduated from Alpha Secondary School in 1977.
Taylor was the longtime co-host of CKVU's nightly sports news show Sports Page from 1985 to 2000 and was also briefly a radio broadcaster with CKNW. He hosted Sportsnet Pacific's nightly sports news program Sportsnet Connected from 2001 up until August 8, 2014, when it was announced that Taylor would no longer work for Sportsnet.
In 2003 he returned to the radio on what was then called the TEAM 1040, co-hosting the Pratt & Taylor Show. When David Pratt and the station management couldn't come to an agreement for a new contract in 2011, Pratt left the station and Taylor's long-time friend and former CKVU co-worker, Barry Macdonald, became Pratt's replacement for the afternoon show. It would be known as the BMac & Taylor Show until 2015, when Bob "The Moj" Marjanovich was added to the show, which currently is called the BMac, Donnie and the Moj Show, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on TSN 1040.
During his nearly three decades on television, Taylor was known for his canned delivery of the nightly sports highlights, which consisted largely of a set of recurring themes including:
Taylor also provided colour commentary for different hockey video games including NHL 2002, NHL 2003, as well as NHL Rock the Rink, which all were released by EA Sports.
