In 1986, Anthony moved from Montreal's CKGM to take the drive shift on Toronto's Q107. He left the following year to join MuchMusic.

Anthony was a weekday afternoon host on Toronto radio station 99.9 Mix FM, prior to its August 2008 conversion to the Virgin Radio format. He was also a panelist on the 2006 program MuchMusic VJ Search, a competition of prospective hosts for MuchMusic.

In 2009, he hosted a weekend show on Sirius Satellite Radio channel Iceberg 85 and also co-hosted Too Much '80s with Erica Ehm via Astral Media's Orbyt radio syndication service.

Beginning in March 2009, Anthony started working at CP24 (and CP24 Breakfast) as a news reporter on the CP24 news chopper, known as Chopper 24. From September 2009 until March 2018, Anthony was the co-host of CP24 Breakfast.

Anthony is also the Radio Imaging voice of many radio and television stations in North America. His voice can be heard on stations including SiriusXM NHL Network Radio, Faith-FM and more.
