Brad Lyons, the man behind over 25 successful TV titles, including Dancing with the Stars, My Kitchen Rules, Deal or No Deal and House Rules, has passed away following a battle with cancer.

Lyons joined Seven in 1997 as head of infotainment and worked closely alongside former CEO Tim Worner and director of programming Angus Ross.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Brad Lyons. We worked together for many years @Channel7 and had more than a few ‘robust’ discussions about television that always somehow ended in laughter. Gone far too soon. Thoughts are now with his family ❤️
