Burrill began his career working for numerous radio stations for a few years.
He was soon named the news producer and then he became an on-air personality as sports specialist for Breakfast Television and CityNews at Noon.
At the same time, Burrill was hired by Rogers Media when the company acquired the Citytv stations including Toronto.
On January 19, 2010, as Rogers Media restructured its television operations, many Citytv staff members were laid off and several newscasts, including the weekend newscasts, were cancelled.
The new show, which launched on February 27, 2017 features Elliott Price, Greg Brady and Burrill.
