Melnick previously spent seven years as host of The Melnick/No Limit Drive Home Show on CIQC, which, at that time, was the longest running show on English AM radio in Montreal. He eventually joined The Team (now TSN) in May 2001.

Melnick spent two years as an analyst in the Expos radio booth at The Team 990 alongside play by play man Elliott Price. The two had first worked together at CJAD in 1982.
