In a later interview, Romanuk cited the fact that the job didn't entail regular travel as well as CHUM's superior financial offer to his TSN compensation as two reasons he decided to leave his established post at TSN. After the Team 1050 job went away, Romanuk began freelancing again, doing hosting work for Leafs TV among other gigs. Owing to his friendship and past business collaboration with the Toronto Argonauts president and CEO Keith Pelley, Romanuk got hired to call radio play-by-play alongside colour commentator Pete Martin for the Argonauts games during the 2004 season. As Romanuk left after only a season, the radio play-by-play job got taken over by Mike Hogan. In fall 2004, Romanuk got hired by the Fan 590 station management, consisting of John Shannon and Nelson Millman, as the radio play-by-play voice of the Toronto Raptors broadcasts alongside colour commentator Paul Jones on the Telemedia-owned station. Romanuk ended up completing only the 2004–05 season before quitting. In spring 2005, Romanuk quit his Raptors radio play-by-play job at The Fan 590 and moved to London, England, following his wife who took an executive job at The Coca-Cola Company's European division based in the city. Moving to London, Romanuk had nothing lined up professionally, initially just hoping to continue a career in sports broadcasting. Settling in the Battersea area of London, Romanuk found work as a freelance sportscaster, performing various one-off jobs such as calling different sports (including hockey) on Eurosport. In the lead-up to the 2007 Asian Indoor Games in Macau, China, Romanuk got hired by a contract publishing company to edit a magazine for the games, a full-time job that had him commuting between London and Macau for about six months. He additionally freelanced on the Canadian networks CBC, CTV, TSN, and Sportsnet coverage (either individual or consortium) of various international sporting events such as play-by-play announcing of triathlon and weightlifting at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Other such events included IIHF World Championships, Spengler Cups, and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He also did voice-over work for the International Ice Hockey Federation, did play-by-play commentary for the Champions Hockey League in 2008–09, and emceed the 2012 Hockey Forum in Barcelona and the draw of the re-launched CHL in 2014 in Minsk. By the early 2010s, Romanuk and his wife moved to West London while she also switched from a marketing executive job at Coca-Cola to one with L'Oréal.
