SilentSam Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's half hour re-runs from the late evening to the early morning were a great way to catch up on your local teams action, news, and then some, whether you were waking up early from an early nights sleep, or getting home from work at any hour. Don Taylor was a great host. Maybe TSN should pick up on what SN threw away like a puck toss at your Local Ice Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Bring back Donny and GValk for after game sessions/analysis. Sportsnet is getting filled up with just pretty faced people who don't know jack about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuporbust Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 They dont care about the west. The east makes more money for them. Thats the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellosinki Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Sportsnet used to be great. And then the Blue Jays got good. That's when they turned to sh*t. But realistically, what I see is they have one baseball panel, one hockey panel (not nearly enough for each Canadian team), and absolutely no football (specifically CFL) knowledge. Now if I was TSN, I could see this huge gap and take advantage. But I'm not TSN or Sportsnet, so I guess we'll have to live with just Team 1040.

linden17 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 no post game media coverage of the players and coaches equals crappy coverage. something rogers promised us when they took over a few years ago. now we get a hundred jays stories instead. no insight into the game we just watched other than "football" player carly argos dumb ass remarks. bring back the regional coverage please. We got more insight tonight into the oilers game than the canucks. thats wrong and screams budget cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yeah, the local coverage that Sportsnet used to provide was great. I'd do some pretty unspeakable acts to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The reality is Rogers media has us by the short and curlies. They know the fan base will watch no matter what, even with a full on barrage of negative media, basement predictions, etc etc. So they can make us figure out which of 8 channels we have to find, pump the negative media the east loves about us, and they'll get the tv revenue. Hell, they even tried to over-blow an issue with Jake into a fine. Even Kerry Fraser got a hair out of place over it. Its easy for them. Hate on Vancouver, get some of us whipped up, make Toronto happy and feed Alberta's inferiority complex. Its golden for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might for the game itself but if someone were to produce a post game, Sports Page-esque show elsewhere with some actual regional coverage and god forbid local sports news (including even some nice local college/uni etc like Sports Page used to do), they'd lose a good chunk of those post game viewers West of the Rockies IMO. It might be only be a slight hit, but that would surely effect their ad revenue. Seriously, there's an opportunity there for someone with the skills and the will.

Gaudette Celly Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Bring back Ren Randork as well -- at least he's local. Maybe then we can start turfing out all these Botchford/Schekeresch Ontario Leaf fan transplants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't even have to be a big production, it could be streamed online. The Botchford Files maybe? The show you love to hate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
