JM_ Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/sportsnet-launch-vancouver-sports-radio-station-fall/ here's the announcement. I wonder how low 1040 will go with their remaining time left I heard Sekeres was sick today, some kind of toxic ink exposure while writing up his resume.

Hopefully SN doesn't &^@# it all up by doing what they did with SN Pacific and force feeding us a bunch of ill informed, Toronto based hosts that haven't the foggiest about this market. The 'and Blue Jays!' part of the announcement has me concerned..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would tank if they had intelligent discussion. Remember, we're making the playoffs next year, and if you tell those who think like most on these boards otherwise, well they won't listen I bet. They'll be like, that guy is an idiot, he's not even from Vancouver, he's from Ontario. LOL... could you imagine? Because I just did. Edit: AND AS I POST THIS.... LOL.... Your last post is AMAZINGLY TIMED!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can bring in some new talent, hopefully with a local connection, that actually knows the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of local sports here (including 'local' Washington teams from assorted leagues) to not need 'Blue Jays!' as the secondary focus...

Lancaster Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I hope they have a FM option too. Most phones can receive FM stations... much better than spending data just to listen to the radio. With this new station.... the return of Dan Russel? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an NFL fan one iota so I didn't think of that. I think any radio manager knows this is a hockey 1st town so I'm not too worried as long as they don't think Bro Jake is a hockey expert we'll be fine.

Tre Mac Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Lame that they'll do the jays as well. That means from 3pm - 8pm it'll be jays pregame / game / and post game most days in the summer when a lot of their audience will be driving home from work.

They also have a baseball team that I'd argue has as many fans here as the Jays. And (like us) an MLS team. We also have the Lions and Giants and if they want to focus on hockey they could probably fill some airtime discussing prospects (including U18's, WJC, draft, Calder/Memorial cups etc) as well. All things that should likely be ahead or at least on par with the Blue Jays in this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about an eight hour Joey Kenward show, with Jon Abbott as his co-host? Two very unbiased guys, who aren't boring at all. Sprinkle in some IMac once in a while to spice things up...

jono2009 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 i will continue to listen to tsn 1040. typical rogers sportsnet throwing in the jays games on there. not long before we get raptors calls too. maybe Toronto FC as well to jam down our throats. more rogers media controlling everything!

Probably depends on what you think of Bob McCown Primetime Sports or Tim & Sid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Poor personalities on 1040? At least they have guys that know something about BC and Vancouver in general. I'll probably never tune it to this toronto garbage. At least we had Donny, Pratt, Rintoul, Price... all guys that actually know something about the city... whether you like what they say or not...
