cuporbust Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hey guys , The new Canucks radio broadcast rights holder, Sportsnet 650, has officially announced the morning show host. The host will be former global news anchor and politician Steve Darling. It will be strange to what such a familiar news anchor voice hosting a sports show , but I think he should be a good choice. http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/vancouver-radio-steve-darling-to-co-host-sportsnet-650-morning-show Thoughts ?

JM_ Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I like Steve, he'll certainly be more knowledgable than Bro Jake on 1040. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Anything is better that that turd Dave Pratt and the super homer Bro Jake. That show was brutal before, then they lost Sat. It's just in listenable now. Let's hope Steve can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Can't say the names draw me as I haven't heard any of them on a regular basis. That being said, I don't have any loyalty to the current 1040 crew so I'll probably give them a try while heading to work in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Well I certainly hope this new gig is more successful for Darling than his foray into politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the best part of it all is he fancies himself some kind of hockey media god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Meh.....this is the best they can do? And we're supposed to be pleased because it isn't Pratt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 A bit underwhelming...but still LEAGUES better than the 1040 morning show! I'm more interested to see how they fill out the rest of the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Excellent, I would listen to this. I like this a lot. Hopefully they can build on this as they fill out the rest of the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono2009 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 i like tsn 1040. not sure all the hate on pratt. bro jake tries to be a sports guy lol. this lineup for sportsnet radio wont have me switching to them though. If it is true that Sat is joining Sportsnet, I would love to hear his show. But darling? give me a break. they could've found someone else with more appeal.

Well, I can't speak for others, but to me Pratt comes across like a pro wrestler; lots of hype, exaggeration, raising his voice, but a lot of it is fake.

Bur14Kes17 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Eff I hate James Cybulski. At least it's not Cybulski and Bro Jake doing a show together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'm betting john shannon, satiar shah, and some sort of wildcard for the afternoon show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 C-Ball? Used to work with Don Taylor didn't he? It's a shame they didn't approach former sportsnet employee Don Taylor. Don is GOAT! Since he stopped calling the Sportsnews, I've never enjoyed it as much. He was the ultimate local host. WAS IT HIS LEFT HABI?! OR HIS RIGHT BULIN?

86Viking Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Gary Valk for the afternoon? Former player, always liked his insight regarding the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanisleryan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I sure hope they can get a rebroadcast in Victoria. 1040 comes in terrible here. I know I can get it online but rather not eat up my data when driving around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Darling was in radio before Global. He'll put on a smooth show. As to his sports knowledge. I think he's a fan not unlike Bro Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Not very impressed with this choice. Not a fan of Steve Darling at all. I'll still give it a chance to get away from that fat **** Pratt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
