I am a huge fan of the CFL and the ATP, but even Cuthbert doesn’t do the announcing anymore. The only good TSN personalities left are Gord Miller and Ray Ferraro. I don’t know if I can get CFL games anywhere else but I’d definitely cancel TSN anytime besides the CFL season and world juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked if I'd worked in the industry, then said it was a good thing I didn't given what was happening to the trade. You happen to know at about what time that call was? I’d like to give it a listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few large corporations put "morals" and "financials" on the same line. I will agree to disagree, as I have worked for corporations that do not follow that code.

Crabcakes Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I heard on the news that come Friday, that CKST is going to be an all comedy station. How weird / ironic is that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Pretty gutless way to go about business by Bell. Also rough to be doing well ratings wise, etc and still lose your job. 1040 hasn’t been my cup of tea for years but obviously a lot of people liked them.. feel for people good at their jobs getting fired. Cutthroat doesn’t even fully describe that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hamhuis Hip Check Posted February 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) This is what i put on reddit, feel free to suggest any additions Lets get on the #boycottbell bandwagon guys. If you were ever going to cancel cable now is the time. Reddit has shown recently how powerful small voices can be when part of a crowd and now its time to turn our attention to the bastards that take taxpayer money only to turn around and fire a massive chunk of loyal employees. The fact that this happened right after their lets talk campagin just shows that we need to be a united front in showing companies that this behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated anymore. We have the options now to get our entertainment without the big boys and this is our chance to use them. Be heard Be loud Cancel any services you can not just from bell but all of the big 3. They took over 100 million dollars of our money recently so lets try to start taking that from them. Together we can make change if we unite in demanding that change Edited February 10, 2021 by Hamhuis Hip Check 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve contacted my local MP as TSN1040 was also broadcasted in Kelowna and told them what a crock of $&!# this is and our politicians need to be notified of this. &^@# YOU BELL !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Their second most successful station in the country? Why? And just to cut not only the radio personalities and other workers off like that but fans too. Many of us have a long time connection with many of them. Donnie Taylor for sure. This was the station that morphed originally from Sports Page with Taylor and host Paul Carson who was the main force behind the start of Team 1040. I preferred 1040 over 650 most of the time. Loved the banter between the morning and afternoon hosts. We had to suffer for years of Sekeresness, before Halford and Brough joined 1040 and at least made fun of it. I liked listening to Donnie and the Moj as well. Donnie was getting more vicious and relentless on Moj lately, but I still liked their mix of sports, guests, and silliness. I don't have any Bell accounts, or I'd cancel culture their azz. Just remember, if you do, let them know why. Its very important they know 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindiculous Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 So I tried searching and Jason Brough deleted his Twitter account now. Don’t know why he did that instead of just changing his name because I always liked checking up on his Twitter comments during the game and he had some of the best Canucks Twitter posts of all time. Really sucks and hope he and Halford can come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
