CanadianRugby Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Really sad to see so many people cheering that a bunch of people lost their jobs with no warning. If you don't like a radio station, or host, you can choose not to listen. It's not like most people that work at a radio station are exactly rolling in money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 change.org petitions are a joke, nothing will come of it. You need to engage with your government officials and get a real petition sponsored so they can do something about the subsidy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the guy who signed off on this is Wade Oosterman who last year was paid almost $7 million !! Bell has declared moral bankruptcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Bell did a jerk move. But one thing I've learned about broadcasting, you can be #1 for years. But you get a bunch of MBA's and bean counters. They will look for someone younger and cheaper to do the job all the time. I have to say up until recently I was hoping TSN would make a serious bid to get the NHL rights back. Now, yeah if it means Bell is earning the profit, hope they lose for another 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 This was a tough day for sure. I don't understand how Bell could do what they did in the manner that they did it in. Are they just jerks over there? Not supporting Bell or any of their initiatives, I don't &^@#ing care if it's Bell Let's Talk Day. The way they treated those men and women at 1040 would have caused great mental health issues. You just don't treat people like that. &^@# that corporation. Hopefully the people who were laid off today will get back on their feet again. Podcasts, subscriptions, etc. We need more, not less sports radio in this city. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Never had an account with Bell ever. Had Rogers and Shaw at one time but now I am 100% with Telus for everything. The Whitecaps should cancel their sponsorship will Bell immediately and allow Telus to be their sponsor. Then they can rename BC Place to Telus Place which was the intention years ago but Bell stopped it by threatening to pull their sponsorship from the Whitecaps. We don’t need Bell in this City. It is a company based in Montreal. Everyone should support our local company Telus. Way better service anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
