As braindead as Bell is, it's still hard to believe they purposely picked a song called Good Riddance to be malicious. It's realistic that, like in most of these situations, the person in charge said something like "Let's go with that 'Time of Your Life' Green Day song" and the person at the controls put on the song. I don't think they were being mean, I think they were being lazy. Gonna just disagree with you there. This was a corporate decision to eliminate an entire station (along with others). Not a graduation lol. Why did they pick any song? Why not dead air? Why not some jazz? I think you are missing the message here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same I listened with my morning coffee and on the treadmill Rintoul is knowledgeable but lacks humour etc, too businesslike for me , I enjoyed the goofing around my mornings are not the same Edited February 12, 2021 by nucksnavsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A morning ritual. Some eighties one hit wonder song is playing. Whaaaaa? Oh yeah, then my brain fully wakes up and I remember. No more waking up to Halford and Brough. I switch it over to 650. Ahg. I can't stand their morning zoo. Nothing worth listening to until Rintoul at 9. But I still prefer H & B. I hope Bell pays in some way for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are missing the message here. I began typing a reply with additional reasons why I think it was just a braindead move by Bell and not malicious, but then I backspaced it all and wondered why the hell am I wasting precious braincells giving Bell the benefit of the doubt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I am still gutted about this. Is anyone able to post the comments made by Dan Murphy on the Canucks broadcast today? I missed it and would love to see exactly what he said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sit in my room listening to CKNW on my Dad's radio. I'd spend half the game fiddling with the antenna.... and then the post-game show. I can still hear it. Don Taylor made me howl. I'd lay in bed throwing a baseball up and down trying to get it as close to the ceiling without actually hitting it. When games were really intense I'd whip a tennis ball against the wall and try to catch it like I was Bob Essensa/Felix Potvin (yeah, the goalie graveyard was a thing back then). I wanted so badly to be part of the team that I "punished" myself for losses. Every goal against with 20 situps and 10 pushups. A loss was an extra 50 and 25. Getting shutout was another 50 and 25. Radio will always be special to me because as a kid it was all I had to connect to the Canucks (except when my grandparents would send me VHS tapes of a game that happened like a month ago and I would watch it 10 times). Sucks to see hardworking people let go. I think I disagreed with guys on 1040 far more than I agreed with them, but I would always listen to 1040 over 650 because I felt that at least these people were passionate and their rants were either entertaining or at least somewhat thought-out (even if I disagreed with it I could understand why they felt that way). Listening to 650 is like drinking water. It goes down, you digest it, but you don't really taste it. Hopefully that changes. I agreed 100%. I listened to 650 on my commute yesterday, made no mistake the hosts are great, but it kinda missing that dynamic between the 1040 hosts used to have. May be it was the first time I am listening to the show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally I would laugh at their jokes while listening in my commute. The young talents at 650 should learn a thing or two about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockeye Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I miss most of those 1040 radio personalities. After the game, I went to 1040 to listen to the Post-Game and it's not there. It's disappointing, especially how the cuts were made. I'm really going to miss Ferraro's and Rick Dhaliwal's clips. I'll miss Donnie and the Moj too. I wish the TSN 1040 sports staff all the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Other than Toronto, Vancouver 1040 has strongest numbers! Baffling, makes no sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffling, makes no sense I read somewhere (forget where) that somewhat conveniently it looks like Bell and Rodgers have some type of back-room deal to split the sports markets because following the closures there is very little overlap in terms of coverage in any major Canadian city outside of Toronto. The less "tin foil" reason/theory is that TSN 1040 had an insanely high overhead due to the hosts/talent being paid way more than other markets.
