Popular Post Mackcanuck Posted March 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Two storied sports journalists will be returning to the airwaves next month on B.C.’s only independent, employee-owned TV station. Don Taylor and Rick Dhaliwal are set to debut their new sports variety show, Donnie and Dhali – The Team, April 5 on CHEK. The pair, along with producer Ryan Henderson, are well-known from their former radio show on TSN/Team 1040, a station that suddenly shuttered last month. “When TSN 1040 closed, a lot of fans were very disappointed. And so were we,” says Taylor. “The fact CHEK is an independent, local, employee-owned station, made our decision to join them a no-brainer. Fans in the Lower Mainland, Victoria and throughout Vancouver Island are going to have a relevant show that reflects them.” Produced by Oh Boy Production Studios in Vancouver, Donnie and Dhali – The Team will air from 10 a.m. to noon, Monday to Friday on CHEK.

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 CHEK seems to be the last independent TV outlet. What's next? Sports Page? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddhahoodlum Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I always liked Don Taylor. Too bad I don't watch TV because I'd like to show my support for their umm show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Page? I hope that they do come up with the idea to revive Sports Page -- its the kind of local sports show that only works on a smaller independent station, like CHEK. Just like it did on CKVU, all those years ago.... 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Very pleased that Donny and Dhali will be back on the air. Donny has been part of Vancouver sports casting forever and Dhaliwal sounds a little goofy sometimes, but he seems to have really reliable contacts around the hockey world. I'll probably catch up on the show via podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanHockeyFan Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Don't watch cable at all pretty much these days, so I'll be waiting for the podcast version to come out and definitely tune in through Spotify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Doubt I’ll be able to watch, but if they release the audio on podcast I will definitely listen on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Good to see local TV broadcasting local guys. For me the fact that I like Taylor makes this even better. This should be a breath of fresh air compared to the contrived corporate tripe we see from our Toronto Centric national broadcasters these days....where we watch the lowest on the totem pole lackeys try and manufacture some enthusiasm while they do post game highlights at 1am eastern time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
