Turn off 650 right away... Yep. If they aren’t going to even try to put their best effort into local coverage, they should just close up shop. The move towards podcasts is welcome by me, then I can pick and choose podcasts and avoid the toxic arrogance of the Drance’s and Sekeres’s and the hard wired negativity of the “J-Pats” of the local market. Halford and Brough to podcast, in addition to the fresh (albeit naive) up and comers like Faber and Quads would a very good development IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The play-by-play broadcast is tremendously different than the rest of the programming. I can no longer listen to any of them when the game is not on. On TV, the PVR lets me escape their prattle, and just watch the action on the ice. I have yet to see a podcast I could put up with for more than about 30 seconds. This: CDC: is the best; fastest; most intelligent; most depth, insight, personal anecdotes, etc., etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Money makes the world go 'round. What are NHL game broadcasts worth on radio? How much revenue can the station expect to earn back on their investment? As part of Rogers Sportsnet's complete Canuck coverage, I imagine the radio part is a drop in the bucket. But if they're gonna broadcast the game on TV, they might as well put it on the radio too. So, who is playing hardball with this deal, the Canucks, or Rogers? [Can't get this out of my head while reading this thread, so here it is: Video killed the radio star.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be hard to sell the rights to the radio broadcast if there's no one listening. Well I live in the UK and I will surely miss not being able to listen to the games while I'm working. I often start work at 3am which is when most games in the Pacific time zone start. I guess if I'm the only one listening then I'll be outta luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the play by play, but pre game and post game shows, intermission guests etc. For me, the best was when Shorty and Larschied were on. Been going downhill every iteration since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to daily podcasts I think pretty quick here if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I was thinking that part of the delay was that they are also trying to work out something for the Abby Canucks as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local media hasn't done itself any favours in how its dealt with the team for a long time now, I'm not surprised at all that the team is considering cutting them out. As long as the fans can access content via streaming, I don't really see the loss. Our local radio has been bad for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 'NW was the all time best in Sports coverage in BC for two decades. They were all in on Canucks and Lions coverage. Jim Robson, Larchied, McConnell, Big Al Davidson, McKeachie, all did us fans well. The crap that's on our radio airwaves is brutal, which is why I don't listen. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be quite content to listen to radio broadcasts rather than being pinned to the couch to experience the game. Not any more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk or upset fans aside, it's good entertainment post game, especially in the playoffs. I'm sure online chat is bigger in numbers, but you can't read it while driving. The platform of AM is useless for me, but they stream online and so that's valuable. If Canucks run it themselves and have an online streaming service, I would even pay to get a subscription.
