Will affect the airing of Ti-Cats and Lions. Bombers are on CJOB 680
The hits just keep coming from Bell but it's the sign if the times too. I don't remember how long it's been since I've listened to any sports on the radio. With Covid working from home, I haven't tuned in to either 1050 or 590 in a long time.
This is why the CFL gets little or no coverage. Bell , TSN, RDS & Rogers cater to the larger population markets.... Montreal & Toronto....... Another reason why the CFL needs to do a better job promoting the larger population market teams because the media coverage is non existent or an after though in Montreal, Toronto & Vancouver.
The reformatting radio stations during a pandemic .
Hmmm comedy and business to replace sports and getting 122 million from the public .
Maybe I am out of touch but I see radio as Car time media .
From the comments of employees effected who are more in the know it's rational behind it is debatable .
For me as a listener when I am in my car do I turn on a business program or comedy or sports .
Lately I want local content for the last few years . I want folksy news and talk telling me what's going on in the area during a break from music that has nothing to do with the current era of crap .
For sports I turn on the local game in the car and want to hear local sports .
I have a feeling some other media holder will fill the gap hopefully .
The CFL should start their network either through Sirius XFM channel on satellite radio or a television network like the NFL Network on Cable Television. I don't understand how the NFL Network got on Canadian Television with having Canadian content.
If Rod Petersen can get on Game+ channel, the CFL should get something done
I still can't get my head around Bell doing this on the CFL free agency day. A real slap in the face to CFL fans and the League IMO. Almost like it was intentional. The bean counters couldn't have waited a few days? Shameful.
Can’t afford one studio with a couple of CFL analysts and interns doing a weekly preview/CFL betting line(once single game gambling is legalized) show through a network of radio stations like the old Primetime Sports show with Bob McKeown or RaceLine radio show. And expand from there
A podcast won’t cut it. You gotta see the door of opportunity opening not closing
