Must be tough for The Fan to juggle the Leafs, Raptors and Jays. I guess the plan next year will be for the Raptors to split games on TSN 1050 and 590 as well.
Couple thoughts:
It’s definitely unusual to split radio rights like this. I wonder if they’ll eventually settle on something like rotating full seasons of Leafs and Raptors rights. ‘One year we get the Leafs you get Raps, next year you get the Leafs we get Raps.’ I feel like that would be more convenient for listeners.
McCown and Shannon said on Friday, they think this partnership won’t last, and give it 3 years before Bell buys out Rogers.
This will defiantly be some interesting times with the new partnership between Bell/Rogers. The war of words is just beginning and who and how does one go about dividing up the TV and radio schedule?
I only caught Friday up until 5:30 (too busy to catch up on the podcast today). Did McCown/Shannon definitely say that Bell would buy out Rogers, or just that one would buy-out the other (I thought I heard the latter)?
With Bob’s sabre-rattling last week about little brother coming after big brother, I’d be surprised if he’d defer so quickly.
Listen, nothing personal, but I can’t believe they didn’t take this opportunity to shuffle Jim Ralph out of the picture. This was a chance to bring in new blood.
Good gawd, there must be 800 ex-Leafs in this town who wouldn’t spend the entire telecast complaining about the refs.
id like to know why can’t just have 1050 and 590 just alternate every other year with Leaf games. this splitting of games is very annoying and fans will get lost. have TSN get the games this year and 590 next. simple
They said that one would buy out the other within 3 years………..when pressed, Shannon said he thought it would be Bell that buys out Rogers and McCown agreed with him………….but it came across more as an educated guess by them than a “scoop”
how long does it take to switch stations?
Is Andy Frost still doing his post game broadcast? Assuming there is no way since he is a Corus employee, which means no more “Enter Sandman” on a loop over and over and over…..
There are going to be 3 Leaf post game shows:
tsn1050: Jim Tatti and Scott MacArthur
fan590: Gord Stellick and Ric Nattress
am640: Andy Frost
TSN Radio shouldn’t allowed to broadcast something as valuable as Leafs games with that lousy signal. There are parts of downtown where you can’t receive and it’s hit and miss north of Hwy. 7.
