Great comment Mike – it’s really hard for those of us on the consumer side to understand the nuances of how journalists manage relationships outside of the conventional scrums, press conferences, and interviews.

Story has been updated. It’s hard to look at this decision outside of the context of the massive layoffs in sports radio at Bell. We know radio is losing listeners to podcasts. But I would have thought radio […]

The legacy left behind by Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth will be on pause in 2021, and its future is not looking very bright.

Curious to hear from anyone who has listened to any of the The Star’s past sports podcast efforts. The papers have tried to enter this space in the past and it has not made much of a mark. Wilner has way more of […]

@Derrick. I try to include candid rather than press shots of the people we write about. You’ll notice that in most other columns here. It’s a way of humanizing our subjects. This was the first image that came up […]

Here’s an interesting tidbit to consider: the news about Tim & Sid drew more than twice as much traffic to our site than the news about Jay & Dan. I’m surprised.

I want to hear more from people who have opinions about how Sid will fit in with BT. I have never seen the show outside of my dentist’s office but my impression is that this is a pretty insipid form of […]

A year and a half after having drive time to themselves, the Tim & Sid show is ending.
This concludes an uncomfortable era for Sportsnet in the afternoons. Aft […]

Daniel I don’t think Cathal Kelly should be taken seriously as a columnist, to be honest
No argument from me, but beggars can’t be choosers and as long as the Globe pays him to write sports opinions then we h […]

From Simmons’ excellent Sunday column:
“Normally, there’s a news conference for this, even a virtual one. Normally, there’s a question-and-answer session. Normally, there’s something to talk about — the future, […]

I agree with Paul G. Having Buck and Dan together for a whole (shortened) season was a real pleasure. Sportsnet needs to find a way to lock Dan up for 140+ games. If they can also make a smart hire on radio then […]

The results certainly are interesting. My guess is that most readers listen to either oVERDRIVE or Writers Bloc, since these are the highest rated timeslots historically. The reason I gave people “up to 4” was t […]
