Sure you could stream another city's station online, but most people want to hear Calgary sports discussed.
If you don't like them don't listen AND make your complaints heard so there is change. There's only so much airtime to go around so really what else can you do but fire someone? Embarass them by having to play sidekick to Jungle Jim on Saturday mornings?

Well I assure you the complaints will do nothing.
Decision will be made on the basis of the ratings, specifically within key demographics, and the ability to sell advertising.
I get wanting to have your voice heard - but that's not what will drive any change, because there are always people that complain about the on-air talent. It's just noise, and nothing that stations could actually base decisions on.
