It is a problem where every time someone on the show brings up the NBA and then Boomer starts his "Sports I hate" shtick, he is not conditioning his listeners to accept anything different. And now the listeners will just turn off the radio whenever they are not talking about hockey.
There could be so many possibilities, say a tennis hour, golf hour, soccer hour, mma/boxing hour, motorsports/whatever hour every week. There, I got Monday to Friday covered.
Maybe even CalgaryPuck can sponsor a couple of hours can have a show to BS...

A tennis hour?
I love tennis but it doesn't have enough broad appeal.
Same with motorsports, mma/boxing, etc.
The Fan has access to an audience size of 1.1M in total. Narrow in on their target demo - males between say 21-50 and it gets a lot smaller.
They have to appeal to a broad chunk of that audience.
They have done sponsored shows on golf, as well as back in the day Dave Rowe's motorsports Monday.
Largely those only happen at the insistence of the host (Rowe) or if it is sponsored (golf).
The ratings are awful for it.
