I would be a longshot for them to enter the market now, but down the road its a possibility.
There is a TSN branded station in those two markets, but there is not a Sportsnet branded station. It's the same story: the markets can support only one sports talk radio station. Those two cities just happen to have Bell-owned stations in that format rather than Rogers owned.
