Strombo was let go because of his big-ticket, which is a fact. We've seen since is a trend to cut costs. Or was Bob McCowan also an abject failure?

Maclean earns more than Strombo did, so that "argument" is out the window along with the FACT ratings were sewering...from the CBC itself

The most recent chapter of Ron MacLean's career would make one heck of a screenplay: a venerable 56-year-old sports broadcaster, beloved by millions, is sidelined from his position by a network seeking a younger face, only to be brought back to salvage its flagging ratings.
Sportsnet confirmed Monday that the veteran broadcaster will replace George Stroumboulopoulos in the main chair of Hockey Night in Canada next season, returning to a role he held for nearly 30 years.

McCowan? What does he have to do with HNIC host duties?
Goalposts moved...check.
So anyone who believes Strombo was a poor fit for his gig as did his employers...is a dinosaur? OK then.
