Edmonton has a Bell owned TSN Sportsradio station and it's still 95% hockey talk in hockey season and 50 in the summer. They made a bit of an effort to try and drum up some F1 stuff in the summer. But with TSN having no Oilers programming they can leverage for local T.V. I would have thought they'd try to peddle other sports that are still popular in Canada like the NFL. Still they get a NFL guy on the radio on a Tuesday afternoon for a 15 minute segment and they get a bunch of text messages crying that they're not talking about Josh Archibald's vaccine status. Half the Sunday and Monday night Football broadcasts don't happen because they'll have an Oilers pre or post game show.
So that tells me that the local market for a more overall sports broadcaster isn't there. The people who really want that likley have SiriusXM where you can't find much Local Hockey Team coverage.
