I'll be surprised if Marek isn't brought in to take over for Ron, especially with the Elliott Freidman connection from their podcast. I think it could be palatable as long as they don't get rid of Bieksa on the panel. Hated Bieksa as a player but man, he actually brings some life and different opinions to the broadcasts which is sorely needed.
As far as 960 goes, my interest in the NHL and the Flames will be severely impacted if 960 gets dissolved, especially if their cost-cutting solution is just to force feed us Toronto radio/Marek Show/Rome/etc. Guess we'll have to wait and see but man, Sportsnet/Rogers is just the worst.
