Should they talk about local sports more, university sports, high school sports, Stampeders, or there's World Volleyball in town this week.
In the States, national sports radio talks about NFL year round for hours and hours but pivot to NBA and MLB and NCAA and other issues, sometimes political, throughout the year if there's big news. Local radio I believe talks about their local teams.

I am not local at the moment, as I am in the UK for the year, however, the only teams I like to hear about are the Flames and the NHL. I have zero interest and immediately turn off the dial when they discuss any of the amateur sports in the city. Even the CFL chat, I have very little interest in, but it would not be as abysmal as having to listen to a discussion about Uni/High School sports, or any local sports besides the Flames for that matter.
I hope the Fan 960 sticks around though. I still stream it and when in Calgary, I didn't even mind the NBA and NFL talk from the CBS sports stream at night or Rome earlier in the day.
