The entire 960 offering was pretty stale for the last 4-5 years, and not at all consumable for listeners that aren't willing to sit down and listen to endless commercial spots that take up half their commute. I used to listen fairly religiously for years, and it just wasn't doable anymore. I also found far more engaging content (outside of pre/post game coverage which is still something I would desire) on other sources, podcasts etc that didn't require frequent ad spots and listening at set times.
Covid likely expedited the death of the station, with advertising funds drying up entirely, but it's not like Calgary is alone here. I don't imagine there will be any dedicated Canadian sports stations on am radio left in 2-3 years unless they fully re-invent themselves.
