I appreciate that they want to cover the rodeo, but it must be ratings poison. Same with Motor Sports Monday. Radios across the city can't change stations fast enough.
Jay Mohr on Rome today - can be very funny.

I think a station like Fan960 could partner with other sport stations in other Canadian NHL cities with each producing one hour of local hockey talk per day, including every day the summer, and exchange those hours with each other - effectively five or six hours of hockey talk every day on each station - and do very, very well versus foreign interloper programming like Rome or FoxSports.
Probably wouldn't work for Toronto because I assume Toronto would have full-time local programming.
Even in Canada, that wouldn't be overkill.
Then again, I'm not interested in the Stamps or Blue Jays either.

That would be a good idea.
As far as rodeo, etc goes. I also bet it costs almost nothing to send one of the local personalities out to call it. I would almost guarantee they turn a profit on things like that, even if a tiny one. Fan960 knows that it's ratings and dollars come from the Flames. Everything else, really, is just filler.

They tried something like this with CHUM's The Team network across Canada. But even with six or so sports stations across Canada, it's probably still cheaper just to buy US programming.
But if you want NHL talk non-stop, get XM. The NHL channel on there is pretty good when it's not replaying old hockey games.

I like it when Jay subs in for Rome. Even those goofy brothers that did monday's show are growing on me.

The Jim Rome show is a staple in my day. I thought the Sklar brothers did well and Jay Mohr is always good for some laughs.

If I have to pay for it, I don't want it.
The world is loaded with free radio and there's always something playing somewhere.
Coincidentally enough, I bought a new Durango a few weeks ago and had a week of free Sirius radio before it died. I'll concede it was a bit of a withdrawal kick when I lost the Hillbilly Comedy Network and the Jack Benny Show on Radio Classics.

I can't think of a sport that is worse-suited for radio. Maybe Blue Jays baseball- ugh.

Does that clown Skip Bayless still do fill-in's? Can't stand that guy. All his other guest hosts are pretty great.

Big fan of the Sklar bros. Certainly not savvy sports guys, but their banter makes for interesting listening during a drive.

The FAN is filled with programs that make me rush to change the channel: motorsport monday, jungle jim show, rodeo coverage, fox sports radio, chevy & nasty, baseball coverage, overtime, the list is pretty long...

Jay Mohr's CSI: Miami takes always make me laugh.
I am also a big fan of Jason Whitlock. I really liked when he had David Simon on, but that is probably because The Wire is my favorite TV show.

Not a chance. Baseball on the radio is epic!
You want an awful radio sport? Listen to basketball.

I agree totally. If fan 960 didnt have Rome i would never listen to the station.
I cant believe they think that broadcasting the rodeo was a good idea!
