"Take that Calgary Puck!" — SN960 and Calgary sports media discussion

I found my 16 step walk upstairs not as conducive to listening to the Fan as my 20 minute drive was.

With all the meeting on skype, I don't even listen to it during the day. Probably 15 mins total since March.

Haha yeah this is definitely a big reason why I've stopped. I've got a 20 minute drive ahead of me in the next 45 mins to get my tires changed, looking forward to some rare Pinder & Steinberg listening for that

[Titan]

I would not mind nault as much if he would JUST SHUT UP when someone else is talking. Boomer, the guest, pinder, jay, just shut the hell up!!

Same..and I've been listening to the morning show since team960 or whatever it used to be called. It's had a lot of up and downs over the years and tough to listen to at some points, but I've completely stopped now and go elsewhere. I simply can't listen to Nault. I could cut him here to pieces as to why, but I'll leave it at that. Unlistenable.


The fact that there's little sports to talk about anymore doesn't help, but if he wasn't there I'd probably still tolerate, as I do actually enjoy boomer's humour/schtick.

Logan Gordon is my choice for the worst. His updates are unintelligible, and when he joins a segment, the dial gets turned for the day. Mumbles at lightning fast speed with a heavy nasal voice.

Nault is a close second for many of the same reasons listed in this thread.

[Strange Brew]

I haven't listened or watched any sports programming in last two months other than Last Dance and back nine of the golf last weekend.

I miss 960 but only to the extent I miss discussion of the Flames really. Without anything of substance to say there I'm not finding any reason to listen.

[Boreal]

Boomer was on Rob Kerr’s new Sport Calgary podcast.

It’s a good long dive into all things Fan 960.

In light of COVID-19, Rob Kerr is connecting with Calgarians across the city to tell their stories and experiences in sport. Because being six feet apart doesn’t mean we can’t spend time together.

Not a fan of that new show at 10:00. Why can't they just play a delayed Hockey Central?

[Toonage]

Yeah did I miss something? Hockey Central at noon is 2 hours long when there is nothing going on, now when it looks like the NHL is coming back soon they cut the show to an hour?

[vennegoor of hesselink]

Seems the Fan 590 cut the 2nd hour for whatever reason

[Derek Sutton]

When they co firmed the dates for basketball 590 cut hockey central back to one hour and started the raptors/ basketball show back up.

On Monday Steinberg confirmed 960 (tentatively) plans to return to regular programming on July 4. So Scotty Rintoul show will return at 10:00 a d back to thier regular afternoon line up.

[Weitz]

Why is pinder in the morning but still on the name of the afternoon show?

[Huntingwhale]

Great montage for Iggy this morning on the FAN. Might have been a replay from his last ceremony, but I don't care. Great to relive those great Iggy moments.

They temporary switched it up Pinder and Peter Kline in May, changed up their conversations a bit. I would expect the guys go back to their regular shows by July 4th as that is when they anticipate returning to regular programming

Kline was permanently removed from the morning show. He will not be returning.

[Moneyhands23]

So I turn on 960 to catch the draft lotto...


Ugh I can not believe how painful these 2 guys are. Kevin beiksa being on is no good, but I feel sorry for him at this point.

Yuck!

[chummer]

That was a painful interview, even Bieksa said he was steering it.

Boomer announced this morning that Rhett Warrener returns to the morning show as of next Tuesday.
