I really like Rintoul's show. I think its interesting to hear about things going on in other markets too, and he does provide a very good view on the Flames that provides a more third party viewpoint.

960 will just be the morning show and Steinberg for Flames games and a drive home show
Is that not what it is now?

Yes as of today they increased Rintoul from 10-12 to 10-2. While I didn’t mind Rintoul replacing Rome I am not thrilled it is increasing to middle chunk of the work day.

On the positive side it means there is less Nault on the radio which is a win.

How long until 650 and 960 broadcast the exact same schedule?

I don't know Vancouver radio but supposedly this new female partner of Rintoul was a regular on TSN radio? Maybe opening jitters but she's not had a great first day.

Lol the best part of the duo on calgary radio is the fact one is a Canucks fan and the other is an oilers fan.

Thanks for that sportsnet lol

Scott Rintoul is one of us. He confessed today, he grew up in Northern Alberta, and had family in Calgary, so he was a Flames fan growing up.

I’m guessing Walker was let go cause he was making Toronto money, but I can’t help but see the missed opportunity to have a guy that worked in Calgary and Vancouver host a show broadcast to Calgary and Vancouver from 10-2 each day. He’s got a great connection to both places and his delivery of humour, sarcasm, strong minded and at times controversial takes coupled with his interest in MLB, NBA and NFL would have been a solid show to follow the morning show. So many tune out after the morning show ends and that may have kept a lot of people tuned in. The new 10-2 show will take a while to get its legs, but I just don’t see it evolving from its blandness.

I am not a fan that the new co-host for Rintoul is an Oilers fan. I heard her taking about jumping out of her chair when Nurse scored that goal. Why do Canuck and Flames fans care?

It is seriously flawed to have a Canuck and oilie fan when the two markets are Calgary and Vancouver. What?!? Sportsnet had to hit their oilers quota? No problem then. Carry on.

I’ve already removed them off of every favorite or like streaming service I use.

Mainly because I’m pissed off they let Jay go, but the hiring a joke broadcaster who shameless and unprofessionally can’t park their fandom is too much.

Any thoughts I had of tuning in while the Flames twist in the wind are completely gone with this hire/programming.

Yeah, its a brutal show for sure. I tried my best to tune in for the duration today, but couldn't make it.

Looks like I'm down to the Morning Show and the 9.

Not what I'd call a positive direction for listenership.

I tried giving the afternoon show a listen again on the drive home but Nault made me change the station very quickly. Dude is toxic.

Made the mistake of leaving it on 960 after the 9 only to hear Rintoul use the phrase "textination" - just awful radio.

What’s the deal with Calgary radio being invaded by the soft selling of Edmonton ... no offence to that team and city but I really do not care about them and am getting sick of turning on the fan 960 and have that team continually mentioned ... it’s getting to the point where I’m starting to not even tune into 960 ... I know there is a ton of Oiler fan transplants in this city but for the love of god ... I want a truly Calgary centric radio station that shows zero respect towards that no good team and no good city !!! Lol !!

No doubt.

I generated extra attention from a poster who is a mod for noting that it seemed pretty apparent that Peters had influence in Tre signing Ryan, and said poster seemingly having taken offence to my statement based on an inference he had made

Calgary - CJAQ-FM, CHFM-FM, CFFR, CFAC .... Rogers owned radio stations in Calgary ..... Rogers is getting their no good grips on Calgary .... the buying of media to preach a bias message has infected the free radio waves of Calgary .... Rogers is no good !!!!

We must resist the subtle mind control Rogers is trying to administer on the citizenry of Calgary ... Everything Edmonton is , will be and always has been no good ... my mission in life is to create Free Radio Calgary to broadcast and spread truth and expose propaganda .. I haven't yet figured out how I’ll do it but I pledge to never give up until it becomes reality ...
