When it comes to low key #### jobs, radio personality has to be pretty high up there. Low pay, constantly pimping advertisers, severe dearth of content in a one sport town (no, not technically, but come on).
I would hate that job.

Also let's be clear here: 960 is a Calgary Flames media outlet. You will never hear any sort of direct criticism of the team on the station. Doug Barkley did it and was booted pretty well the next day. Same with Mike Rogers.
|
Have you ever listened to Will Nault? He is relentlessly critical of the team. Steinberg is more diplomatic, but I don't think this is a fair take.
This sucks as I have actually been listening a lot more in the past year and a bit and enjoying it.

I haven't listened in ages. Nault's talking causes me physical pain.
Does he say "Treliving is awful, he's made bad trades, the team will be bad for a long time"?

Yeah, I always hear Nault and Pinder being critical of the team. Especially Pinder.

Condolences to everyone laid off
I think biggest concern here which is life as a Flames fan is the worry that whatever is coming in is just going to be 80% Leafs talk

If this is the end, thanks to Boomer, Pinder, Warrener, the many producers and all involved for years of morning entertainment.

Haven't heard anything about Boomer either way but I'm not getting the sense the losses at 960 are going to affect that show very much

That's good I guess, but Steinberg actually talks hockey and stays focused on sports. I hope he lands on his feet as he is a dedicated radio guy and has put in a lot of time/energy.
