Makes sense.

Sarich has always been an upgrade on Rhett.

I think his odds of zoning out during segments are also lower.

Blazers -> Blades -> Flames -> SN960

If I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that he did have nasal issues, but in his last NHL fight, he took one in the nose and it fixed things.

Is that why we get three hours of Van Smack today?

Excellent, now I can phone in and keep bragging how I ousted Sarich from the Flames poker tourney 2 years in a row!

Is Peter Klein gone? Usually when he's on vacation they still bring up his name. Haven't heard about him in a while.

He's moving to the afternoon show - not sure when it starts though.

He was on hockey central at noon today. Basically flipped spots with Nault

Isn't he more on the production side now, a la Deforest / Matty Rose? I wonder why.

Is it just me or has the fan960 completely ignored the NBA china news/fan protests or the Don Cherry firing?

With how sensitive everybody is these days its not surprising they would want to avoid controversial subjects for fear of inadvertently saying the wrong thing.

Well, they do work for Rogers, so there’s that.

I think the NBA simply isn't big news in western Canada. If it's not Raptors talk there's just not an audience. They have discussed the Cherry firing. Francis actually went through his ordeal with Cherry at HNIC today. Was actually pretty good radio.

Francis said that while he was at HNIC it was standard procedure that when Cherry said something it essentially became the broadcast policy, and was not to be challenged or contradicted in later show segments. Francis took issue once with one of Cherry's idiotic rants in which he minimized the danger of concussions and fighting in hockey, and afterwards Cherry tore strips off of him, and said to him something to the effect of "you will learn who is in charge around here."

Later in the broadcast Cherry came back on the air, ripped Francis for his comments, and repeated Francis's name thirteen times in the clip. Francis did go on to say that in his time at HNIC Cherry was exceptionally generous and kind.

That was my recollection of the story, but I may have gotten some of the bits wrong.

Yeah Francis mentioned that after the incident he Cherry talked and they have been on good terms since. I have to give Francis credit in that he had an opportunity to pile on and didn't as he told the story almost in humour and as you said above mentioned that he was a generous and kind person behind the scenes.

Bad radio from behind?

PS I know, I know - no budget, low pay, etc.

The link doesn't work anymore, but here's what I posted after listening to the segment last year...

The "take that..." bit is right at the end of the show, so you can skip ahead to about 2 minutes left.

After listening to it in context, it seems to me that the "take that CalgaryPuck" is basically saying "take that and run wild with speculation over what the announcement could be in the new year" (which is exactly what this thread is doing). It doesn't come across as anything negative towards CP.
