I enjoyed the Jim Rome show, when they carried it in the afternoons…. Took a little getting used to, and loved the “Smack-Off”.

We really need someone to scare Bruce away.

Hanna: Travis Green has been very honest, and that's been refreshing

TSN's Claire Hanna joins the show to talk about Sens training camp so far, cutdown day, and to look ahead to what's next for the team

I don't understand how 3 weeks worth of posts get deleted with conversations with mods. This is supposed to be the off topic thread I thought? Debating speed camera's and spell check are against the rules now? I'm trying to be the best neighbo(u)r I can be.

Maybe we can merge this with the Links and Podcast thread? There really isn't much to say because the station is almost done. I listened to the morning show for the first time in months a few days ago. It was bad. So bad. Haven't listened to the afternoon show in longer.

JR surviving and thriving after all this time is all you need to know. It's all under his watch and yet...

I gave up after Mendes left. Lever was a die hard and I like him way more than angry track star guy. I can't believe I forgot his name.

Yessir.

Any idea if TSN1200 has the Lacrosse radio rights?
and who is a potential broadcast crew?

What about the Charge, will they be on radio? and a pre and post game show?? and who for a broadcast crew?

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Dean Brown needs to retire yesterday.

Once TSN1200 is done and gone is Dean going with them? I hope he does

Why are listening to it?

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Why are listening to it?

Not listening for him. Was hoping to catch some pre game talk without that buffoon coming on.

Oh. He ruins everything. I rarely listen...to my hometown NHL team's pre or post game anymore, because the play by play guy is a fckn giant dbag. He caried mail for EM just like booboo did. It's a fckn sin.

He's insufferable. Male equivalent of a Karen and a know it all.

I am to Dean Brown what radiogirl was to Simmer

 

[Stylizer1]

I don't think TSN1200 will be gone. They will merge with CFRA. JR and ......Lloyd? will do an afternoon show/pregame. Post games, 67's, WNHL team, and Redblacks could probably be a different duo.

Letter to media,

You are killing yourselves. Over the air offerings are strangling themselves.

1) Very little new content
2) Limited depth of information/content/quality
3) way too much breaks
4) Clownish/Childish presentation. Seemingly aimed at 12 year old grade schoolers.

Whether it is sports medias or news or general entertainment. All are going down the same path. And it is becoming unwatchable/unconsumable.

TSN radio or Tv, Sportsnet, CNN, CBC, CTV, NBC, etc. have been reduced to minimal content.

TSN tv/radio gives you 4-5 hours of new content a day. And they then stretch that content to 8-10 hours by an unbearable amounts of stops for commercials.

CNN has become "the Talk" or "the View". People talking about a limited number of subjects over and over again and little to no world wide reporting. And they offer their shows with the "this hour has 22 minutes" approach.

You will kill your own industry. You have injured it already. Yes, people are tuning out. But that is a clear "horse before the cart". As content diminishes, we tune out! As presentation becomes more clownish, you are not gaining the 12 year old, you are losing his/her 65 year old grandparent.

You lost people younger than 40 long ago. Attempts at getting them back, simply loses their parents and Grandparents.

Compensating for lower ad rates by increased volume, is also a fail. TV remote controls are easy buttons to hit. Radio dials or the on/off switch is easy to hit. Turning your attention from TV/Radio to a PED during the extended breaks is common.

My wife would sit with her IPAD. And as we watched TV, I would complain about some commercial. She would say "what commercial?". I have now discovered that rechargeable batteries are a cure for commercials on TV.

But I have also discovered something else. Living without. In late summer I downgraded by cable package to a basic one. Saved $40 and am now debating a total cancelation.

You are following the Eugene Melnyk method for running your business. His come, pay your money and then I will spend, FAILD.

By comparison, Andlauer's, I will spend, we will succeed and then you come. IS WORKING.

Please return to a more sensible approach. Content. Quality offering. And you will retain your viewers. And possibly regain the sub 40 year old. Remember, he/she will be 50 in 10 years, 60 in 20 and so on.
