[sampollock]

I can confirm. I was never a Marinaro listener, but his podcast is quite entertaining.

690 stil has the mitch love in show

According to Michel Villeneuve, JiC has been fired at BPM Sports. Paul Houde will replace him this fall.

He also says that his job on TVA Sports isn't secure either.

I find this Villeneuve-JCL feud entertaining on Twitter, for some sick reason. Will make some pop corn today

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Yup ,Sauce Marinara is just dominating the scene , never was a fan of his but good on him for pushing some good hockey content on the regular.
Montreal sports media is dead so hate on tony all you want guy is putting in the work.

This is my face when that S-I-C-K song drops at the start of the video though , god help us all

Interesting... I wonder why they let him go?

Cost I can understand, but were the ratings that bad?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Apparently the ratings weren't good, especially when you consider what they were paying him.

I'm not his biggest fan, but I enjoyed his shows in the morning.

Despite that, if Paul Houde is the one who will replace him, then they got someone very good to take his place.

 

[Adam Michaels]

JiC confirms his departure.

 

[sampollock]

and yet mitch beatnick still lives on air

 

[Team_Spirit]

TVAsports bleeds money but they will never fire a foxhole buddy even if he's universally disliked and has bad ratings.

Praying RDS/Bell will recoup the Saturday games + playoffs rights when they renegociate

marinaro was smart to ditch TSN690...his podcast is actually quite good and last night's episode was f***ing hysterical

I can confirm. I was never a Marinaro listener, but his podcast is quite entertaining.

As long as he doesn't overdo his clowning...

His last episode where he was taking calls was just pure cringe-fest...

He was not even trying to have a discussion with the callers.

I mean, I like that he's trying to make it entertaining and stuff but this was overkill.

Finally some entertainment on habs lunch with Campbell calling Gallo stupid and Gallo getting annoyed, priceless !

JiC confirms his departure.

I had no idea JC was even doing radio. I thought he had quit when he was hired by TVA Sport.

He had eft when he got the TV gig. On the radio before TV, he was doing the 3PM show.

Then he left that to do TV. And last year, he was hosting the morning show on the radio while doing his TV show in the evening.

But after 1 year of morning show, he was let go.

I feel like Marinaro is out of ideas to talk about at this point in the summer. But his podcast episodes in the summer are getting high viewing numbers, probably because Habs fans are more starved for content than in the regular season. So I give him a pass for at least trying to do something in the summer, even though he doesn't look to be all that into the topics.

Agreed he is rambling

Over the years I went from disliking JiC to being found of him. Michel Villeneuve was always annoying and very vicious, seeing him going at JiC's throat for over a year was pretty disappointing, I mean he's a full grown man and he's acting like a child there.

I like JiC. At times I'm tired of his shtick and he pushes a lot of his political views into his sports talk, which I'm not crazy about. But overall, I find him entertaining.

I was listening to his show in the car in the mornings. I used to listen to TSN 690. But since last year I was listening to BPM Sports.

And if it is indeed Paul Houde who will replace him, I will continue to listen because I'm a fan of Paul's.

I love Paul Houde as an actor, a comic and a radio host. He's good at everything!

 

[Kimota]

Paul Houde is a weird choice to replace JC as they have a completely different style. I guess we'll see.

Stéphane Gonzalez is leaving TVA Sport. And I heard that three others may leave. JC may in the lot as well. Maybe they'll hire Michel Villeneuve as replacement.

Self absorbed ass hole that is paid a premium.

 

[Runner77]

How did Gallo and Campbell get to replace the afternoon show hosts today? Gross!
