TSN 690 and Other Montreal Based Media (Part 10)

A little over a year later, Dutchy managed to make it back.

Great to hear that he’s at least feeling good. Always thought he was a likeable guy and wish him well.

Good he is back...
Looks like he is dating Kate Beirness
thought Dutch was married??

I think Matthew Ross can be given the benefit of the doubt on this one. It was a terrible take and he's certainly taken the heat for it but the apology is well written and seems sincere. Not sure why people want to keep piling on by questioning his sincerity considering I'm sure most had no idea who he was prior to this incident.

Im not sure I really get what he’s said that’s so wrong? Let me start by saying I know nothing about baseball, but the guys clearly fat? He’s also, I’m guessing, an extremely highly paid athlete. There’s no way that an athlete should look like that in 2022. It is embarrassing.

Forgetting all of that though, he’s a radio host, he should be leaning into this and accepting the flack and listeners that it creates.

What about linesmen in football? They are fat... and the year is 2022. Are they embarrassing?

Always a treat to listen to Gord Miller doing his weekly segment on 690. He’s chock full of riveting takes, anecdotes, statistical anomalies. Can rattle off events, names, dates and stats without effort on almost anything. Talk about added value for listeners.

Linesmen aren’t athletes and aren’t paid to be. I’m British so assuming you mean actual football but the fat linesmen also do get abused by thousands on a weekly basis

I mean north american football offensive and defensive linesmen. They are both on the larger side and are absolutely athletes.

Tom Jones is essentially Pat Boone, Melnick. I hate self proclaimed music people with horrible taste in music.

And Andie is as punk as Daft Punk.

I don’t listen to Marinaro’s podcast but I have caught him on JiC’s Spanre slot.

I’ve honestly learned nothing of value from his interactions other than witnessing a sad, drawn out clown show.

Amateur hour yet again on 690. How can you fumble the VPs interview? O yea, hire an incompetent woke frat boy as the 3rd chair. Brutal.

 

[Runner77]

Mapper is routinely the first guest on JiC’s BPM morning show as well as being a daily contributor to JiC’s weekday afternoon Spanre show.

Maybe it’s time they made a musical/ special effects intro segment for him. One of the coolest, unassuming reporters on the beat, you’ll find.

Is matthew ross out at tsn690?

I don't see his show listed in the audio section from the "shows" tab anymore.

690 only parts ways with staff if they’ve refused to get vaccinated or if they go rogue on them by setting up a non-affiliated podcast/ YT channel.

If I had to guess, they probably told him to lay low until the dust settles.

He’s already shown contrition by issuing an apology, so that is probably part of the equation.

Although, they could have continued running the show with a guest host for an extended time, so that is perplexing.

 

[rik schau]

Whats' with the radio station? should they not be having some live coverage or something? Is there no live broadcast on weekends?

they could run that show with a baboon and google translate. Game plan is absolutely garbage

 

[Runner77]

Nice, short article (in French) about JiC and how much of a hustler he’s been to get where he’s now.

I despise how he lets his political views seep into his discourse now and again but respect the man for his never quit attitude.

[jaffy27]

WTF???

 

[Runner77]

WTF???

Follow the money?

Meantime, his departure is leaving behind the spectre of a trash option like Campbell becoming his replacement.
