TSN 690 and Other Montreal Based Media (Part 10)

[Inkling]

Is there any clarity on the Dan Robertson replacement? Is it Peter Ruttgaizer? He and Campbell shared pre-season. Peter did the opening night and I understand he's doing tonight as well, but I haven't heard either of them formally announced as the full-time play by play guy. The Morning Show had a segment with him this morning discussing opening night, but they never actually came out and called him Dan's replacement. There's an odd lack of transparency that I don't remember when John Bartlett left and Dan was named the replacement.

I like him well enough and think he'd be fine as the play by play guy. Dan is a tough guy to replace though.

Tsn 690 was the best station when they had the line up of tsn guys (Lebrun, Mckenzie, McGuire, Ferraro) almost everyday. They really benefited from the strong English speaking crew at tsn. But now they're almost all gone, it's seems 98.5 and 91.9 have the better local guys to cover the Habs.

It's gonna be hard for them to keep the station open, especially when Melnyk leaves the station. The only good thing for them is that they are now owned by tsn who has deep pockets.

Campbell was calling the Als game online tonight. When is the first Rocket broadcast? Will be interesting to see who is doing the play by play (assuming 690 will still be broadcasting some Laval games).

English Habs media is pretty much consisting of just Sean Campbell now talking about the game for 8 hours, calling the game, then taking callers after the game from Gallo.

Campbell hasn't been calling Habs games on 690 since the regular season as started. Peter Ruttgaizer and Sergio have been calling Hab games since the season started I believe. Not sure if Ruttgaizer as the full time gig calling Habs games on 690 or not. Campbell is still calling Als and Rocket games though.

Good to know - Haven't been on 690 in a while
Still sucks losing LeBrun, Lu, Robertson this season

I’m only occasionally listening to the afternoon show on 690 but otherwise I’ve moved on to Franco radio where they spend actual money on hosts and get pretty good guests throughout the day.

I used to switch back and forth before Campbell took over the station. I don’t even bother with the morning guys anymore.

Oh, good to know. Which stations do you like?

There are really only two Franco radio sports options. BPM with its all day sports format. And in the evenings, Les Amateurs de Sports on 98.5 FM.

Other than that, JiC gives a pretty good show with lots of funny segments on Spanre, weekdays at 5 PM.

I still pretty much listen to Melnick's show every day when I'm able to listen. I only listen to Gallo and Campbell when they have some of their guests on like Pagnotta.

Now I usually switch over and listen to a bit of Leafs Lunch on TSN 1050 when the Gallo and Campbell show is on, especially when there are issues going on over at Leafland. Leafs issues always seem to get way more overblown and is far more entertaining to listen to compared to when there's any issues in Habsland.

Cool I will check those out! Thanks!

I cannot stand Campbell. Gallo is bearable. Sergio Momesso talks too much because his new play by play guy doesn’t talk too much.

Over-under when TSN690 gets shut down?

TSN shut down 1290 TSN Winnipeg years ago.

 

[Runner77]

TSN shut down 1290 TSN Winnipeg years ago.

Biggest mistake the CRTC made was allowing all those sports radio stations to fall under the purview of Bell. What a disaster.

 

[Adam Michaels]

TSN shut down 1290 TSN Winnipeg years ago.

I believe they also shut down in Vancouver. TSN 1040. The morning guys went to work in the morning and found out on the spot that the radio station was pulled off the air. Nobody who worked at the station were given a heads up. They all found out that day.

Aaron Ward is a wild windbag. Never have I heard someone use so many words to evoke so little substance.

He must be driving those in his entourage, bonkers.

 

[Runner77]

I did a double take this morning when I heard JiC suggest in all seriousness to Bob Hartley, that it was time to move Dach to the wing and to put Drouin back at center.

Hartley’s shock at this truly clueless suggestion, was palpable.

And then I see the above item getting reprised on the insane gutter that is Twitter and of course, reactions were scathing:



One guy took JiC behind the shed with this: “JiC, what a f’n steaming, fat pig.”

Man I love Bob. I was just pulling up to my daughter's school to drop her off when they were having this exchange and I was dying.

I’ve been listening to his segment with Brunet and Lemay and there have been several hilarious moments.

Ever since he was on Antichambre, which was the first time I believe he was doing media, he would always come out with an expression that would kill me.

So I absolutely love listening to him. However I haven't heard any of the Brunet/Hartley segments because we're back home. So I will go listen to them on the website.

 

[Suzuki x 14]

Hartley has been great.
I really laughed last week when he said they lost a Thrashers player in Montreal "Il jouait a cachete, paré, pas paré"

He's a gold mine of expressions.

JiC threatened a lawsuit against trash blog Hockey30.

JiC threatened a lawsuit against trash blog Hockey30.

Man, anything goes over there. You rarely see a link on that site and their user comments are a complete, unmonitored cesspool.

Where did you see JiC’s threat to take an action?

After listening closely he didn't threaten a lawsuit, but he called them out, he knows the identity of the person behind the blog.
