Marinaro getting a full show on BPM Sports starting on August 26th. Between 10 and noon. Show called Le Forum.

Same time slot and name as he was on TSN690.

Is he walking away from the Sick franchise?

Is he walking away from the Sick franchise?

I doubt it. He gets his Franco and Anglo audience. Plus he does the sick podcasts at night, usually after a game time wise

 

[Adam Michaels]

Is he walking away from the Sick franchise?

No. He'll do both. Even does a podcast on CF Montreal too.

 

[sampollock]

The French one I can't understand.

 

[TRG]

Tony is okay-ish at smaller doses, 2 hours? f*** non

 

[HuGo Sham]

I enjoy Nilan's podcast, and if you want to bust out laughing, watch this interview with Andre Roy.
his tortorella stories, he showered with crosby and lemieux

very very funny

Why is tony the biggest media when it comes to habs in the city No disrespect to Tony or anything , I actually like him and enjoy some of the podcast but boy is sports radio dead in Montreal.

 

[habdynasty]

Im surprised Tony is crawling back to radio after saying it's all dead and has no future blah blah . Maybe its because his wife won't let him scream and yell in the basement lol

Montreal sports radio tends to focus on whatever's making headlines, and in the summer, that often isn't the Habs. For TSN690 (a quasi-sports radio station), programing also constitutes all sorts of random bullshit, like Music Hour with Melnick and Friends, and interviews with guest musicians, and comedians, rather than sticking to sports and sports guests.

Marinaro used to be adamant about not talking Habs during the summer, choosing instead to cover Montreal FC (or whatever they're calling themselves now) and the Als. He obviously changed his tune when he started his Habs podcast - clearly, money talks. At the end of the day, no matter the season, Habs talk seemingly always trumps everything else, even if there’s bigger sports news happening. Tony has figured that out, as has, to some extent, BPM Sports; TN690 is still playing catch-up.

This is my take anyway

AND 690 sucks. Jimmy G is a host??? clown

AND 690 sucks. Jimmy G is a host??? clown

Yeah, and considering the already low bar for hosts at TSN690, that doesn’t reflect well on JG. Honestly, I haven’t listened to any shows on TSN690 since the NHL draft, so I can’t really comment on whether the hosts have gotten better or worse. I’ll just take your word for it.

There is zero hype around the team in the city and there hasn't been in years besides the 2021 run. The last time the team had the city buzzing was the Subban/Price era.

 

[sampollock]

Listening to TSN Ottawa radio, so much better then 690

they tie in to FOX in Dallas sports talk
not Jimmy G acting dumb on 690

 

[rik schau]

Haven't listened to the station for sometime, couldn't get it any which way however for some reason. Gave her a go recently and picked a heap of old segments and heard the amazing news of landing Laine, what a cracker move!

Also heard the news of Jonny Gaudreau and his brother killed in a terrible accident, so tragic. Heard that bit delivered by that morning show imbecile that sounds like he's a few bricks short of a load. He said they were murdered! What ignoramus calls it that? What an absolute dunce to not know the difference between a murder and being killed. And to think he's one of the voices for Montreal, embarrassing and pathetic,so unprofessional.

Meanwhile, on BPM Sports, the guys were really distraught. They even broke down in tears on the air thinking about Johnny's 2 kids and his brother Matthew having his first baby on the way.

They also recalled how they felt when Pedneault passed way a few hours before the first show of their new season on the air. And they all worked with Pedneault on the station. So they were close to him.

All of that really had them really emotional.

A death can be a very emotional,the closer one is to the deceased and the type of death all play a part.

New season of 32 Thoughts the Podcast starts today. The new co-host is Bukauskas to replace the departing Marek.

https://x.com/i/web/status/1832034038112284981

I'm a fan of Kyle's, so at least they replace Marek with someone I really like. I will listen later to see how his and Friedman's chemistry sounds like.

I heard Elliote tried to recruit Jimmy, but TSN upped his salary because they absolutely did not want to lose Jimmy.
