TSN 690 and Other Montreal Based Media (Part 10)

[Adriatic]

Yes they do. Everyone doesn't live where there's multiple options for TV and internet service. With Starlink now available for us in rural communities we now have another option available to choose from but that wasn't always the case

You gotta call bell, bitch a little and threaten to leave. That always works!

I have Bell Fibe and searched for TSN and only got the channels, but no idea if I ever got it before.

Though the radio section was always free.

Not familiar with Bell Fibe TV but it seems that TSN 690 was on channel 980 and TSN 1050 Toronto was on channel 977. I'm also missing Sportsnet FAN 590, some FM stations like OZFM Newfoundland, The Edge 102.1 plus others.

I can't seem to find a full list of the radio channels they dropped from their programming today but that's not surprising with Bell.

Yup use to do that in the past and would get a discount for a year until they seemingly stopped doing it.

If I call threatening to leave this time I just might cancel and finally leave with them cutting channels and yet another $5 increase to my satellite bill starting next month.

You gotta call at least once a year, like a dentist check-up lol. Preferably the month before your credits expire.

Is it really worse than late 90s / early 00s Habs?

Depends what someone likes, some like the ultra-commercial diluted brand of today's pond hockey void of fiery intense combativeness, some don't.

Who cares they are rebuilding, my point is going for it every year got us trotting out David Deharnais and Max Paciorrety as our 2 best forwards for a decade what are we talking about , how you can be mad at a rebuild is beyond me if you're a fan who's had to watch the garbage we've had on the ice for 30 years.

At least Suzuki and Caufield don't have stone hands like every single player we've had since Kovalev and Koivu. I'm happy to have them and also happy to finish bottom 5 this year

WWT, I can't tell if you're asking a question or making a statement with the incoherent run on sentence that morphed into a paragraph. Punctuation is everybody's friend. lol

Who's that?

Who's that?

some clown that shows up on 690 in the morning.

It's not Bergy using another moniker? lol

You gotta love how detached from the average listener some of these rich Fs are, who say the most unrelatable things.

Pee-air McGuire is in Dublin visiting his daughter (and then headed to Belfast to cover a hockey tournament involving US college teams) and just finished his 690 segment.

When Melnick asks what McGuire’s daughter is doing, McGuire mentions how she’s moving to Barcelona for some job in January and how « she loves opportunity » (who doesn’t?) and how « she’s a risk-taker » (with multi millionaire dad as a safety net or helping her finance her dreams, some risk-taker).

And then Melnick asks how many times McGuire has been to Ireland, including for golf tournaments and McGuire casually mentions « over 10 times » — you know, like the rest of us do.

I mean, more power to McGuire, he’s done well for himself. He also has enough broadcasting experience to be able to deflect comments or questions that sound like ego stroking invitations — and this was one of those times where showing more restraint, would have gone a long way, IMHO.

Melnick is such a loser
Right up there with Jimmy G

[rik schau]

they have Mitch's grunge music show to play

Go on, ya reckon that hipster-doofus is responsible for all the carnage in la poubelle province? nah, that seems bloody unlikely. lol

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Hockey fans and gym fans are agressive. Benoit Rodrigue is an excellent story teller creating all kind of plot theories. His theories on Patrick Laine and Josh Roy are amazing. But people are forgetting the second degree humour.

Yeah but, he builds a backyard rink every winter. That has to make him an expert.

Why is Gallo interviewing fellow clueless co-worker, Luca Scott, who attended Thursday’s game against the Pens, « to see Sidney Crosby? »

At least get Marco D’Amico in there.

Holy crap, Scott adds zero input of value.
