TSN Radio: 680 CJOB and TNSE Sign Exclusive Deal For Radio Broadcast Rights

[Mortimer Snerd]

So how did you listen in the past 9 years?

Death of 1290?

^

 

[buyinnow]

I hope Leah Hextall gets the gig. I'd sync the OB feed to the tv feed.

 

[JetsCameHome]

I wonder what they are going to do with Munz and Edmonds?

Hopefully never to be heard from again.

 

[wpgfishfan]

No idea why everything is so secretive with this team. NFL teams always release stadium naming rights deals and radio deals

Is Chipman getting 3-5 million a year for this? What was 1290 deal

 

[sipowicz]

RIP TSN 1290, sorry won't miss the ECHL level on air Jets broadcast talent Beyak aside!

Hopefully only Beyak is allowed to move over to the Jets on OB! Start fresh with NEW PxP and color guys with good chops and not screaming Edmonds or nauseous Munz!

 

[sipowicz]

I’d assume Paul Edmonds and Brian Munz will continue to call radio for the Jets but won’t be able to contribute to TSN1290

Noooooooooo.......!

Actually OB should sell the rights to broadcast Ice games to 1290, after all they already have a WHL level broadcast crew!

 

[Zippity]

Kelly Moore is still around

 

[Moe Mantha]

Lone voice in crowd starts chanting...

"Keil."
"Back"
"Keil"
"Back"

... and it spreads from there...

(In all honestly, I heard him call some MJHL games a few years back, and he's past his prime. But i'd love to hear him call a game for the jets)

 

[purdy44]

Can't stand Kelly Moore so this sucks for me. TSN just reupped the video broadcast rights, though

Hopefully only Beyak is allowed to move over to the Jets on OB! Start fresh with NEW PxP and color guys with good chops and not screaming Edmonds or nauseous Munz!

Why would Beyak go anywhere? He'll still be doing the Jets tv broadcasts surely. He just won't be switching over to radio for national games.

 

[voyageur]

Mitch Peacock calling the games?

How about Curt Keilback, for old times sake? Peacock is a good play by play guy, that would be a good choice too.

 

[Samus]

They are employed by Bell media not the Jets.

You actually think Bell Media calls the shots as far as the Jets go? The team makes these decisions. Don’t be surprised if everything is status quo.
Here’s hoping Kelly Moore and Leah Hextall are part of the pregame show! Would sure beat listening to Kevin O...

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

They should get Marty Gold to provide off-colour commentary.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Let's get Investigative Reporter Richard Cloutier calling the games! Non-stop vocal fry and extreme French pronunciation FTMFW! Yeah! And get Courier doing some color too so we can hear him make weird little noises at the end of every comment. "What do you think of that play? hrm? Was that what Helly wanted to do there? rgtt?"

yeah, I've been listening to too much OB lately.

Hard to imagine what 1290 is going to be like with more hours to fill and even less money in the budget. An extra 6 hours a week of the video game show?? lol

Hard no to this. She’s more a Flyers fan than a Jets fan.

 

[Larabee]

Agree about Kelly Moore. He doesn’t have the voice for play by play. He’s also a bit of a dick.

 

[BigZ65]

Yikes. Kind of liked having broadcast and supplementary all on one channel. Not like 680 will have sports going all day.

Have heard a rumour that Power will go to a new format that is mostly sports.

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

Have heard a rumour that Power will go to a new format that is mostly sports.

I wonder if this new deal suggests Bell Media is planning to change 1290 to a new format?

 

[buyinnow]

Hard no to this. She’s more a Flyers fan than a Jets fan.

That's irrelevant. She's a true professional.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

That's irrelevant. She's a true professional.

Sure. And while we're at it, let's see if we can snag Glen Suitor to do the Bomber broadcasts.

 

[Channelcat]

Hextall is gawd awful. I wouldn't want Moore either. Irving is a legend, but way past his prime. I actually don't mind Edmunds.

 

[Moe Mantha]

Peter Warren hollering "GET ON WITH IT" to every post-game caller would be a vast improvement over the last 9 years

Forgot about Kevin O. choose not listen to anything he is on, he's terribad!
