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

[The Blue Baron]

I thought OB was going to use Kelly Moore as the radio PBP voice of the Jets.

If so I’ll never tune in. EVER!

 

[The Blue Baron]

I think everyone agrees that the logical choice for the Jets PBP person is hometown boy Rod Black!

Think of all the lame puns he can come up with!

Hell NO try again. Sarcasm detector meter just broke.

Back in the days of Jets 1.0 I loaned to probably 90% of the games on CJOB as 1. Hardly any games were televised. And 2.as a kid in rural Manitoba it wasn’t easy to get to games.
So I like the nostalgia of listening to CJOB games but really I watch most games on TV... but not everyone has cable/satellite , and a lot of people work shift work and gave no choice but to listen to games on the radio.
I’m still a little miffed at CJOB as they were nothing but negative towards Winnipeg getting a NHL back during the run up of The return of the Jets...but I’m pretty much over that...

Yikes pretty negative thread here.

I don’t listen to the radio call but I think allot of people seem to.

I only happen to catch the radio when I'm out driving around in the evenings - which is quite a lot when you've got 82+ nights of hockey and kids to shuttle to activities and it's not a global pandemic!

Than Paul edmunds? Like who?

Someone who doesn't make me think of Chris Farley every time I hear him calling a game.

I liked Munz a bit better, but Edmonds and Munz are 2 extreme ends of PXP histrionics. I'd prefer an announcer who's level of excitement falls somewhere between the extremes of WWF and PGA commentators.

 

[Roughneck1]

Paul Edmonds isn’t that bad c’mon. Just happy it’s on CJOB. Live in rural Manitoba. 1290 was a problem to get a clear feed from sometimes.

 

[Jetter76]

He’s the real life Brockmire.

 

[Yukon Joe]

Nice! I was rooting for Edmonds, and Jamie Thomas is just a pro. We only know him from Jets online stuff, but he's worked in the industry for 20 years in other markets.

Not really a huge Munz fan, but always sad to see someone (apparently) lose their job. I hope he lands on his feet.

Anyone!

 

[sipowicz]

Kelly Moore to do the pre and post game shows on OB', solid choice and a huge upgrade on Kevin O or RR!

 

[Channelcat]

I like this. Edmunds and Thomas are a great choice imho. Not that I'll be listening.

 

[Guardian17]

It will be nostalgic to listen to Jets games on CJOB on the car radio again.

Well at least you will be able to tune in anywhere in Winnipeg or in a 100 KM or more radius of Winnipeg unlike with TSN 1290 where you can’t even pick up their crappy impotent weak signal in parts of Winnipeg!

Heard games will also be simulcast on Power 97!

My kid played hockey with Paul’s kid one spring so I got to know Paul and his wife a bit and they are both really nice people.

I would be surprised if Munz is totally out? I wonder where is gets slotted?

sounds like OB’ has a full compliment for Jets coverage, think Munz will stay with the dying sports station known as TSN 1290 at least until they change the format.

Gonna be a tough go for 1290 getting advertising dollars as a sports station when you broadcast no local sports teams or maybe the Goldeyes will take them and there geriatric following, guess you could run Depends ads!

 

[WaveRaven]

Darn I hoping for a new direction. He is awful IMHO.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I have no evidence to support this, but I do suspect that local legend Cactus Jack Wells was under the influence every time he was on air. I mean, something was making him butcher all those names.

He was known to drink a bit.

 

[Wolf357]

Any change in rural broadcasts?
Brandon’s 101.1 FM used to broadcast games..hoping they will continue. I don’t have tv at the lake (Pelican Lake) 101.1 FM used to come in crystal clear so I’m hoping they will continue...

lol yup!

1290 ratings I’m sure are good all things considered BUT it is really quality radio without Hustler in it? Mmmmm me thinks not.

Are you calling me old!?!?!

Didn’t mean the guys that go to Goldeyes games to drink!
