The station doesn't do well in these tank nation times because the fans feel the station has an agenda to defend the owner to keep their 'relationship' together. And they earned that, for years we asked them to go hard at ownership and we'd get softball questions, so their fault. Couple that with a group of hosts who aren't Ottawa fans and there's a distinct lack of passion for the team, so in these times of Sens fans having their hearts ripped out and stomped on by Melnyck and no-heart play, the hosts are left to come back and 'gage' the interest of the fanbase. They know there's discontent, anger and frustration, they just don't feel it themselves because it would be like me learning the San Jose Sharks have injury concerns, I don't care beyond the 2 games Ottawa plays them. they need to reflect the angst and anger of the fanbase, so instead of passion, they give us rants and make fun of the team.
Irish Tommy is the leading passionate voice on that station. That says a lot.
