Probably no change unless they bring in someone to run the boards and replace Eric. He was on-air mostly from 7 to Noon, so right now he's doing 6 hours.

It's too bad. Wil played the straight man to Nielsen's antics. Without Wil, Dustin will have to be more serious which will hurt the show.
Hopefully TSN radio is not in too much financial trouble. Would hate to lose this station.

Sad to hear the news. Loved the duo of Wil and Dustin as they worked well together. Plus, it was good that they had fun and joked about non-sports issues as well. made the morning drive good while stuck in traffic.

Recent intern Tyler Yaremchuk has been brought in to replace Lt. E. on Lowetide's show. This clearly shows that Fraser's dismissal was a budget move by Bell.
One man shows are never as interesting as having the banter between two radio hosts who have good chemistry. Really unfortunate for Fraser and the product quality will likely suffer moving forward IMO. I'll still listen here in Ontario, but disappointed with TSN's decision.
The longer shows need 2 hosts. Lowetide's and Dave Jamieson's weekday shows are only 2 hours long and can get by with one host, although Jamieson/Iwanuk and Gregor make appearances late in their shows. I would mention Dean Millard but he gets cut short or pre-empted by hockey and football a lot. Plus, he can also run interviews from the daytime shows.

I'm still laughing at the winner who could go anywhere in the world for any sports event and the guy chooses Nascar? Nascar? I figure if you're not leaving North America you're doing it wrong.

Yes, he took NASCAR. I'd pay my own way to NASCAR and head to Australia or Europe if they're paying.

exactly, this was way more about the plane tickets across an ocean than the 95 bucks to see cars drive

No kidding. Is that even a hard ticket to get? At least if you're not going to take advantage of traveling somewhere worthwhile then ask for the Super Bowl where it's difficult to get tickets.

Nascar live is actually pretty good, Ive been to the Daytona 500 in a suite which was in the top 5 of sporting events Ive been to, and been to the track in Phoenix as well and had a blast as well. That said Super Bowl or if you want the flight overseas then the Aussie Rules Football final. Maybe the Video Game finals in Japan lol

I saw Jimmy Johnson win in Daytona when I was younger, and besides me not giving much of a shit about Nascar I especially don't understand the appeal live
it's not like you're in a crowd of fellow fans cheering for a single team
but obviously I'm not everybody because those races are packed

Sometimes miracles
Part of me would love to watch the Champions League final just for the spectacle of the event, plus going to Europe would be awesome. Or even something like the Men's Volleyball World Championships, just to see the best of those guys in the whole world. That game at a high enough level is fun.
First thing that came to mind for me is the Champions League Final as well, that is a marquee event in the sporting world + it's in Europe.

The type of person that chooses NASCAR is also the type of person that isn't interested in traveling or experiencing different cultures. He's probably never been out of Alberta.

Kind of bummed, I liked Fraser as a straight man to Nielsons clowning. With this and the SJW lunch show they have been airing TSN doesn't give me much reason to listen to their station.

After listening to lowetide he made it sound more like it was about Lt Eric getting a promotion
