News and Blog Report: Edmonton Sports Radio Thread - Part 6

[Oilers Snow Fan]

Anyone notice today on the Jason Gregor show when he was praising norm McDonald he plays a clip where he edits out the "fruity" in the fruity fish line

Tyler Yaremchuk leaving is amazing news and he barely chimes in on the DFO podcast so that's a win win, now it's time to get rid of Mathew Iwanyk.

Just wait tell they reveal his bigger role at DFO you'll love it

Looks like Frank has taken Yaremchuk under his wing.

Frank poses the way me and my friends used to pose in grade 10. Neat

I'm surprised its taken this long.
Lots of people moving direct to podcast and I'm loving it. I used to listen to a lot of Oilers now only because it was one of the few places to get consistent hockey talk. I'm of the opinion they flew the advertisement coup though and had to stop subscribing. Seriously that show can't go 10 seconds without spitting out something about some advertiser segment. Now for our daily transaction update brought to you by some guys pizza... followed by 20 secs about said guys pizza joint... then 5 seconds on the transactions.. then back to another segment brought to you by some other place haha. Seriously though it got to a point where I stopped enjoying the show (I don't know how anyone could bear this show live with normal commercials also) so I unsubscribed.

TSN 1260 I'm guessing just can't justify a show dedicated purely to hockey. I can understand. The hosts love all sports for one and probably don't want to talk about just hockey. And two it would likely take away from the other shows hockey talk perhaps.
Either way for the consumer these days it's not really our problem. We know what we want.. and we'll find it. I want hockey talk.. not basketball.. racing.. football. Don't want to hear no guilt support the Elks crap. I know my interests thank you very much.

TSN radio or whomever is responsible for putting together podcasts of shows likely just needs to step up their game.
Gregor's Show puts out some of my favorite talk of hockey. But I'd have to pick apart 4 hours of podcasts to get at it while they talk about stuff I have no interest in.
Simply pulling that content out into a pure hockey podcast would make me an instant subscriber.

As it is I'm going to try some of these national ones and hope local radio steps up their podcast game eventually.
Now that I think of it there's probably some great ones locally I don't even know about. Would a sticky in this thread or somewhere be a good idea?
Just a place to list hockey podcasts, or even an online directory.

The Radio is making the content daily.. they just don't do a good job of making it available for consumption.
I dunno just how I feel I guess.

I'm lucky to have been in the podcast game for years now as its the only viable option with the timezone difference here in Australia. Once a year I might listen live online if it's trade deadline day and can't fathom how people can listen live with all the advertisements. Drives me insane.
Agree about the Gregor show, it's actually my go-to Oilers podcast now. It's not too difficult to filter out the non-hockey stuff as the segments are titled by the guest. You can also guarantee the opening segments on the days following the games. I exclusively just cycle through the segments with Rishaug, Ferraro, Gazzola and Woodley, Seravalli's segment on Lowetide, and Friedman's segment on Oilers Now. Add in 31 Thoughts, Spittin Chiclets and DFO and it's a pretty full lineup.

Couldn't disagree more. Nice to have a younger view on things rather than listening to all these 50+ year olds talking about the good old hockey days.

I think Yaremchuk is a bright young talent, well spoken and intelligent, and I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says.
I don't understand why he gets hate from some people.

Total opposite for me, hope he never comes back and will avoid anything he is apart of.

Matthew Iwanyk is one of my favourite hosts. Best is when he teams with LoweTide.

Nah. Hes good. Thats what most think anyways.
I guess haters gotta hate.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

I know we talk about this every year...but it simply cannot be understated how badly the Oilers need to move on from Jack Michaels. He completely missed the first goal because he was reminding us about Neal and Frolik signing PTOs.

Love when he rambles off a leading question towards a guest making sure to "wink wink nudge nudge" a few political opinions on route.

By the time he actually kicks back to the guest you have no idea if there was a question in there somewhere.

 

[OilersSnowFan]

I don't walk through Gold Coast that frequently, but it would have been surprising to be walking down Rush St and seeing that group on the patio.

I don't know why, but I can't stand that new guy on 1260. I think his name is harnan or I don't even know. All I remember is that when we signed Hyman, he went on Lowetide and sounded like a miserable baby. Whining non stop. He also sounds like he was 5 marbles in his mouth when he talks.
