Windsor or Sarnia?

Windsor or Sarnia?
Having lived in southern Ontario my entire life (Toronto, and London which I was at for University). Seeing flags, in general (outside of government buildings), is rare, but you absolutely see more Canadian flags. Also a bunch of Italian or other non-American countries in places like Vaughn (generally with a Canadian flag).i dunno i moved to sw ontario from northern ontario and i see just as many american flags as i do canadian around here, also people here travel to the states way more and have family/friends across the border
The big question that does not get addressed much. What the hell is going to happen in the next TV deal? Rogers got burned, BCE is probably gloating, and the business is well beyond what CBC can afford. Unless the NHL find somebody with bigger pockets like a Amazon or Google, I could see a market correction.
Yes the fans 590 new schedule announcement actually revealed that the show will now be two hours... Maybe they can start covering more than the leafs every day.Any word if hockey central will be back

They could sell off part of the NHL deal to Bell/TSN to recoup some money, but haven't decided to go that direction.
Get the podcast, it 90 minutes long so you get to save 30 minutes of advert.It's great that america gets hockey central for 2 hrs but what about canada outside of Toronto
We use to get the nhl network but that went away once sportsnet took over the nhl rights
Toronto is honestly the worst Canadian city i've been to.
Its not a tourist city. And if you swear to have a population over a million you should be able to offer something. And your 5 million population is bogus cause you include other cities. These aren't even counties or suburbs. these are actual cities lol. Pittsburgh could include Philadelphia for their population while at it. its nonsense.
In their lust for that all-important southern Ontario demographic, Sportsnet, TSN and the CBC risk offending hockey fans in six other pretty significant markets. If the only road to that coveted 7 p.m. Saturday night CBC slot with Hockey Night in Canada is through Toronto, an inevitable side effect is the Leafs will become the most hated team in the country.
End of an era as Primetime Sports is no more after today. Didnt involve layoffs as it already happened months ago but it is a reshuffle of the deck chairs. You kinda knew Jeff Blair wasnt big enough for the spot.
Hate to sound like a grumpynold guy (I'm 33) but going from good sports talk to two dudes trying to be gimmicky/memes all the time is a downgrade.
What I find odd is how the NHL did not insist Rogers continue with their original plan of showing more game son Saturday night than they do. Shoalts' book talks about how they were pushing that, and the NHL wanted it. The first season it was happening, but then they cut the other games out. Maybe there is half your problem....
Quality, hard hitting sports radio is officially dead in Toronto. Nothing worth listening to any more. Yes, that includes the clown show on the other end of the dial.

For a good while there I had a 3 podcast rotation that I could listen to daily; Prime Time Sports, Tim & Sid (first podcast, then radio) and The Tony Kornheiser Show. I stopped listening to Tim & Sid when they switched to television and it made for a terrible podcast. Now Prime Time Sports is over. And ten years ago I was certain Kornheiser's show would be the first to kick the bucket.
I watched some of Tim & Sid yesterday and it was awkward. Whatever dynamism used to exist with the TV is all gone. Now it just look like a radio show on TV (which is exactly what it is) but with a big useless set.
I'm not sure Rogers really thought this through. To save money on the radio side they have decided to make their television product worse.
Yeah they made a big fuss about how many games you would have available, especially on Saturdays. But that changed almost immediately and they started rolling games behind premium packages. It actually feels like there is less hockey on TV that there used to be....though to be fair I have since cut SN1 and SN360, so I miss all of those games.
Edit: Oh awesome! Looking at this weeks Sportsnet schedule, despite living in the Leafs broadcasting region, their game versus Washington on Wednesday is on a premium channel.
**** you Sportsnet. I can't wait until some shady app like DAZN steals all your hockey content
