Toronto Sports Media Discussion Thread - v6 (2021 Edition)

Micheal Landsberg is clueless and needs to learn about the NHL If not he shouldn't be talking about it.

Landsberg doesnt drink. Nothing wrong with that but it is doubtful he has watch a lot of leaf games over the years without drinking.

Ottawa Fan coming in peace.

A bit of a pattern for Dan O. and Natasha S., both are soft spoken. Jay and Kate B. are (in my opinion) a tad more "loud mouthed!!!".

It seems that low key is out, bombastic is in...They have been doing the same thing here in terms of radio and TV the last 2-3 purge cycles. TSN seems to like the loud and bombastic...I notice that SN is following suit..

 

[Jozay]

Damn, tsn cutting costs big time

 

[Willy Styles]

Man, Overdrive with Coliacovo instead of noodles is probably the best show ever.

Carlo suffers from working with Lansberg who is such a snob, I can't stand listening to Lansberg. Carlos a nice guy that has great insight into sports, especially hockey. He's very enthusiastic and that can run some people the wrong away, but he comes across as genuinely like that.

It's wishful thinking tho producer Steph in noodles wife, so I don't think Carlo will ever replace him, but Carlo should just stop doing that dumb show with Lansberg and just fill in full-time on Overdrive and Leafs Lunch

Winnipeg too:

 

[Golden_Jet]

Winnipeg too:

Wow, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Hamilton all gone, wow.
Probably could go on mains.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Wow, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Hamilton all gone, wow.
Probably could go on mains.

They literally shut Vancouver off mid show and cut to green days “good riddance”

 

[Warden of the North]

Overdrive must carry the entirety of all of TSN's radio shows.

Wow.

What? That makes no sense. What happens to all the paid commercials.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Wow.

I googled, I guess Winnipeg and Vancouver had different stations doing the radio broadcast.
Sucks for those markets.

 

[Nylanderthal]

The ones that were flooding the coffers so full that bell decided to shut it down? Who knows, bell probably gave them a refund and said tough shit.

Yes each local station had its own set of shows tailored to the market.

 

[Warden of the North]

Yup. Just cut sports talk off and played a message basically saying " This is now a music station"

What a kick in the nuts.

 

[Dave92]

Crazy.

 

[Stigma]

Crazy.

Geez. This all sounds like it came straight from a Simpsons episode. Like Cartoonishly evil management. Insane.

 

[Kurtz]

Obviously a lot of behind the scenes people affected and hopefully they'll be able to move on quickly but there's no sympathy for the on air hacks.

 

[Joey Hoser]

The TSN morning show is unlistenable at this point.

Here's the routine:

Carlo says something dumb.

Lansberg and AK politely and sensitively try to explain why what he said was dumb.

Carlo fails to understand, doubles down, gets louder, and says more dumb things.

Lansberg and AK move on to the next topic.

Repeat.

 

[Auston 316]

Bingo.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Winnipeg too:

All of the twitter accounts were deleted, too. Just brutal

 

[dbr2]

Yup. Just cut sports talk off and played a message basically saying " This is now a music station"

What a kick in the nuts.

Kind of want to hear this.

I wonder if Overdrive has a shake up coming.

Changing times guys, traditional media is taking a hit. Less and less audience. Streaming, smart phones (so pre-recorded) is dominating.

When Covid hit, it accelerated the demise.

Sports stations now. Top 40 next, alternative, news, religion, special programming is next. Can you remember the last time you bought a magazine or newspaper. Or did not have your phone in hand.

Very true... nobody is making the morning commute anymore... nobody is listening.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Crazy.

WTF kinda shit is that Bell?
