There's one glaringly obvious difference between Walker and Dhaliwal, and it isn't the quality of their content or work ethic

Easy. Sportsnet employs Randip and Sat still they also have a guy on their payroll named Raja.

This has nothing to do with race

Also Bik is there as well.

Such a weird day to make changes. Wouldn't it be more effective to unveil a whole new lineup to start the hockey season?

Yeah, I wonder if it lined up with poor Q3 fiscal numbers? If they operate on Dec 31 fiscal year end then this is exactly two weeks after a quarter has wrapped up and a good time to make decisions.

Dhaliwal is great on Twitter, but awful on radio.

 

[Addison Rae]

Writing was on the wall for Rick from my time at Sportsnet. Jawn was probably the nicest guy there (aside from Sat) but where did he even come from, I know a lot of the 1040 guys had zero idea where he came from at all.


Cam Mitchell was also a great guy but Art is the main producer on that job so zero need for two.

I’m wondering if they maybe tried to use Irf in Ricks spot as he’s been let go off from TV.

I despise Dan Russell, but if I was 650, I'd go to him and see if he would come back and run a show for a few hours a day.....I'd give him a chance, especially if he competed with the dismal "Donnie and the Moj" who are now more interested in entertaining themselves rather than their listeners. Maybe Dan could learn from his past mistakes? I do doubt it - checking on his twitter, he appears to be worse than ever.....but that's where 650 is at - almost anything would be an improvement.

Rintoul from 9am to 12pm, will cause me to move over from 1040 from 10am to 12pm. 12pm to 2pm is still lost though. Reach Deep? No thanks.

Is that not when halford and brough are in? You’re switching away from them? I thought they were the darlings around here.

Halford and brough do the morning show 6-9am for the past few months

No, they are still good until 10am. I guess I am getting old because I do find they have too much non-sports related content on their show. The best sports talk show, imo, is Maddog Chris Russo on Sirius 82. Nearly no non-sports related talk - pure sports. Just no hockey.

Oh sorry, my bad. I am behind the times.

I enjoy the ones from the us who sound like they’re straight from the Chicago super fans skits. Mike North I think is one of them. I just enjoy listening to how he talks hah

Halford and Brough are 6am to 10am, then Boring and the Dull from 10am to 2pm and then Price and Sekeres 2pm to 6pm.

Dan Russel can definitely run his own show but he's not really fit for modern times. He's condescending and likes to cut off callers when they don't agree with him. Honestly, he deserves to be out of a job.

So how did Ryan Henderson get the job he had so young? Basically was producing the main show at 1040 at 19 or 20 and even got his own segments and commercials ...must have some sort of connections yes?

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Am I the only one who only listens to podcasts? Like even TSN and SN, I just listen to the interviews and shows that interest me, And to them when it suits...
My day would basically be something like downloading the post-game from the night before, download the hits from Ray Ferraro, Bob mac, maybe a Jpat, Drancer, Fredman, Canucks lunch, Plus the one million other Podcasts. I also listen to other podcast topics, not just Hockey. And Spotify for music...
I do live 5 hours behind so that helps as most shows have played before launch. But I could not go back to listening to a radio station.

I seem to recall he came in as an intern for Taylor and McDonald and I guess they took a shine to him.

where do you get the podcasts from? Apple podcasts is very slow at updating their stuff

It wasn't me you asked, but personally I use the castbox app. It's always got the 1040 shows up asap.

 

[hellstick]

Yeah, I'm in my vehicle a lot for work and I'm always going through podcasts. Listen to the hits of a few 1040 shows and have a nice collection of hockey or Canuck related content.

 

[Canucks LB]

Jawn and rick were both Extremely respectful people.
Let’s not forget also that they gave an average Joe like me an interview here for HF Boards.
Just goes to show a lot about their character.
Rick is one of those guys who are simply just one of the good guys

He was the "local grassroots hire" out of BCIT. I think Jawn is also pretty young - early 30s. So he will prob find other work.

The ability to stream music and podcasts is killing radio.

I assume the majority of the radio audience is 40+ in age

 

[timw33]

The Larschcast is definitely garbage and that they abuse Larscheid's name to promote themselves is gross

Isn't their whole deal just positioning themselves as "anti-negs" who believe you aren't a true fan of the team unless you blindly cheer on every move good and bad?

Very likely. Most people are not listening live, probably streaming just the sections that peak their interests later on.

Expected some shake up in the SN 650 group given the layoffs to kipper and others on the main network. Don’t require 3 guys on one show. I did wonder if SN would follow TSN in cutting the number of shows from 4 to 3 from the 6 to 6 hour. Doesn’t sound like that is the direction though.

I’m currently a BCIT student and there’s been no talk about Jawn being in my program
