Tsn 1150

[Neely2005]

TSN 1150 is live now, so far a lot more CFL talk than TSN 1050 has.

[Will]

It ought to as I think the Ticats had a whole lot to do with it getting launched.

They ran Mike and Mike (ESPN) during morning drive today and were touting Dan Patrick (ESPN) for mid-morning so the amount of local coverage may be light. Having Steve Milton on 4-7 is an excellent move and I'd like to listen to Ticats lunch but won't be able to very often.

[Will]

They'll want to put a lot of Ticat coverage on the station for obvious reasons. Other then a local morning show and afternoon drive, I don't see why they can't also simulcast some of TSN 1050's shows if they aren't going to generate their own content. I figure that many Hamiltonians (aside from the Argos) cheer for the other Toronto sports teams.

But as of now at least they don't even have a local morning show. I can't imagine many Hamiltonians want to listen to Mike and Mike bang on about U.S. college football.

Just wanted to mention that TSN 1150 has had a local morning show for a few weeks now.

I've been really impressed with TSN 1150 the past couple of months. Lots of CFL talk every single day. Marshall Ferguson does a great job covering all things CFL and gives the league the coverage and attention that it deserves.

Agree. I hope there is a silent majority out there in southern ontario that wants to have more balance to their sports talk rather than the same regurgitated stories over and over.

Well the other GTA sports radio stations certainly aren't doing a good job covering the Argonauts and the CFL.

[Will]

It would be nice if 1050 could cover the CFL more often, however, Mike Richards did tell someone on here (and Richards is a friend of the league) that every time he attempted to talk CFL he would always have people complaining that he was talking CFL. I do find it unfortunate that Argo fans do have to turn to the voice of the Tiger-Cats for coverage of the league however. This is not a knock on Marshall Ferguson who does a fine job.

[Will]

I do not suspect that they do. The morning show and PM drive would give people their fill of content about the Tiger-Cats while simulcasting with TSN 1050 gives people content for the other teams.

[R.J]

Originally TSN 1050 had Mike Richards in the morning, the dan patrick show, Bryan Hayes, Cybulski & Co. then Espn Radio or Game Night until 11 then espn. Maybe 1150 needs more time to find the right mix, although I hope to god that 1150 doesn't turn into 1050 lite.

IMO starting an all-sports format and not having local in both drive slots is a recipe for almost instant failure. Curious fans who tune in on their way to work and hear a whole lot of talk about Virginia Tech and and who's gonna rule the SEC will tune elsewhere, and many of them will never return. They should have had someone with local profile like Bob Bratina or Matt Hayes on 6-10 to go along with Milton (and the lesser-known Ferguson) 4-7. Fill with syndication in between, other than Ticats lunch, and then simulcast with TSN1050 in the evenings for Leafs, Jays and Raptors talk and you might have a fighting chance of ratings success. Right now they have little chance of success, IMO.

Listening to TiCat lunch, just had Sandy Annunziata on and Glen Suitor. Should be worth a listen during football season.

Alternated between 1050 and 1150 during various drives 4-7 ..... Marsh and Milton were okay .... Much more CFL and other sports rather than just the Jays. ..... But that probably shows my bias for ...... anything but baseball please .

Just before 4 it sounded like a repeat of the leafs lunch

I listened in my car on the way home, and liked Marsh and Milton. Only issue, and perhaps it's because I listened through the TSN GO app on my phone because am radio reception SUCKS, the volume when their guests were speaking was considerably lower than when they were speaking. Of course, I decided to tune out when Onrait and the tool were on. Never got their popularity.

I never understood their popularity either but I am guessing that you have to be a teen or in your early 20s to "get" them (as you have to be to "get" Cabbie).

O'Toole and Onrait I get................... to an extent. Cabbie still being involved in Sports media is mind boggling, that dude creeps me out.

I have noticed that a couple of the players that Cabbie has interviewed for the Thursday night telecasts look a bit uncomfortable with him invading their personal space. I noticed this with Rakeem Cato as well as a Ticats player whom I can't seem to remember now.

I tolerated Cabbie to some extent, but this Coors Light thing is way over the top for me

i thought 1150's post game was quite good, it ran til midnight, they took lots of calls and put quite a bit of focus on the Argos too.
