    The more concerning news is that Marshall Ferguson will only be heard for 1 hour/day on 1150 in Hamilton. Though a Hamilton station and the home of the Ticats, you can always rely on Ferguson for great coverage of all 9 CFL teams.
    Why even have the station anymore ? Looks as though 1150 will now just simulcast 1050 programming, along with the Ticats and Bulldogs games.

    1150 is now down to 4.5 hours of local programming per day, apart from Ticats and Bulldogs game coverage. Everything else is from Toronto or the U.S. Which takes them back to about where they were when the station first became all-sports. It's a real shame, as 1150 was worth listening to in morning and afternoon drive most of the time, albeit three of the four hosts were relatively inexperienced, which led to some pretty inconsistent quality of programming. I have to assume Bell is slowly concluding that sports talk radio is not (and never will be) a ratings winner.

    Sad about 1150. They were a great source of local sports and even Argonauts talk. I don't understand why Hamilton can't maintain a stronger presence on radio. Especially with the addition of two more pro teams this year (soccer and basketball), it's important to inform and develop a following for these teams. It was refreshing to listen to a station that doesn't talk Leafs all day or Jays all summer. No corperate agendas, just guys geeking out on sports, it was great.

    I guess First up (and overdrive) didn't go over too well with the 1150 listeners. Good to see Marsh and Melo back where they belong along with a repeat from 3-6

    It's us vs the rest of the country

    That's definitely great news!

    Jeez, that is a crazy turnaround. How could they determine the new approach was a failure in the barely two weeks since this began?

    Nonetheless, good news. Both Marsh and Melo are young, inexperienced and not very polished broadcasters, and Melo in particular can be grating at times, but it will still be good to have guys who care about the CFL back on the air in this market.

    I thought the change was strange from the beginning as both guys were still on air for an hour each but separate times, so it's not like they were actually laid off. The only thing I can think of was perhaps backlash from the listeners who just don't want the exact same show they can catch just a little down the dial.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Still not as grating as Greg Brady.
