    I love the morning show. I have to be serious all day long at work, and love the laughs Richards gives me in the morning. Personally I love the balance of sports and comedy. Richards knows his sports.

    Same crap different station.
    Richards has addressed this. He loves the CFL (all football really) but gets complaint after complaint whenever he talks CFL on his show. Sometimes you have to realize, it's the market that dictates the programming.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    The program managers generally dictate programming.
    Having said that, after decades of being told about the NFL and the wannabee factor regrettably it's like the Stockholm syndrome for the minions in the city and GTA.

    ...and you don't think the program manager isn't looking at market trends?

    How about the same market trends confirming the CFL TV numbers have a substantial market share in the GTA?

    Source please?
    However even if this is correct, then proportionality the CFL should receive at least the appropriate coverage.
    Tell me why it hasn't, as it is not even mentioned as an aside.
    Save and except game days coverage.
    For me it's the wannabe US factor here.

    Provide your source that CFL numbers have a substantial market share in the GTA. I find it really hard to believe; especially since there were a bunch of games not on TSN4 in 2015.
