Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media" (or "Idiots" as Torts calls them)

[vic]

Reports are that Halford and Brough are going on 6 - 10, then Taylor and Moj from 10 - 2, followed by Sekeres and Price at 2 - 6

So, they essentially eliminated a full show. I might start listening again if Botchford is never again on air.

What you don’t like the fake shouting and screaming Vic ?

Botchford has small mans syndrome. Joe Thornton rightfully cut him down to size years ago. He’s been a bitter little prick since

His shouting, his constant flip flopping, lack of humility...you name it.

Even with social media nowadays and a new generation of readers, listeners, watchers - I still expect some sort of Journalistic Integrity from the media, Botchford show zero, zilch, none - I'm shocked people actually pay to read his drivel on The Athletic. I've read a few articles on it in the past, and they are great - how a douchbag like Crotchford ever got a job with them is beyond me.

It's the agenda's that get to me...and why I've argued that to keep all media types fresh they should be "traded" to other markets every few years...

Take care...

Some of them should be kept fresh by vacuum packing them in oil drums.

From SN:

Change is coming, again, to Vancouver sports radio.

More change is coming to TSN 1040 — and not all of it is good if you’re a fan of veteran morning man Dave Pratt.

Bell Media made a series of cuts Wednesday to several TSN sports radio stations across the country, and the Dave Pratt-led morning show is among them.

The TSN 1040 AM website no longer lists an archive for the morning show, which Pratt had hosted on his own since last summer, alongside a rotating roster of co-hosts, including Dave Tomlinson.

Pratt was informed Wednesday morning he had been let go. Tomlinson is also out, along with producer Curt Appleby

Beautiful stuff^^^ I can’t stand Bitchfart

They do not care about quality anymore, it is all about key clicks and revenue (as it probably always has been) but now it is about being stupid and controversial so you have people listening. For some reason so may people want to listen to someone who upsets or frustrates them.

[Zedlee]

Good riddance to Big Fat David Pratt, he really made the morning show unbearable.

I feel a little bad for Tomlinson, he was pretty good for an ex-hockey player/jobber. I think I could stand to see him replace a few people on 650 - Reach and/or Deep, John Jang or Chang or whoever. Both those shows could benefit from a guy with actual experience in sports, to balance out the fantasy sports/stats nerds.

Agree. Pratt is insufferable, arrogant and a big "know it all". States an opinion then gets irritated when someone disagrees. I loved it when Tomlinson called him on his bs. I hope to hear from Tomlinson again at some point.

Botchford isn’t going anywhere. He was on with Halford and Brough all the time. He was on with Brook Wart this morning and Karen was doing updates

That's a shame, he is Pratt-level unlistenable.

Botchford with Pratt would have been hilarious, they'd be like a couple cats in a bag.

Botchford has been on with Pratt many times. It's the worst segment of talk radio you can imagine.

Pratt is like a big stupid dog that just keeps going on with his absolutely inane opinions. Botchford is like a clearly agitated pussy kitten that is swiping his little claws at an oblivious Pratt.

Just fire them all.

[nuckster]

I appear to be an absolute minority here - I find Botchford to be insightful. I can see how he would piss off the JB 'knob-gobblers' though. Botch isnt afraid to straight shoot and he has a zany sense of humour.

(Now I've really put myself out there on my own little island)

[Mickey107]

The only thing is: Sportsnet 650am is "The company station", and sometimes it gets sickening. Not enough controversy.
That's where you go in you want to continuously smell roses.
Until you throw-up.
