Media (AKA Idiots) Rebooted

We've got random posts popping up about the demise of Sportsnet 650.

Seems they're likely done - shut down (coincidentally?) after Rogers completed their buying of the leaves....

Yeah, they shut down 960 in Calgary also. Fucking Rogers....

Also, for me, who didn't really like or hate the TML, I am now firmly in the "I hate all things Toronto" camp. I hope they never win a cup.

I can understand shutting down AM radio - does anyone still listen? But they could have waited until an alternative was in place.

I listen(ed) to SN650 via streaming to a number of games each year. I would hope that something similar is available when the season starts.

I'm guessing there's still a lot of people who listened to the sports talk during their commutes who will miss this.

Yup. Looks like it's back to driving to tunes.
