TSN Radio coming to Winnipeg & Montreal

Postby Dan Sys » Mon Oct 03, 2011 2:53 pm

Sports Radio 1290 (CFRW) Winnipeg and Team 990 (CKGM) Montreal will both be rebranded to TSN Radio this Wednesday. No mention if the "Team" stations in Vancouver and Ottawa will also be rebranded at some point in the future:

I'd sure bet on that.....its an obvious TSN Radio One for 1040 and TSN Radio Two for 1410.

Maybe I'm reading too much into the lonely looking one sentence paragraph located near the end of the press release, but it sure sounds to me like there are no plans to re-brand Vancouver or Ottawa:
All TSN Radio stations will work closely with Bell Media’s market-leading all-sports radio stations in Vancouver and Ottawa.

But, then again, that was as of October 3rd. Two whole days ago. Who knows what "they" are thinking now.

"market-leading?"
Nowhere near it last time I looked.

Mike, its a play on words.....market-leading all-sports stations....probably suggesting Bell Media's stations are leading all other sports stations. Drrr.....are there any other all-sports stations not owned by Bell Media? Don't know about that.

As far as I know, there is no all-sports radio competition in Ottawa or Vancouver.
It's all Bell owned.
It's just more BS marketing speak.
