Lions in the local media (REVIVED thread 6-10-20)

[B.C.FAN]

Great report, SammyGreene. It is sad to see that the team gets almost no media attention when fans have so many questions that deserve answers.

CFJC is great.

Kind of an old topic but since Radio 1040 featured in this thread somewhat prominently, I thought to mention that both 1040 and 1410 are being axed by Bell.

Bell axed 3 of their "Funny" brand stations 1040 in Van, 1060 in Calgary and 1290 in Winnipeg. I think 1060 and 1290 were formerly TSN sports stations.

More importantly from a sports perspective the are also axing TSN1260 in Edmonton leaving them with only TSN690 (Montreal), TSN1200 (Ottawa) and TSN1050 (Toronto).

Too bad. I tended to listen to Funny 1040 more than I did Canucks 1040.

In this age of blandness and wokeism, I found the stand-up incredibly progressive and risqué for AM radio, which was refreshing.

I never listened to it since the format change but usually only could pick up 1040 when driving down in the lower mainland or over on the island. I have Sat radio so when in the mood go to one of the comedy offerings there, usually Jeff & Larry's Comedy Roundup.
