@MarkJCarney Most of us love our American neighbors. Regardless of dispute, we are in more ways than not the same people.
God bless those who lost their lives, and those who helped. Onwards and upwards.
@mvbenter@VancouverSun Yes, fully agree that the recent acquisitions likely drove this decision.. but similar to Bell and 1040 they bought the asset relatively recently (2017 I believe?), did a poor job of managing it, and then shuttered. Could have done this differently but chose not to. Shameful.
@mvbenter@VancouverSun Yes, there are typically lower or negative value assets in most acquisitions. But this does not mean they have to shut the doors. They did because a) they were not as profitable and b) because it provides more control of the market (less competition).Not great for local markets.
@SatiarShah Sat - absolutely no need to apologize. In fact, that is what you deserve. Like many, I'm particular about sports talk and you are a gem. Will follow wherever you go with sincere hope that your Canucks coverage continues. Head high, onwards, upwards, and wishing you the best.🍻
@mvbenter@VancouverSun The point being missed is that once again the oligopolistic nature of Canada resulted in this. Rogers did not have to buy these stations. They bought, consolidated, and killed local radio stations across the country.
@MikeHalford604@ThomasDrance Mike - you and Brough are the best. So sorry to hear that news and am sure whatever you choose to do will be awesome. I don't live in Van anymore but listened on the daily and will do wherever you land on the next project. Rogers are idiots and you deserve better. All the best.🍻
@SadClubCommish You and Mike are the cream of the crop in Vancouver sports talk. Was gutted to hear the news and rooting for you both. Onwards and upwards. You guys are too good for Rogers anyways.
@TheStanchion Fully agree, Sports Page also gave back/engaged meaningfully with the local community. I still remember @DonTaylor5 and crew visiting our high school (STM) to talk broadcasting, sports, and more. It inspired us. Halford was in that class.
We need more grassroots. Not Rogers.
@onesoccer I don't get the Davies hate. It was not his decision to not play. I am proud of the team and how far they got but have more questions about Marsch TBH.
