It is my understanding that Rogers holds exclusive broadcast rights to #Flames games across all platforms.
So, because these losers in Toronto don't think it's worth it; Calgary no longer has access to the cultural staple of a radio NHL broadcast.
The death of truly local sports coverage has been accelerated and cold corporate greed rises again. Video killed the radio star. My gratitude to @Fan960Steinberg@Fan960Wills@Mikkelson12 and all the great Sportsnet 960 personalities on the mics and behind the scenes that made radio sports broadcasting in Calgary such a staple to so many for so long.

There are no words to properly describe what has happened today to the people @FAN960 or 660 news. Devastated for all my former colleagues and friends. Just awful. I am thinking of all of you and so grateful to have worked with so many amazing talented people
@Sportsnet960@Fan960Steinberg@Fan960Logan I am so sorry that Roger’s pulled the plug on you and your team. My thoughts are with each of you on this terrible day for good people and Calgary’s sports scene.
Sportsnet 960 was the last radio I really listened to and had been a staple in my diet since the Team 960. Terrible day for sports fans in Calgary and thoughts are with all the beauties that ran the station.
@Trevor_Neufeld WTF!?!?? “Rogers will continue broadcasting Vancouver Canucks games on one of its radio properties in that city but will no longer produce Calgary Flames broadcasts for radio.”
This is devastating. The people of Calgary LOVE the Fan 960.
I’m asking that everyone on here pull together on this one and let our voices be heard that this is unacceptable.
