Andrew Krystal out as the morning host of Sportsnet Fan 590 but still an employee

Andrew Krystal came from down east (maritime) and came to Toronto and the Fan 590 and he hung up on callers and basically ignored the callers opinions and thought that his option is the only right opinion and when he had insiders (people with a lot of knowledge on a certain sport) on he would not let them get their point across. The Fan 590 brass decided that Tuesday or Wednesday it was time to replace him on the morning show as they felt he would get killed by Mike Richards when he starts in April. This is awkward timing because one of his last segments on the radio he ran audio clips of Jeff Blair (the guy who was after him) who thinks that the UFC is just guys rolling around in bicycle shorts on mats and Krystal interrupted it as Blair thinking that the UFC is homo erotic and got him to say Gay porn wold be cheaper.

The guy who may replace him for in the near future is Gord Stellick and would be a good choice because he is very knowledgeable about sports and does not take himself to seriously and he may not be able to handle Richards right off the bat but he has a following and if they find him a witty co-host they may have a great following and nobody will match Richards in the morning as Bobcat is not getting up that early to do it. Richards is going to be on fire when he hits the airwaives as I bet as non sport fans will tune in at the beginning to see what the fuss is and then the numbers will level off and that level will be what the Fan 590 will be trying to get close to.

Also because Krystal is buddy buddy with bobcat Krystal has not been fired he has been moved to mop up duty so now Roger Lajoie now has to watch his back as he has been the mop up guy for years for the fan 590 and Krystal will only be released if Bobcat head to the team 1050 when his contract is up.
