Canadian media battle between Rogers's Fan 590 Vs Bell's TSN radio is looking more and more like David against Goliath
If you look at the personalities at Rogers Sportnets Fan 590 and TSN radio it is really no contest as for hockey insiders as Fan 590's Nick Kypreos and Doug MacLean Vs TSN radio's Pierre McGuire and Bob Mackenzie which is a no contest because most people would listen Pierre and Bob especially Bob Mackenzie. With NFL/CFL insider with Fan 590's PERRY LEFKO/Jim Lang Vs Chris Schultz where Chris is just the best NFL/CFL insider out there while in basketball the two both have Jack Armstrong as their insider. In Baseball TSN talks about what is going around Baseball and Sportsnet talks more about the Blue Jays than the rest of league which means that TSN has more Personalities than Sportsnets.
MOJO radio AM 640 the home of Toronto Maple Leafs may be going under and changing their format which will put guys like Bill Waters and Brain Hayes on the opening market and Fan 590 needs to get their hands on one or both of these guys as they have nothing to match TSN radio and it is not even up yet. Also they need to put George Stroumboulopoulos on the air as soon as possible because if they do not have George or someone big than the Fan 590 will be torched by TSN radio and Don Kollins the Fan 590 program director has completely destroyed the station when he came in and took out everybody except Bobcat and nothing has worked out yet and will have to retool again in the next month so that their ready for the hand to hand combat. With AM 640 maybe going under it also means that TSN radio will pick up Toronto Maple Leafs and will be a huge number rating wise 2 or 3 times a week as not everybody can always be watching on TV as sometimes people are still in their cars and if you put Raptors and Leafs head to head the Leafs would destroy the Raptors even if the Raptors were the better team.
