The Fan 590 has decided to go a morning show tag team of Greg Brady and Jim Lang and will be continuing the role from 5:30-9AM that they have been doing for a few weeks and in a month they will be introduced to their maker known as Mike Richards and most likely going to be buried alive very quickly after he starts. I do not understand the decision to put these two up against Richards as it will be a complete no contest and really I can not believe they did not go after a bigger name like George but did not try hard enough to get one as they needed to make a huge splash in the market as the Fan is completely stale. It would not surprise me when the tag team experiment does not work that they drop the money and get the name to take listeners away from Richards which could be a good plan because maybe nobody will take him off the hop and later it maybe easier to take him down.
Greg Brady staying on the morning show has made it necessary to move to have Daren Millard joining the hockey central @ noon join Nick Kypreos and Doug MacLean again because he used to do this hour on the Fan along with Rogers Sportsnet TV before Greg Brady joined the Fan and took his spot away from him. This is going to be the team that will be taken on Steve Kouleas and his crew @ noon on TSN Radio when it goes live on April 13Th and his crew could be very very strong with a couple of huge insiders with Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger could be used to strength the program.
Andrew Krystal has quietly been put into the 1 to 3 PM slot which is just before his buddy Bob McCown's Prime Time Sports program and will be there for a while especially if he does not screw up again as his talk about UFC being Gay was a douse and he has probably learned his lession. Also he will not make fun of the program after his because it is way stronger than the Jeff Blair show and he is much better fans with Bob McCown than with Jeff Blair as McCown is the one who hired him and the one that made sure he was not fired.
So in the end TSN Radio will make their money in the morning and the Fan will make their money on the drive home show until Michael does the drive home on TSN Radio and a bigger name morning show host for the fan 590 they are both no contests. The winner will be the one that gets the stronger ratings throughout the day and will see what TSN comes up with around Mike Richards and Steve Kouleas because everything except Bobcat is weak on the Fan 590 and their triple threat of TV, Radio, and Internet is weak to because TSN has all 3 too.
Fan 590 is in for rude awakening
