Tim and Sid will be joining Sportsnet radio 590 the fan and their first show will be on December 12, 2011 and it is very exciting to me because I have been waiting since Tim and Sid : uncut in early September and there were no real signs of them leaving until I looked at the headline of the final podcast which was the final episode. So it was nice that they will be back live and with Sid's younger brother already doing the 2:40 and 7 PM which means that it will be a family reunion as they will be together the final hour their Monday to Friday time slot from 1 to 4 PM which is right before the Top gun in primetime sports with Bob McCown. It will diffidently wonderful to hear them back on the air and can only hope they are allowed to do their own thing because their style is so much better than anything the Fan or TSN radio has right now.
Tim Micallef & Sid Seixeiro look to be moving away for the Score and will by the end of the year they will be on Rogers Sportsnet Fan 590 in the 1 - 4 slot before Prime time sports with Bob Macown and it is a huge blow for the Score but I guess that means they will move further away from actual live broadcast as Tim was a big part of the NBA surfering program when the NBA was around. Tim and Sid are going to be huge winners in this deal because they will be making big bucks and not your usual 1 to 4 makes they will get closer to what Brady and Lang get for doing the morning show. The biggest loser of all without a doubt will be TSN Radio because if they could have made that deal it would of made them even more of a contender because they are falling in the ratings badly and if they could have moved Brain Haines back to 9 to 12 and drop Dan Patrick off the nearest cliff and move Tim and Sid into the spot before Jamie and friends show up it would be absolutely amazing. The only thing that would of had to have happened is that Sid would of swallowed his pride hard because he hates the 3 letter with a passion but listening to Sid on Score radio for the last two years is that if TSN stepped up with more money than the fan it would of been a done deal.
So the thing is now why wait to get them on the station and that is quite simple indeed and the answer is simply that Sid has to work on the next broadcaster program on the score and Tim will be doing the University Rush programming until the Vanier Cup which is ending late November and Sid's commitments will be done before than.
I feel that Sid's brother Alex would be a great audition to shoot the talk around kind of programming that Tim and Sid are known for in their podcast form and now we also know why Sid has cut back on f bombs during the later Tim & Sid Uncuts as he was preparing himself for when he would need to completely lose that language for radio or the producers will have to monitor the show better than that other guy who was around and lost him job because of the idiot words he used.
I hope they do very well but I wish they were not on at 1 to 4 and were on evenings or mornings so selfishly I could listen to the program
