The Mike Richards morning show has been picking up steam recently getting the younger audience listening to them meaning pre-teens and young teens and Mike has been hinting about going to tv which means that after the 2012 NHL playoffs are over it is be set to take over for hockey 2 nite all morning. This could happen in June/July or they may wait even longer and go to air after Labor Day as that is when things get back to normal after the summer of none activity and the getting ready for TV is why they moved their operation outside of Toronto to a much more TV friendly building and it is about time because they need to take themselves more seriously and it would also begin a different audience to the Mike Richards show as he has been very popular in Calgary and they may tune in to watch.
When TSN 2 starts airing TSN radio programming they may also bring their most popular radio program which is Cybulski & Company to TV and it would even more competitive battle against the Bobcat show which is on Sportsnet one.
The reality is that TSN radio has made Toronto sports radio muck better as it has made it necessary for Sportsnet Radio to pull up their socks and completely rebrand themselves and bring a totally different lineup to their radio station that has been surprisingly much better then anyone would of expected.
If TSN radio wanted to get even more of a competitor for Sportsnet Radio they would be advised that they need to get ESPN off the station and put Matt Cauz into the overnight slot and would be a great challenge for Stormin'" Norman Rumack. It would be a great change for Matt Cauz as right now he is Richards side-kick and is much more sports smart guy then Richards is and makes him look foolish so he is being wasted in the morning show spot and getting his own show will better the radio station.
It is nice having two sports radio stations in T.O.
