On a side note, it was cool to see David Braley sitting in the stands with "the common folk". Don't recall if they showed a post-game reaction after that blown third-down pass, but he sure looked PISSED when the Cats tied it up!

Call 604 669-2300, ask for Dave.

Bahahahaha!

It's only common sense that if 75% of the team1040 audience tunes in for Canucks talk, that exposing them to occasional Lions talk/games might spur them to also follow the Lions (and buy tickets). If you move the Lions to another station, casual sports fans will hear less Lion coverage. Only the ga...

Nice. Personal insults from a mod.

Soundy, how can the Lions can GROW the brand with 1.0 share ? I concede that even you or I can find CFUN on the dial, (even if I can't receive it here) but you continually ignore what others are pointing out here: we want the sport to get MORE exposure, not less. How does reaching less audience gro...

And to answer the question about why some might be uneasy about the memories of 1040 and the Lions. It maybe has something to do with the fact that when both Canucks and Lions happened to be playing on the same day, it was always the Lions that got moved. Ah, but that's NOT a fact. There was even a...

Troy from White Rock has some big shoes to fill!

Didn't occur to me until afterward, there's a cenotaph at our City Hall here in Pitt Meadows... turns out they DID have a ceremony there. Wish I'd gone.

Good attempt to inject some rationality into the discussion, McLetch... how's it feel to be :bang: ? Unfortunately, I think some here won't be happy unless you dump any Canucks talk from the station entirely... and a couple would probably prefer that you had nothing BUT CFL coverage. Until you do th...

Maybe I can ask a question and answer one at the same time. As you rightly point out, sports fans aren't monochromatic, many like multiple sports. Now if you are indulging in that passion and can only listen to one station at a time, which station are you going to likely choose? 1040 or 1410? If yo...

Way to sidestep the question. I'll take that as a "no" then. No sidestep at all. 1 You believe in the Lord our God Nuckies first above all other things. Hardly. 2 I have no time for the NHL. Fine. Nobody says you have to. 3 You can't understand why people think that the Lions should come ...

It's not like this is the first time Lion broadcast rights have moved on the dial. Maybe some CFL radio historian has the chronological order. Many people thought when Team1040 picked up the rights it was a big step backwards and the Lions' radio world was hitting the backdials after about 15 years...

So like SammyGreene, you believe there are a significant number of people who become Lions fans because they just happened to be listening to the station already when the game came on? Really? You don't REALLY think I'm going to debate this with a <gack choke> hockey first dude, do ya? You will nev...
