Former Fan 590/Sportsnet Broadcaster Now On CKNT
Another former Toronto radio name is back on the air on the Mississauga newcomer.
Barry Davis is a self-described baseball expert, who worked on The Fan 590 and Sportsnet for several years, before starting his own podcast called "Outta The Park." That show, perhaps still from the original podcast, is now airing on CKNT, with another title "The Spin."
The schedule on its slightly revamped website says it's on from 7-8 PM weekdays, although it also calls it a "weekend program" in its profile pages.

I really hope someone is keeping an eye on the financials over there. It seems they are bringing on talent that won't come cheap. As Roundhouse in Vancouver, they may find themselves over their heads. The station's reach is limited, the focus is smaller than most stations in the GTHA doing a similar format, and doesn't have a huge company deep pockets. I'm a strong believer in spending money to make money, but within reason.

Barry IS the best. He IS a baseball expert...at least a Blue Jays baseball expert. Barry's a world-class, passionate broadcaster and one heckuva good guy. Go Barry.

Speaking of podcast, Richards has a podcast for CKNT, or rather, the show recording from the morning gets released as a podcast later that day.It's on iTunes/Google Play/TuneIn/etc.
I'm curious why the other shows don't do the same. The production quality on the morning show is lot different (better) than the rest of the shows.
