How much longer can sports t.v./radio continue?

I have been watching a little Sportsnet and when I am doing errands once or twice a week I do listen to the FAN or TSN...although I like watching re-broadcasts, I find watching doesn't hold me in as a viewer as I know the outcome... (Spoiler alert, the Leafs didn't win the Stanley Cup)...

When listening to sports radio, speculation and talk of deals and signings is hard to fathom and be excited about when the pretty well the whole economy has tanked...

What is your feeling? 

How long do you think sports stations can exist with the current reality and it will be mighty fascinating to see the Spring ratings book.


Happy Easter/Passover everyone.

Keep well and blessed.

 


The world would be so good if it weren't for some people...

Bell Media is cutting the hours of 250 "idle" employees by 25%. This story from the Vancouver Province focuses on TSN 1040 and staff that will be affected by this. Likely applies to TSN 1050 as well?  Couldn't find any story which referred to the impact here in Ontario.
