I guess that's a big coup for this small station. They do already have some play-by-play sports content - The Mississauga Steelheads games and the Raptors 905. But this will be their first, true major league affiliation. 

I did think it was a bit of stretch though, when Richards told the audience that Mississauga and points west was the "border" between where the Argos and the Ti-Cats fans are. Still, good for Sauga 960. I suppose it means if the Cats ever get to the final, Sauga 960 could conceivably be broadcasting the Grey Cup. 

Eventually that labour dispute will be settled and then things will get back to normal. I would be surprised if they lose the entire season - neither side can afford that. 

I'm not sure who carries the Ti-Cats on radio these days. Is it still 1150, even though they're no longer TSN? Or is it CHML, their longtime home? If it's the latter, Sauga 960's rights acquirement won't mean much - 1150's signal is stronger than its Mississauga counterpart!

If it's 'ML, then the deal makes more sense. It's never come in well in Toronto, being aimed the other way. I've always been amazed how a full powered station just a stone's throw from here has such a terrible signal into this city. It comes in great in New York City at night, but in the GTA right next door, you can barely hear it.

Really? THIS was the big secret announcement? The cat was already out of the bag, this was on the ti-cats website two weeks ago: https://ticats.ca/article/ticats-audio-network-announces-2022-broadcast-lineup

But on a positive note, I was listening leading up to the 'announcement'. Richards was talking about the Jays, and it was a refreshing change to hear sports talk that wasn't just two hosts reading off a stat sheet, there was some actual substance to the discussion. Good job Richards, I'll definitely be tuning in again.
