How Many Leaf Playoff Games Will End Up On CityNews 680?
I haven't been able to find the radio sked yet, but since The Fan is obligated to take every Blue Jays game - most of which happen in the evening - the question remains: where do the Leaf playoff games go? I'm not sure if TSN1050 gets the right to some of them, but there will eventually be an overlap when both teams are playing on the same night and Rogers Radio has the rights.
Which means 680 could be the go-to alternate, since they've used it before for both the Raptors and the Buds.
It's going to be a disruptive time for the station, which continues the all-news wheel online, although I'm pretty sure not a lot are listening there.
What's interesting is that there are all kinds of articles online about where to watch the Leafs on TV. As far as I can tell, there's almost nothing about where they'll appear on radio. Which tells you something about why radio may be the Rodney Dangerfield of hockey - it apparently doesn't get any respect.

Leafs play tonight, Thursday, Sat[22nd], Mon [24th], Thurs[27th]. Sat[29th], Mon[May1st] Only potential Jays conflicts are April 24 and May 1st. From what I have read from the various talking heads, Leafs should win the series in six games. However, many also believe that if the Leafs don't advance after six games, they will lose game seven.

I was actually expecting that Tampa has the cup again this year, but hey? If Leafs want to surprise us all and prove me wrong...please do feel more than free to do so!
*sorry, I meant again, since 2021. Avalanche had it in 2022.

Tuesday's opening game is on TSN1050. It's not on their schedule for Thursday or Saturday, so I'm assuming both of those are going to Rogers.
The Saturday Jays game is at 1:05 PM., so it's safe to think 680 will take the Thursday contest while the Fan will have the weekend one.
Talk about needing a scorecard!

Here in K/W some of the Blue Jays radio broadcasts have been pre-empted with Kitchener Rangers playoff hockey. Tonight the Rangers Play London so the Blue Jays game won't be on until the hockey is complete. We may get the final few innings of the Jays game from Houston. Sportsnet 590 would be where to find the Jays game tonight. 680 normally has a listenable signal. Rogers TV does an excellent job of the OHL TV coverage on their community channels here, Guelph and in London. I am sure they will pick up some cable subscribers just for these games. Excellent hockey!
