I’m only one person. I have my opinions, but that isn’t to say there is any added value in my opinion vs. what your opinion is. However, I do have something to say about CKNW and the Mike Eckford Show. I’m also quite irritated that there is not any particular information on CKNW about the […]

Fix poor CKNW 980 reception with Telus Optik TV
As you may or may not be aware, the CKNW reception in downtown Vancouver is for lack of a better term, pathetic. The #1 radio station and the reception can be this bad? It’s something I as an end user and half a brain cannot quite understand. With that said there are a few options. […]
Listen to TEAM 1040 Online. Here’s why!
You may not listen to Vancouver radio via the internet. If you haven’t, but you could, then I suggest you check out the TEAM 1040 streaming player. The reason I like it so much is that there is the almighty Pause button. Think. Pause live radio? Yes! I don’t need to spell out the advantages […]
Should talk radio be interactive or do you not care?
I listen to CKNW a lot. I also have listened to Dan Russell’s Sportstalk for years and years and years. I’m not here to blast Dan but I’m here to mention my personal frustration. I’m curious to know what radio listeners in Vancouver and the province think about talk radio and interaction. There is Twitter, […]
My email to Sportstalk on CKNW 980
Have you wanted to call up a Vancouver radio station? It’s fun if you haven’t tried it. What’s not fun is not being able to make your point. Poor hosts cut you off after your initial comment and don’t allow a follow up. It’s frustrating believe me. It’s not a discussion or dialogue at that […]
Dave Pratt back on Vancouver radio. CKNW in fact!
News has broke that Dave Pratt aka David Pratt is joining the sports department on CKNW. His first shift? Catch him Monday morning at 7:10 am. He’s filling in for Neil Macrae who is on holidays. Isn’t this interesting? Personally I’ve been wondering about Dave Pratt. Perhaps it’s after listening to the new TEAM 1040 […]
More UFC talk on TEAM 1040 please!!
Okay this is my rant about the TEAM 1040 and their lack of UFC discussion. One thing is clear. Their hosts are all too old. There is no nice way to say it. There really is no other way to break it down. They don’t seem to have one host that “gets it”. Apparently the […]
New Team 1040 Afternoon Show – Entertaining for the first time today!
I’ve given it a chance. I’ve been listening to Barry MacDonald and Don Taylor since the departure of David Pratt. The TEAM 1040 hasn’t been the same since. Honestly it hasn’t. It takes much more than just sports talk to keep me interested. Well today I was impressed! There was some drama! They interviewed Canucks […]
Rick Ball from Team 1040 doing NHL games for CBC
If you’ve been listening to the Team 1040 then you know who Rick Ball is. He currently does BC Lions and Vancouver Canucks play by play. Simply said, he’s great. I find he call to be excellent and exciting. It should come as no surprise to anyone that CBC has hired him to do CBC […]
