I've always hated Blake Price from day one, the guy is clearly becoming the biggest nimrod hockey media hack in the city. I guess somebody has to take over the Tony Eeyore Gallagher mantel now that Skeletor is slowly retiring, thank you

How dare he question the way Elmer and Wiwie run the team ?

That interview he had post game with Tomlinson and Shorthouse was awesome. Shorthouse had a hissy fit and cut the interview short when Price asked if they could be objective about the team. I miss Larscheid. He was a buffoon but at least he had a nutsack unlike the idiots calling the game now.

Taylor, BMac and the Moj spend there entire show talking about everything but sports and when they do it's usually the Moj going on about the "nobody cares" CFL, Taylor talking about all things 1970's Vancouver sports and the great Gene Kininski and BMac getting all teary eyed blue over someone's passing

Can they puleeeeaaase put these 3 out to the pastures. Brutal

Taylor still argues who was prettier? Marsha or Jan? Yikes!

Hey! I remember them too, but, I've moved on. About 40 years ago.

Agreed for most part but since sports has become 24/7 there is only so much they can talk about.

Mother of Fucking Christ, do any of you listen to 1040?

I was in the big smoke all week, tuned it in while on the road last Sunday.

Wow, click bait commentary.

The only click they got from me was the off dial.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

There really isn't much left on the radio.
Almost all stations are merged with large carriers and do what their told.
1040 is TSN but they have contracts with ESPN and FOX so at night and on Sundays, it'd just piped in.
There is a bit of Bill Good on 980 but not much.
Pretty much all the music stations are merged too. It sucks,

TV is even worse now. Sad for a City this size.
We really have no say in the matter, we just pay lots?

Lost now without the PC. :(

Completely disagree

the two shows prior - Sekeras and Price - Canucks lunch and even the Morning show with Pratt and whats his nuts carrying that goof Bro Jake manage to keep it interesting for the entire 4 hours on the subject of sports. Taylor is so done, he struggles to stay interested in talking sports, hence why he is talking about everything but Sports like his favourite Seinfeld episodes and 70's era sitcoms. BMac has issues, and the Moj can only talk about his Ukranian Diet and the CFL, the 3 of them are fucking awful and need to be shown the door big time. Can't fucking stand it.

It's horrendous on TEAM 1040. The morning show is pathetic and so is the afternoon show. Sekeres and Price are the best of a bad lot. The content is garbage as well. Very little range and mostly Canucks talk and the bush league CFL football and beer league MLS.

Thank Christ for 1410. Lots of good programs that don't talk all things Vancouver. Jim Rome, Dan Patrick , JT the Brick and Rich Eisen.

Don Taylor really needs to retire, find a new career. He's just phoning it in collecting a paycheque. There is only so much "All Things 1970's" I can handle out of him. Talk about stuck in an era, I'd love to see his record collection. Peter Frampton, Bob Seger, The Carpenters, David and Shaun Cassidy, Tony Orlando and Dawn

Seems to be gone now but Rome had a TV show that aired late at night on one of the movie channels I got.
Now that was good.

Did TSN1040 just lose the rights to broadcast Canucks games?

Maybe it's just a comment about 'this' season. ;)

Wow. The Canucks drive radio. I have 1040 on because they carry the games. I learned to enjoy Tom Mayenecht et al but the Canucks are the reason. Now I will be on KISS radio or wherever. Interesting industry. Hard on the radio jocks and staff, I assume.

Wondering about causes. Puget Sound Radio has nothing yet,but maybe our long off season can be partially livened up with this topic.
