CHUM Radio to relaunch 'The TEAM' sports radio network as TSN radio?
It won't be happening so fast, but an interesting blurb today in the Globe...
Does anyone think this will work? It was tried once with the Jays as the flagship and failed, although I do think the plug was pulled pretty darn fast last time. I figure Chum/TSN would pickup a lot of ESPN content which would help. In my eyes, anything is better than the waste of 1050 Chum in Toronto at CP24 radio.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/more-sports/tsn-not-ready-for-radio/article1647643/?cmpid=rss1With the FAN taking a radical tack in tone, some feel it might be the ideal time for TSN to launch its long-rumoured radio network. Depending who you speak to, the change in tone could leave the FAN vulnerable with its traditional constituents. TSN’s sister company CHUM already has sports radio stations in Vancouver, Ottawa and Montreal. And some TSN personalities have radio clauses in their contracts - just in case. But sources indicate that TSN is two years away - minimum - from taking on the FAN in Toronto. Plus they have memories of the ill-fated TEAM network which crashed and burned back in the late ‘90s.
