My sibling works at TSN 1290.
He got fired. On Monday he/she is finding out why.

TSN Winnipeg web page shows the Big show hosted by Westwood and Leibl Then a new show at 10am the Mercedes Benz Hockey Power Hour hosted by Jay Richardson and Matt Leibl So it looks like he wasn't fired but moved to a different show?

This makes sense to me. Probably tough to do the morning show AND be the announcer at Jets games. Doesn't leave much time for sleep on game nights.

Wasn't the NHL power hour at 7am (part of the Big Show) and replayed at 10? Maybe that's still the case...
Seems odd though that they would update the morning show with Troy and Matt (no Jay) but not remove Jay's name from the NHL Power Hour.

My sibling works at TSN 1290. He got fired. On Monday he/she is finding out why. If this is true, and if he's off of Twitter completely, then is it possible he tweeted something that he shouldn't of? I hope Jay is still w/ TSN 1290. I enjoyed listening to him every morning.

Good. He was an idiot. Just because you work out and are into the gym, wear a backwards hat, doesn't mean you can talk sports.
He's a voice guy, commercials, jingles, etc.

When you think about it TSN, because of the loss of the national contract with the NHL (despite the agreement re Jets and TSN directly) has to effect the viability of their assests, radio included, on a national level given the loss of significant advertising revenue. Some of these personalities will be redundant and likely lose their jobs.

This is really sad to hear. I enjoyed Jay and his ability to keep things on track in the morning show. Troy on the other hand gets all wound up in his rants, and heaven forbid Jay disagrees with him on something lest Troy start with the condescending "look, JAY, ..." tirades.
This past week without Jay has been difficult to listen to. I think it was Monday or Tuesday the guys announced that Jay would be returning the following day but nothing. I'm sure many will miss him, especially TSN1290's ratings. Best of luck to him!
