On 1290 in the mornings, there was a show with Troy Westwood and 2 other guys. Was Richardson one of them?

He was terrible on Power as well! Like Brian Cook terrible!

“ juventus777jets: @troywestwood Will we find out reasons (Was it Amicable) or will it be kept private ” Amicable and private.
“@dragonfly1632: @troywestwood is he still the announcer at jet games?” Yes.From Troy:
Folks, this is real. Jay Richardson and TSN1290 have parted ways and Jay is pursuing other interests. Was an honour to work with Jay.

By the sounds of it, it was not a "firing" but I guess you never know. One person in the industry told me last night that if he was fired it was "karma".
Personally, I enjoyed him and thought he kept the discussions going in interesting directions. I was told though, that he is actually not a sports fan and knows very little about sports. Saying that however, I find Matt and Troy pretty good and Im sure they will get better with time also.

Westwood tweeted last night that Jay is done with 1290. Had a mutual split. He is still doing the Jets games.

Jay was fired by TSN 1290, and I have been told that by another TSN 1290 employee. I won't get into the reason, but it is twitter-based.

He got in a pissing match with the Best Sleep Centre guy last month on Twitter, wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Overall the guy was very confrontational and pompous on twitter AND on the show. The big show is a lot better now....... feels more professional. I dont miss him

Apparently thats how he was in real life too. What was the details surrounding the twitter war with Best Sleep Centre? I mean, how does one even start a twitter war with Best Sleep Centre?

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! I doubt it will have any bearing on ratings. It's not like they are changing music formats. Those who want to listen sports radio will continue to do so.
