Check out David Keam's posts on Twitter from November 9. Lots of back and forth there.
I found Richardson a little condescending at times. Hopefully Troy, Matt and Brandon can develop some chemistry.

There's a fine line between being honest and critical of the team you're covering and blatant negativity just for the sake of it... or to be "that guy" for ratings/attention. Have a look at Mr. Wazny's twitter feed and you tell me which side of the fence he falls on in that regard.
Sounds like I'm being critical, I guess I am, but every hero needs his foil, so to speak. He provides the opposite viewpoint and feeds the negative crowd.

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? Someone asked Richardson something and he said David Keam sucks without naming him, Keam jumped in about not wanting to advertise on such a low-rated station. They went back and forth on ratings a bit and both came off as tools.

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. Arent their ratings in the toilet anyway?

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. You can't drop this bomb without some meaty deets!!!!

Well the Best Sleep Centre twitter war would get him into hot water, but Im not sure it would get him fired. Suspended? Maybe. Then he quit? Perhaps. Similar thing happened to me many years ago when a local station would bad mouth us on the air while the sales person was selling us ad time...on that very time slot. I didnt let that go on very long.

I find it comical that twitter could have been his undoing. He always called out 20-year old athletes for being stupid on twitter. Isn't he in his late 30's early 40's?

Old thread, but anyone listen to the 1290 Big Show these days and like it? I've been trying to listen to JT in the morning, really gave him chance but he's terrible. Westwood and Rewucki are OK and I liked Leibl but since he's not coming back I wouldn't mind if they brought back JR. Seems like slim pickins of talent in the Winnipeg sports radio scene. Other than that, it's back to rock radio.

^I would like to see JR back. The show has never been the same since he left.
