I was listening to the play by play coverage for the first time in a while on 1290 this evening vs Canucks and mighty mighty was it bad. problem in this country is things are getting to corporate and the reason why Keilback is not doing pbp is just that. Munz was a complete amateur. But Edwards is the same. He should not be doing play by play. my gosh we might have a world class team one day it will be sad if our broadcasters are bush.
whats funny is that rick ralph who started off as annoying and couldn't control his voice has turned out to be a calm radio host. he is an avg host but good enough. trevor kidd or whoever is with him should not be allowed to speak never mind be on radio. where do they get these guys? unemployment canada for former hockey players?
other 1290 players
hustler seems to play a role for the station that fits. he isn't great not bad.
lawless knows nothing he just voices opinions and tries to make it fact but its entertaining at times. he has gotten better but is still a dork.
big show. amateur hour. nothing i refuse more than to listen to them in the morning.
illegal curve. amateur hour II. pure pain. the sound of their voices. argg
i understand not everyone can be like keilbach or irving. but can we not find anyone worthy? maybe everyone worthy choses to work in the usa if they are good. cant figure it out why there ain't anyone good that is available. i was even listening to the vancouver tsn radio and they are a bunch of fools.
where is kelly moore? get him in the pbp seat.

Wow harsh... you think that TSN pays out millions in salary to Radio staff ?
Big Show is entertaining Love the illegal curve, they have some great banter, comedy and get some awesome interviews, they also aren't homers and look at the whole league.

1290 would be wise to get rid of the late night espn garbage and put up some good sports radio like from cbs sports or mad dog radio or even kfan replay.

Yea I hate the late night ESPN College basketball/football stuff... Up early for work and during the drive I have to resort to CJOB...as lousy as CJOB is with their Jets coverage at 5:30am and it is dreadful...its better than someone from Arkansas talking about College Basketball.

I really don't enjoy the TSN1290 radio personalities (most of them), but I'm thankful for the additional Jets coverage that we wouldn't otherwise get. I usually go to tsn.ca each day and listen to the guest speaker segments. I can't deal with listening to an entire show

I enjoy, and regularly listen to the Big Show in the morning. Haven't listened to AM radio very much until I started listening to the Big Show and now my car radio is on 1290 al the time. I also like Edmonds calling the game, and have seriously discussed listening to the radio and watching the game on TV at the same time when the CBC broadcasts are happening.

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem really. They are the 11th most listened to station in Winnipeg. Eleventh! So they have no money to hire better talent. But how will they ever get better and attract more listenership without spending money.

Never understood the hatred for broadcasters. They simply tell us what's happening on the ice - goals, penalties, big plays...etc.
Personally, the only way an announcer can tick me off is if he screws up the score (not just a quick hiccup, but minutes of being mislead about the score of the game), who's on the PP - etc. I have yet to hear this happen on TSN.
Some of you will find anything to complain about - and complaining about the inflection and/or pronunciation & certain undertones of a broadcaster's simple job of telling you the score and time left in the game - that is what's bush league. Not the announcers themselves, but the people complaining that simple statistics are not being announced to them in the way they'd prefer.

I usually go to tsn.ca each day and listen to the guest speaker segments. I can't deal with listening to an entire show I agree with you. I listen from 8am to 10am then shut them down. Matt Leibl seems to know his baseball but he just hasn't the maturity to do the show. Troy Westwood has Leibl wrapped around his finger and can lead the discussions which is a bad idea. The 9-10 open phones is a joke most times because they only take a couple calls. Heaven forbid if somebody calls Westwood out because he get pretty ignorant toward the caller. However,as you say,they are all we got.

OP is a bit harsh I think. There are guys on there that I don't care for but I think in general the radio coverage of the Jets is pretty good. I am not a big fan of Paul Edmonds but I can live with him. I actually think IC is one of the better hockey shows on the radio. And while I don't like Gary Lawless much Hustler and Lawless do seem to get good guests. So I think it's overly critical and given that there are few alternatives we have to live with it.
