I saw some discussion in the Nylander thread about Ferraro and O'Neil, and it made me think to post this as a possible point of interest.
I was always a loyal listener of The Fan for as long as I can remember. I was around when 1430 CJCL went to the all sports format and I remember the day that they switched down the dial to 590 - a great day for someone outside Toronto. Anyway, I always believed that Bob McCowan was the best interviewer in the business and that is why PTS always had my attention on my drive home.
But this past summer I started to listen to TSN 1050 a lot more and it has now taken over. I like the Landsberg and Colaiacovo team and I really like Hayes, Noodles and the O dog. I used to think calling them by nick names was a bit silly and that PTS was the more serious sports show, but that is no longer the case.
The Monday after Willie signed Dubas was doing the rounds and I listened to him on TSN Overdrive and on The Fan PTS and the interview on TSN was much much better. In fact, McCowan really showed how little he seems to follow the Leafs as he did that interview.
Anyway, I was wondering, in a sort of informal way, who people here prefer to listen to. As I said, after 25 years with The Fan, I have fully switched over to TSN..... though I have to say that their signal strength is brutal north of Toronto.
p.s. Ray Ferraro is also by far my favourite hockey analyst right now, so I like having him on TSN radio every day just after 5 PM as well.
