Sportsnet Radio


Sportsnet Radio is the branding used by two sports talk radio stations in Canada owned by Rogers Media, a division of Rogers Communications. The stations (which maintain their former The Fan moniker in their names) were re-branded to increase their synergy with the co-owned Sportsnet television channel, amid indications that TSN would be launching a radio network of their own (which TSN indeed did, beginning with the conversion of CHUM in Toronto to TSN Radio 1050).

Rogers also operates the Sportsnet Radio Network (previously known as The Fan Radio Network), which is a syndication service distributing, among other programs, Toronto Blue Jays baseball, Prime Time Sports, and the daily short-form feature Grapeline with Don Cherry and Brian Williams.

If approved, this would make CISL the third radio station part of the Sportsnet Radio Network and the third sports radio station in the Metro Vancouver market.
