Yeah, well, no names mentioned here, but I was told before, this is before 2017, that a company back east, not Bell, nothing associated with 1040, looked at the success of 1040 and looked into opening a second all-sports radio station.

This is before 650.

They looked into it and said, no, that will never, ever work.

There's one station there that's all Vancouver can handle and it's successful.

Let's leave it alone and forget it because it just won't happen.

And lo and behold, they end up opening up 650 and the rest is history and we're left with nothing.

And Blake, you were mentioning 730 and we forget about Mojo.

It was 730, right?

I believe that was the frequency, which is now NW.

But there was a time, a short period of time, not that long ago when...

Vancouver, B.C.

had three all sports radio stations, 1040, 650, 1410, which was owned by Bell and was associated with 1040, was also on the air at that time with all sports radio syndication out of the states.

And everybody, they thought it was a good idea back then.

So how do you go from three to zero in a very short period of time?

And now I'm, you know, I'm listening to, you know, Mayor Ken Sim talk about Kitsilano Pool on NW every day.

I think they'll...

kneel in front of the radios and pray that an all sports station gets resurrected in Vancouver.

I don't know.

Well, they said, did they not, did they not say that it was, look, I'm getting serious.

I got the glasses off here.
