Yeah, yeah.
I mean, just the reach of this show.
And the other thing is that you talked about chorus, and not to get too broadcast-centric, but the two stations that carry the Jets and the Oilers don't just do sports.
Right.
And that's the way to survive in AM radio now.
You have to serve a ton of different levels of listeners.
And so in these political times, this is a great time to be talking politics in Alberta, right?
And it's a similar situation in Manitoba to be talking politics.
what the NDP government is doing there.
So if you can combine politics and sports, which those two core stations have done, you're going to be fine.
Now, in Vancouver, what they're going to do is they're going to take the Canucks games and put them on a Rogers FM station, and it will actually be better for the Canucks because the sound of the game on FM radio will be that much more attractive
