British Columbia lost its sports radio. We're building what comes next. Live audio, video, and digital. Province-wide, made for the car and the screen.

The Canucks SHOULD care about local media, it is what helps them sell their product!

The tech to build a live sports radio app has been around for years. So why hasn’t this become the replacement for sports radio?
Because radio had the listeners, the hosts, the sponsors and the daily habit.
Here is what changed in BC, and why this might be the moment to try. 🧵
BC already has strong podcasts, streams and independent shows.
What it doesn't have is one place you can access at any point in the day and hear BC sports talk live.
One tap in the car.
One tap at work.
One tap at the gym.
One tap on the seawall.
This is still a theory. Talent, programming, sponsors and product all have to line up.
But 650’s closure changed the starting point.
BC may finally be the place to find out if this model can work.
Take the survey and join the conversation:

This is what it’s all about!
Many of us were raised on the sounds of @DanRussellST coming through the bedside clock radio.
Newer generations should have their own version of Dan on late night radio too.
Let’s make it happen together!
On July 7th, Rogers shut down Sportsnet 650 and left British Columbia with zero dedicated sports radio.
We're building the replacement. And this time, the fans own it.
Here's the plan 🧵
If you think BC deserves fan-owned sports radio that no corporation can take away, two things:
Take the survey and join the founding list: bcsportsnetwork.com
Retweet the first tweet. That's how we find the rest of us.
A fair question we keep hearing: who is behind this?
We’re a Vancouver-based group with experience and connections across sports, entertainment, digital media and local business.
We’re still at the very beginning, speaking with people who know the industry well to see whether this idea has a real path forward. If it does, we’ll properly introduce both the project and the people behind it.
Sports radio was never just a collection of shows.
It was a place.
The place you went when a trade broke, after a brutal loss, or when everyone in the province was arguing about the same thing. 🧵
That is what we are exploring with BC Sports Network.
One live destination for the teams, stories and debates that matter here. Something you can turn on without hunting through a dozen separate feeds.
We are still early, and there is plenty to work out.
The survey is till open. If this is something you would listen to, we would like to hear from you.

Sunday morning is usually catching up on the week's 650 podcasts. Except there aren't any this week.
Thinking about the hosts, producers, and everyone behind the scenes who made 650 what it was. Vancouver sports radio was special because of the people. That hasn't changed just because the signal went dark.
