Funny 1040 TSN 1040 switching from sports radio to "funny format" later this week | Offside

After letting over 200 people go in Toronto, Ontario and other places recently, Bell media continues to find ways to keep doing things cheaper...and cheaper... Funny AM radio is fully automated with nobody there, except (if lucky) a morning and afternoon local news update...done by someone who was in the building anyway, most likely getting the same pay.
 
I seriously wonder now what will happen to play-by-play content of the Lions and Whitecaps. Technically speaking, nothing is stopping them from airing this content on 1040 and 1410, but it seems unlikely that they would interrupt satellite fed content for sports coverage. The most unfortunate part about this situation is the way it was handled.
 
I would think the question is if they have a contract to run the games. A format change typically doesn't change an existing contract. If they're the market exclusive for broadcast rights, I suspect they will.
