Nothing worse than tuning into Team 1040 and hearing some guy talk about US College Basketball and Football or other major sports from a US perspective.

If it's free to run jays, hockey talk, Tim & Sid etc in Vancouver, they'll do it, whether it "works" depends solely on whether local programming (ie morning show) breaks even.

If they have to start looking around for cheap or free programming regardless of whether it fits in the marketplace then they have to seriously question the viability of the format.

Remember, as a CHILLIWACK station first, the focus would have to be on that market then out. i believe they have had their hand slapped in the past and the commission would likely come down on them again.
Also, isn't "news talk/sports talk" on FM still a specialty and require application to make a change?
