Sportsnet Radio

Sportsnet Radio is the branding used by three sports talk radio stations in Canada owned by Rogers Sports & Media, a division of Rogers Communications.

The Toronto and Calgary stations (which maintain their former The Fan moniker in their names) were re-branded to increase their synergy with the co-owned Sportsnet television channel, amid indications that TSN would be launching a radio network of their own (which TSN indeed did, beginning with the conversion of CHUM in Toronto to TSN Radio 1050).

[1][2] Rogers also operates the Sportsnet Radio Network (previously known as The Fan Radio Network), which is a syndication service distributing, among other programs, Toronto Blue Jays baseball and Tim and Sid.

The network formerly distributed Prime Time Sports and the daily short-form feature Grapeline with Don Cherry and Brian Williams,[3][4] both of which concluded their runs in 2019.

On April 25, 2017, after having acquired the radio rights to the Vancouver Canucks, Rogers Media announced its intent to acquire CISL in Vancouver from Newcap Radio and convert it to the third Sportsnet-branded radio station as "Sportsnet 650".
