    Sports radio is a business.. and the smart thing to do for a business is to cater towards your audience. There are frankly way more Leafs fans then Raptors fans. If that ever changes (and I don't suspect it will anytime soon), then Raptor talk will always come in after the Leafs. I'd say there are more Blue Jay fans then Raptor fans as well.. so baseball talk will get a lot of play as well (the good thing for the Raptors is that the Raptors season begins when the Blue Jays season ends).
    Completely agree. That's what I was referring to about accepting being #2. Then again, you'd think that in today's day of niche marketing, there would be some way to get Raptors radio coverage in the morning. You can get a chocolate bar in any flavour you want (one that used to only be available in plain), there are dozens of sports channels, satellite channels. There must be a way to get this done. I would even listen to ads during the broadcast. Maybe the key is to do a post game podcast that could include call ins / text ins / tweet ins. You could play that the next morning instead of having to listen to an endless debate about who should be the Leafs' seventh defenseman. I do that with the Hoops show on the fan but it's just once/week. I'm not sure if the technology exists. Let's get it done!

      I understand what you are saying but it is a self perpetuating action/result. One would think that someone (at either station) would take the current opportunity of the ascendancy of Raptor popularity and get in at the ground floor by just some what balancing the coverage. The major problem here is that the only 2 sports stations in this town each have the radio rights (tsn) and tv rights (mostly 590) sewn up and feel they have to outdo each other. Maybe an outfit like 1010 can step up and get into the game...but they have a somewhat stodgy senior audience and it would be a real business change for them.

              It seems everytime I turn TSN radio it " The voice of Leaf Nation " ... Who is the voice of Raptor nation ??? The Voice of Leaf nation is either swearing or apathy .. Why not We are the voice of " Raptors "
              Not sure of it was a one time thing but yesterday morning the tsn radio sports updates signed off with "tsn radio, voice of raptors nation".

                The positive of Raptors playing in Leaf Nation is everyone ie media attention is on the Leafs right now ... The Raptors maybe on a mini skid right now but they can fix it without the burden of hounds of media and talk shows telling them what is wrong with them .. They can adjust this on the fly and do it with thought the enviorment ( which is caused by the media at times ) of the sky is falling the sky is falling ..

                  Voice of the Raptors is a 590 saying usually.

                    They are both effing b/s ers. Convenient sloganeering....just check out how many invited daily guests/commentators each station has re the Leafs vs. those for the Raptors.....and I wont even include airtime devoted to each team by the regular on-air hosts.
                    I understand the concept of "getting ears" for advt. revenue but the constant saturation of Leaf crap (to the exclusion of stuff NBA) is over-the-top.

                      I know. I hate it.... especially Sundays. Why do they have a whole hour based off racing? Who watches Nascar anyways????? I don't know anyone who does. Not a single person.

                        This is offensive to in-bred hicks and yokels. Please be more considerate.

                          As someone who is white, grew up in a hockey crazy household and enjoys the leafs as much as the Raptors, I am not being offensive. Thank you.

                              No trailer park, but basement living, having 2 disabilities and being pansexual. So I do get you.
