It\u2019s a sad day for Vancouver sports fans, as the city\u2019s last all-sports radio station has been pulled off the air.<\/p>\n

Sportsnet 650 has been shut down<\/a>, along with five other Rogers-owned radio stations in Canada, due to \u201cdeclining audience and revenue trends.\u201d<\/p>\n

It leaves Vancouver Canucks radio broadcasts in limbo.<\/p>\n

The Canucks won\u2019t be following the Vancouver Whitecaps and BC Lions, who now air their games on Corus-owned CKNW. That\u2019s because Rogers owns the exclusive broadcast rights to the Canucks<\/a> on television and radio until 2033.<\/p>\n

A Rogers Sports & Media spokesperson confirmed to Daily Hive on Tuesday that Canucks games will move to another Rogers-owned radio station in the city. Hopefully that means we\u2019ll continue hearing Brendan Batchelor and Randip Janda call games.<\/p>\n

\u201cSportsnet will move the radio production of Canucks games to another Rogers Sports & Media owned station in the market. More details to come,\u201d a Rogers spokesperson told Daily Hive.<\/p>\n

News 1130 was also shut down on Tuesday<\/a>, leaving just two Rogers-owned stations left in Vancouver: Jack 96.9 and Kiss Throwbacks (104.9 FM). That could mean that Canucks games end up on FM radio for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t yet know what will happen to Vancouver Canadians and Vancouver Giants broadcasts. Both teams aired games on Sportsnet 650 before it shut down.<\/p>\n
