Weekly reminder that Rogers is too cheap to pay their Jays radio announcers to travel with the team on the road

How embarrassing does it have to be that the headline doesn’t even think it’s remarkable that you don’t compensate the radio crew enough? Like it’s absolutely shameful that the Angels are in the same category of… one other unnamed team.
Embarrassing considering its coming from a Company like Rogers. Telecommunications and Radio is their core
Disgraceful but not surprising.
I go to school with his son, just as much of a douchebag as his dad.
the audience for the radio audience is small and it doesn’t bring in much money. so i have no issue with rogers scaling back their radio broadcasting
I think some teams like the Giants use use one broadcast for tv and radio. I am not 100%
You mean the Jays and the Angels are the only two? Unbelievable! Cheapskates!
It’s absolutely pathetic that Rogers literally pays 25 people full time to cover the team but is too cheap to put up a radio crew on the road. No wonder, aside from Ben Wagner, the radio broadcast is largely unlistenable.
I’ve noticed that the Leafs’ Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph don’t, either.
Something something Covid border something ….
I am SURE the Jays owners have a perfectly cromulent reason for this. /s
jays are spending a lot on the stadium and running their highest payroll ever.
Have to imagine has to be about something other than money.
Why should they pay for them to travel? 😂 I agree with Rogers in this one
More money for potter swag
It’s a public company. If you care, buy shares. But if you did, you wouldn’t care about it being a “disgrace”, you’d realize it’s a multi million dollar waste of money to send the radio team out on the road.
Rogers stopped paying their NHL radio guys to go on the road too. Now you get quality broadcasts of announcers calling games off of a tiny screen in a boardroom. Good company.
Rogers are as greedy as any other joke of a company our politicians bow down to. This is no surprise
TIL: The radio announcers don’t travel for away games.
I’ve been exclusively listening for years to 590 through SiriusXM, and I honestly never knew.
Lol radio k gramps
Didn’t they have to buy back online audio rights from MLB? That’s how they can stream the radio feed on the sportsnet app. It’s not because of 590 radio, it’s the fact that millions of people stream now and it cost them $ to acquire the rights to it.
Maybe it’s time to listen to the other team’s announcers when they’re on the road. I don’t have cable so I listen to the games occasionally or watch the condensed mlb clips on YouTube. The ads are really bad in Sportsnet radio and they cut into the game sometimes! Rogers are you listening?
