    Default Fan 960 staff turnover 2022

    Rhett, Boomer and Pinder all left this year. What's going on? Is this part of the larger Rogers corporate shakeup or unrelated? People still listen to sports radio right?

    Just two weeks after Dean “Boomer” Molberg announced he was leaving the station, co-host Ryan Pinder also departed Calgary’s only full-time sports station in an announcement made on-air Thursday.

    He is stepping away from the station for personal reasons.

    Pay is absolute shit. I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did.

    I also asked myself the same question. WTF is going on there?

    I do listen on the way to and from work and I did enjoy their bracket challenges during covid.

    And before you say Ok boomer. The radio was all that was avail in the truck when I was doing some site work in a remote location.

    The original Boomer, Rhett and Pinder spot in the AM was actually a highly entertaining show. Rumour is they may be spinning off for their own podcast which would be amazing.

    Edit: LOL at all the non sports watching poster not knowing who was on Calgary sports radio station.

    Spitting chicklets seems like exactly what I'd like, but somehow I just don't get into it.

    I actually caught the last sign off for Pinder.
    He was leaving for personal reasons.
    Reason: Had twins a couple years ago. Wife diagnosed with Colon cancer. Under went cancer treatment but he is taking the time to spend more with his family and wife. Hopefully she's ok and recovering.

    Pinder's wife's instagram.

    I believe Rogers has been lowballing all their radio station employees. Warrener doesn't need to do the show for peanuts and Boomer clearly figured he could do something else and make more money. As for Pinder given the salary cuts it was kind of a no-brainer to just stay home and take care of his family.

    Not sure how I missed that about Pinders wife. I do listen to the majority of the shows. Makes sense particularly if there's been pay cuts.

    Anyone know what a radio host makes? That's so far outside anything I've ever looked at it's hard to even guess.

    I still miss Jason Deforest as the producer.

    Well I'm sure a bunch if them will pop up somewhere, probably podcasts. Post here if you hear about it. I don't use Instagram or twitter or whatever else people use to make announcements like that.

    I’m trying to think how you would define paying an AM radio host a lowball.

    Did they offer less than minimum wage or something?
