Four weeks after Bell Media pulled the plug on TSN 1040, there are inklings that something is on the horizon that will provide local sports radio fans with a choice, albeit an unconventional one.
Don Taylor has been teasing us on Twitter about something in the works with his old 1040 cohorts, appearing to hint at a return to television. Same goes for Matt Sekeres and Blake Price, who have both tweeted out that things are in the works and Price’s Twitter bio reading, “on the mic again shortly.”
Former 1040 alum, Rob Rees (advertising sales rep) and Rob Gray (program director) currently run North Beach Agency, a marketing and advertising agency located in Vancouver. The agency had a number of clients advertising on TSN 1040 and I’ve been told they could create an avenue for some of the hosts to return to a podcast or streaming format that would ultimately give those clients a home again.

Don Taylor wants to continue his broadcast career but not at the expense of someone else.
“You see these tidbits on Twitter where people say that they can just bring us all in and we’ll take over. I’m not interested in being a part of that,” Taylor said in reference to Tuesday’s abrupt shutdown of TSN 1040 that left Sportsnet 650 as the lone all-sports radio station standing in Vancouver.
