The company said in a statement that the "difficult but necessary decision" followed a "thorough review of our radio stations across the country." "We are grateful to our listeners and to our team for their contributions to the local community.” In Vancouver, the move means the end of Sportsnet 650 and News 1130, while in Alberta, 660 NewsRadio Calgary and Sportsnet 960 are affected. "I think that what we're seeing now is media organizations looking for ways in which they can return to some kind of shareholder satisfaction," he said, explaining that Rogers is likely trying to converge together media platforms.
