The Canucks market is known for its vibrant media scene. Everywhere you look, there’s a new podcast, blog, or other such content being created by fans, professionals, or someone somewhere in between. There’s a reason the outcry was so extraordinary when Bell shut down TSN 1040 in February of 2021. People in this market love this team, and they love creating content about this team and talking about it with equally passionate fans. From Dan Russell’s Sportstalk, to Don Taylor’s Sports Page, to TEAM/TSN 1040, to The Provies/Athletties/Armies, there is a long and storied history of community-driven content dominating narratives around the Canucks.
