TSN Radio is a semi-national sports radio brand and part-time network in Canada carried on AM radio stations owned by Bell Media Radio.〔〔("TSN Radio a reality" )''The Globe and Mail'', January 21, 2011.〕〔("Jump to TSN ‘bittersweet’ for Mike Richards" ) ''The Globe and Mail'', January 27, 2011.〕 The TSN Radio brand, and some of the stations' content, is shared with Bell Media's television sports channel, The Sports Network. With the American sports network ESPN being a minority shareholder in TSN, most of the stations also air some ESPN Radio programming, usually on weekends and/or overnight. TSN Radio currently operates stations in Toronto (CHUM 1050), Montreal (CKGM 690), Ottawa (CFGO 1200), Hamilton (CKOC 1150), Winnipeg (CFRW 1290), Edmonton (CFRN 1260), and Vancouver (CKST 1040 and CFTE 1410). However, each station produces the vast majority of its programming locally, apart from some live event broadcasts as well as U.S.-produced syndicated programming. Unlike sports radio networks in the United States, there is no all-day 'network' feed, and very few Canadian-produced programs are simulcast nationally (though some of the Toronto station's programming is simulcast on the national TSN2 TV channel). ==Overview== It was announced on February 17, 2011, that its Toronto station CHUM (1050 AM) would discontinue its audio simulcast of CP24's television programming as "CP24 Radio 1050" and switch to an all-sports radio format as "TSN Radio 1050" effective April 13, 2011, becoming the flagship station of the network.〔("Ground shifting as broadcasters brace for sports war" ). ''Toronto Star'', January 21, 2011.〕〔(TSN RADIO 1050 Hits the Airwaves April 13 )〕 The company further announced plans on October 3, 2011, to convert its two radio stations in Winnipeg and Montreal under the TSN Radio banner (becoming ''TSN Radio 1290'' and ''TSN Radio 990'' respectively) on October 5, 2011.〔 The network in some respects represent a revival of the defunct The Team network, which formerly aired on many of the same stations in the early 2000s when they were owned by CHUM Limited; some of those stations remained "Team"-branded sports radio stations right up until joining TSN Radio. Bell Canada gained 100% control of CTVglobemedia's assets on April 1, 2011, thus renaming the company's name to Bell Media and likewise renamed the radio division, CHUM Radio to Bell Media Radio. It was reported on January 19, 2011 that Rob Gray, who was the program director for CKST and CFTE, had been hired to be program director for both CHUM and the new TSN Radio network.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TSN Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
