Radio Inactive: The End of an Era for Vancouver Canucks Fans

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we discuss one of the biggest stories in Vancouver sports media in years: Rogers' decision to shut down Sportsnet 650, bringing an abrupt end to the city's last full-time sports radio station. The move is part of a broader restructuring that includes multiple station closures and significant job cuts across the company.

For Canucks fans, this is about more than just a radio station.

Sportsnet 650 became the daily soundtrack for Vancouver hockey fans. It was where breaking Canucks news was debated, prospects were analyzed, callers voiced their frustrations, and personalities built relationships with listeners over nearly a decade on the air.

We'll discuss what this means for the future of Canucks coverage, local sports media, and whether Vancouver has lost an important part of its hockey culture.
