FAN gets a new name

Rogers Media has announced that the all-sports radio station FAN 590 will be renamed Sportsnet Radio FAN 590. Rogers’ other sports station, Calgary’s FAN 960, will also now carry the Rogers Sportsnet tag. “We’re basically knocking down the walls between the media lines,” said Scott Moore, president of Rogers Broadcasting. Moore also said the television version of Bob McCown’s Prime Time Sports will soon be available again to Sportsnet Ontario viewers. It has been carried on Sportsnet’s other channels the past two years.
