The sports media landscape in Vancouver is taking another hit, as Bell Media is again making cuts at its TSN Vancouver operation.

Out the door are Whitecaps play by play voice Peter Schaad and Lions caller Scott Rintoul.

Schaad had been behind the Whitecaps mic for more than a decade, and had done both radio and TV for TSN.

Rintoul was a long-time host on TSN 1040 before moving to the Lions play by play role in 2014.

Shortly after the news broke, Rintoul shared a message on Twitter, thanking “all of the great people I’ve been working with and have worked with at 1040 over the last 11.5 years.”

Several sources pointed out that while Schaad’s time as radio play caller appears to be up — negotiations between the team and the radio station appear to be at an impasse — he could still be involved with TSN’s TV broadcasts. The network renewed its MLS rights deal in the off-season and Schaad was a regular feature on TV the last few seasons.

Schaad took to twitter later on Tuesday to suggest he had positive news coming soon about his future. “There’s more to the story. I will keep you updated,” he said.

Tuesday morning, Schaad added further clarity, pointing out he’d only been relieved of his radio duties.
