“BNN Bloomberg Radio also delivers voice-activated business news updates via the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa on phones as well as smart speakers such as Google Home and Amazon Echo Spot.”

The station will continue to use call letters CFTE and like TSN 1040 will continue to be available on an HD radio secondary feed at 103.5 FM as well as their current AM frequency.

TSN 1410 has been airing network programming featuring big American sports radio names like Jim Rome, Dan Patrick, Rich Eisen, JT the Brick and Golic and Wingo, as well as live sports, like the NBA and NFL and occasionally local games featuring the Giants, Lions and Whitecaps. Some of those live games will now feature on TSN 1040, Bell Media says.

“As of launch day, the station will not feature local content, however we are exploring adding a locally focused business news show to the schedule in the future,” Bell Media spokesman Matthew Garrow told Postmedia on Wednesday.

Several of the big-name shows that were on 1410 will make the switch to 1040, he added: Golic and Wingo will air from 3 to 5:30 a.m.; Jim Rome will air in a time slot beginning at midnight, while Dan Patrick will air weeknights beginning at 7 p.m.

Bellingham sports radio station KPUG (1170 AM, 97.9 FM) can be heard in parts of the Lower Mainland and airs the Jim Rome show from 9 a.m. to noon and the Dan Patrick show from 6 to 9 a.m.

The iHeart Radio Canada app has a Fox Sports Radio feed and the Patrick show is also available there. Both Rich Eisen and JT the Brick will only be available there or through Fox Sports Radio’s website.
