Some amazing news over the past few weeks, with both Flames broadcasts and the legendary Mike Richards returning to QR77 and Calgary airwaves. It’s a huge step in the right direction, but there is still more work to be done.

Calgary is still missing a daily, live and interactive sports voice that goes beyond game broadcasts and gives regular coverage to the Stampeders, Roughnecks, Cavalry, Surge, Hitmen, Wranglers, university, amateur and minor sports.

Maybe that grows into a bigger daily sports presence on QR. Maybe it takes another form entirely. The platform matters less than making sure Calgary fans and local sports communities have a place to connect every day.

The progress so far is really encouraging. Let’s keep building.

Calgary deserves a live, daily, interactive sports voice.
