TSN Radio 1150 - Debuts Labour Day Monday

TSN Radio 1150 in Hamilton hits the airwaves this Labour Day (Monday, September 7). The station’s all-sports programming is also available online at TSN.ca, and via the TSN GO app.

The city’s first all-sports radio station kicks off with live programming from Tim Hortons Field with Mark’s Labour Day Weekend, featuring the Hamilton Tiger-Cats taking on the Toronto Argonauts, as the long-time rivals battle for first place in the CFL’s East Division.

TSN 1150’s daily sports related programming begins Tuesday, featuring two new locally focused shows: Ticats at Noon with Jim Tatti, and Marsh & Milton, the station’s daily drive home show featuring veteran Hamilton Spectator sports columnist Steve Milton and former McMaster Marauders quarterback Marshall Ferguson.

TSN 1150 programmers promise lots of live sports talk with a focus on Hamilton’s teams, including the Ticats and McMaster Marauders, as well as the Toronto and Buffalo sports scenes.

“We are thrilled to officially launch TSN Radio 1150 in Hamilton, and there is no better day to introduce Hamiltonians to their new all-sports station than the Labour Day Classic,” said Mike Nabuurs, Program Director, TSN Radio 1150 in Hamilton. “Launching with Ticats at Noon and Marsh & Milton will allow us to connect with Hamilton sports fans on one of the city’s biggest sports days. It’s a wonderful time to be a Hamilton sports fan.”

“Am I excited to hit the airwaves and spend each day breaking down Hamilton’s pride and joy, the Ticats? Yes Guy!” said Jim Tatti, host, Ticats at Noon. “Ticats at Noon will be fans’ #1 source for news, analysis, and discussion surrounding the team.”

“I’ve been part of the local sports scene longer than I care to mention, and I’m honoured to begin a new era for sports in Hamilton with the launch of TSN 1150,” said Steve Milton, co-host, Marsh & Milton. “I look forward to discussing the key issues that matter to Hamilton sports fans and celebrating the best of this great sports city.”

In May 2015, the Bell Media Radio confirmed a new multi-year partnership with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL) that includes live broadcasts of all Tiger-Cats games as well as additional programming.

With the Labour Day launch of TSN Radio 1150 in Hamilton, TSN Radio is now available in seven major Canadian markets: Hamilton, Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Edmonton.
