Jets games
When CJOB took over NHL Jets games from TSN I was excited for it; however, so far I must say the way TSN managed their Jets programming is better. On TSN I was able to pull up pod casts of Jets programming, including games and replay at any time.
While I didn’t like all TSN programming it’s the same for CJOB. I don’t care to wade through programming I don’t care for to get to the shows I like.
I wish OB would consolidate and organize their Bomber / Jets shows, because until they do I will continue to enjoy the TSN programming that I had before.
