- | '''Sportsnet Radio''' is the branding used by two [[sports talk]] radio stations in Canada owned by [[Rogers Radio]]. The stations (which maintain their former "The Fan" moniker in their names) were re-branded to increase their synergy with the co-owned [[Sportsnet]] television channel, amid indications that [[The Sports Network|TSN]] would be launching a [[TSN Radio|radio network]] of their own (which TSN indeed did, converting [[CHUM (AM)|CHUM]] in Toronto to TSN Radio 1050).<ref name="gm-snradio">{{cite web|author=Dowbiggin|title=Change is the operative word in sports radio|url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/bruce-dowbiggin/change-is-the-operative-word-in-sports-radio/article1867040/?cmpid=rss1|publisher=The Globe and Mail|accessdate=13 January 2011}}</ref><ref name=sn-world>{{cite web|last=Krashinsky|first=Susan|title=Rogers builds Sportsnet brand with soccer station|url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/rogers-builds-sportsnet-brand-with-soccer-station/article2110590/|publisher=The Globe and Mail|accessdate=27 July 2011}}</ref> | ||
