Some significant news in the Vancouver sports world, as Sportsnet 650 has reportedly been shut down. The report was courtesy of Jonah Sigel, who posted the news on “X”. Sportsnet 650 is owned by Rogers Media, which on July 6 finalized a deal to become the sole owner of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment.
Sportsnet 650 was the latest full-time sports radio channel in Vancouver. Rogers Media purchased the station in 2017, with 650 serving as the home of the Vancouver Canucks for close to a decade. Sportsnet 650 was also the home of the Vancouver Giants and Toronto Blue Jays.
