Vancouver deserves sports radio as it is one of the most passionate hockey markets in the entire world. Rogers canceling Sportsnet650 demonstrates an extreme amount of greed and a lack of respect for the BC hockey community, including the valued reporters and staff who make a living from this sport.

Sportsnet650 provides an essential platform for discussing and celebrating our local teams, sharing the highs and lows of each season, and connecting fans across the region. For many, it is not just about entertainment; it is a significant part of our culture and community. Furthermore, local sports media serves as a vital link to the local sports scene, providing news, insights, and a sense of camaraderie among fans.

Rogers is a company that has grown and thrived thanks to the support of Canadian consumers. It is only fair that they continue to support the communities that have been loyal to them. By canceling Sportsnet650, Rogers is choosing profit over local culture, ignoring the voices of the dedicated fans and professionals who depend on this station.

Let's not allow a corporate decision to erase the voices of our local sports community. We need to remind Rogers of the importance of supporting local media, especially in a passionate hockey city like Vancouver.

Please sign this petition to urge Rogers to reconsider their decision and save Sportsnet650. Keeping this vital platform alive ensures we preserve the spirit of our vibrant local sports culture.
