The issue I have with this potential decision is the fact that Sportsnet continues to treat the Prime Time Sports audience like leftovers. Prime Time Sports is cheap programming. One day it's on and the other off. For those 'viewers' watching at home who set their pvrs to watch the show (like myself!), it's frustrating to come home, flip on the recorded show, only to find alternative programming that has been recorded.
The one thing that isn't being discussed is that this "decision" is coming after an in depth discussion about Rogers last Friday where McCown challenged Rogers to put up or shut up with the Jays payroll for next year. Specifically he stated that their could be a fan revolt against Rogers if the Jays aren't competitive next year and the fanbase feels Rogers is to blame. You mean to tell me it's a coincidence that Sportsnet is choosing NOW to evaluate McCown, a mere 4-6 weeks after extending the Prime Time Sports brand to 2 hours? Us viewers ain't that stupid!
Sportsnet: why don't you fish or cut bait with Prime Time Sports and be honest with your viewers?
McCown, as always, you know you have an open invitation to speak here.

We know there was no Bob McCown on Sportsnet on Friday and Tuesday. But fans of the BobCat can rest easy. Doug MacLean won’t be filling his slot on Prime Time Sports any time soon. Contrary to rumour, Rogers Sportsnet’s bold plan to counter-program McCown’s two-hour radio klatch against TSN’s Sportscentre will continue. Internal issues apparently gave reason for pause within the Rogers’ happy family. Some staff were told the TV show portion of Prime Time was cancelled. The crisis has now passed. And, as long as McCown draws breath, MacLean will still not be on the show.
