What American sports teams are carried on Canadian radio?

[the golden boy]

A while back, a Windsor radio station was carrying University of Michigan football games (if they aren't doing it still). What other American teams have affiliates in Canada? I'd think that teams like the Seattle Seahawks would have a station in Vancouver or Detroit and Buffalo teams having Canadian affiliates too.

TEAM 1410 (CFTE) Vancouver carries the Seattle Seahawks.

CJCL (FAN 590) in Toronto is on the Bills network, and the Lions network includes CJBK 1290 in London, Ontario. CJBK also carries the Red Wings; there are no Pistons or Tigers affiliates in Canada at the moment.

I thought CHOK in Sarnia had one or more of the Detroit teams.  Perhaps the operative word there is "had"...past tense.

What I used to find interesting was that a few Canadian stations carried Paul Harvey news....which always began with a taped "Hello Canadians".  CFCO comes to mind as one of these.   The Harvey affiliates also carried "The Rest of the Story", which would logically would seem to be a better fit north of the border.

A reversal to the topic should also be mentioned. Some Vancouver Canuck games are carried on KRKO 1380 Everett,WA which serves the Seattle area.

The station is the one-and-only CKLW/800, that 50 kW powerhouse that booms all over Southeast Michigan and into Ohio.  It has been the "co-flagship" for the U of M football broadcasts along with CBS Radio classic hits WOMC/104.3 Detroit.

I don't know how long the contract runs...they started doing it in 2006, and I believe they at least have done it through the past year.

...and isn't there an AM station in the Buffalo NY area carrying the Toronto Blue Jay games?

WSPQ 1330 in Springville, south of Buffalo, used to carry some Jays games. It's not on the current station roster, and it was never a Buffalo signal anyway. You can hear the Jays' flagship, CJCL 590, as well as the Hamilton affiliate, CHAM 820, better in most of Buffalo than WSPQ. We lost reliable Jays radio here in Rochester when the team moved from CHML to CHAM a couple of seasons ago; CHML puts a good signal into Rochester day and night, but CHAM is iffy at best. 590 comes in better here now than it used to, which suggests to me that something may not be quite right at their transmitter site - as is true for many Canadian directional AMs.

Speaking of Hamilton and "something not right", CKOC comes in better here in Northern Illinois than one might expect. Radio Locator suggests that very little nighttime juice should be coming this way.  This has been going on for quite a while. But ssshhh....don't tell anyone!   I'll take the oldies over the canned swill from WHBY.

You'll be happy to know CKOC and CHAM are the same company.
The short lived talk 820 failed miserably, so let's hope this means they're happy with both the Country and oldies numbers enough to avoid going back to talk on either station!
There's enough Art Bell (or whoever it is now.)
We don't need more talk repeating itself on the dial. We need great stations like CKOC 1150!
