QR 770 in Calgary announces its new radio coverage plans for the Calgary Flames, following its earlier acquisition of the team’s broadcast rights. The station says the lineup will include familiar hockey broadcasting voices Pat Steinberg and Derek Wills, along with updated programming tied to the Flames partnership.
Both outlets report the coverage begins for the upcoming season, with details focused on the on-air team and the station’s new slate of sports content. The Financial Post adds that the launch is set to start September 14, describing it as the start of a new era of Flames coverage on QR 770AM under Corus Entertainment.
While the Calgary Herald emphasizes the recognizable “Calgary hockey” presence of Steinberg and Wills and frames the announcement as part of the station’s preparation for the year, the Financial Post also highlights a broader programming change, including a new sports talk show element alongside the confirmed broadcast team. Across both accounts, the key point is that QR 770 is moving into Flames radio coverage with these established broadcasters.
