Corus Inks New Deal Keeping Calgary Flames Play-By-Play On Radio.
The agreement gives Flames fans a dedicated station and adds a daily talk show as Corus replaces the recently shut-down Sportsnet 960.
- On Wednesday, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation and Corus Entertainment announced a five-year deal to broadcast all Calgary Flames home and road games on QR Calgary 770 AM, beginning the 2026-27 season.
- Rogers Sports and Media shuttered previous broadcaster Sportsnet 960 and 660 NewsRadio in July, eliminating 230 jobs across six cities due to declining radio advertising revenue and increased digital competition.
- Launching on CHQR, "Flames Now" will provide daily sports talk offering game analysis and team updates, filling the void left by the previous broadcaster's closure.
- CSEC President and CEO Robert Hayes stated the organization "heard" fans "loud and clear," emphasizing the deal ensures games remain accessible to the "C of Red" throughout the upcoming season.
- Corus Entertainment Vice President Audio Tammy Cole called the partnership a "full circle moment," noting the station previously broadcast the team's 1989 Stanley Cup win, with further updates on the broadcast team expected.
