Amidst cuts, Sportsnet Broadcaster MacLean's fate revealed by insider

This year has brought some changes to SportsNet, the largest sports network in Canada. We have seen Jeff Marek get fired by SportsNet as they appear to be trying to head into a different direction. Marek, host of 32 Thoughts Podcast shared a message to everyone who supported him.

Now an insider at YYZSportsMedia is also predicting many more moves to come. Although he is trying to be very clear, any changes to the company are not related to Jeff Merek's release.

With all this swirling around, fans are clamoring to have one particular broadcaster removed from the company as well...Ron MacLean. And fans are having their say in wanting to see MacLean go.

With that said, it was also mentioned by this insider at YYZSportsMedia that MacLean has two years left on his contract and there is no intentions at this point for SportsNet to part ways with the broadcaster.

SportsNet has mentioned about making changes, especially on the radio broadcasting side of the business, that some believe to be archaic in today's world, no one listens to radio.

If Sportsnet is truly looking to make changes and possibility cater to a young demographic then removing MacLean might not be a bad move. But it is looking more like they will continue on with his final two years and just hope for the best.
