CIVL is the University of the Fraser Valley’s campus and community radio station. The News also reached out to Corus, who are responsible for programming on CKNW 980 and AM 730 and a representative stated Abbotsford Canucks coverage is not something they are currently considering.Ĭorus appears to be dipping its toes back into the water for sports coverage, as they are now the home of the BC Lions and the Vancouver Whitecaps.Īnother possibility is Abbotsford’s CIVL 101.7, which carried the Abbotsford Heat’s final season back in 2013-14. The station’s website still lists them as ‘the Valley’s home for the Vancouver Canucks’ and notes they air every game.

The News reached out to Country 107.1 to ask about their plans for this season, but they did not reply to an inquiry. This year that is 82 regular season games for the Canucks and 68 for the Giants, plus all of the playoff coverage (if needed) for both teams. The other factor is an already packed schedule on Sportsnet 650, as they cover every Vancouver Canucks and Vancouver Giants game already. That’s part of the reason why Rogers-owned Country 107.1 has carried Vancouver Canucks games since Sportsnet 650 acquired those rights. However, it seems unlikely that Sportsnet 650 would pick up the Abbotsford Canucks for a number of reasons – firstly is that the station’s signal is weak in Abbotsford and farther east. changed significantly when Bell Media shut down TSN 1040 back in February, leaving only one dedicated all-sports radio station in the province – Sportsnet 650. The landscape of sports radio in the Lower Mainland and B.C. With less than two months to go until the team plays its first game, the Abbotsford Canucks have yet to announce a radio partner and it’s unclear if they will do so.
