For nearly two decades, Dave Pratt was a mainstay on 1040 on the AM radio dial. In March, however, cutbacks by Bell Media sent Pratt packing, as his morning show was replaced by Mike Halford and Jason Brough.

It seems, however, that Pratt isn鈥檛 done with being a part of the 麻豆传媒映画media landscape. Some cryptic clues and a suggest he鈥檚 moving to the digital realm with a new podcast: the Prattcast.

With Team/TSN 1040, Pratt had an impressive decade-long run alongside Don Taylor. For a while, Pratt and Taylor was the highest rated sports talk show in Canada, and for good reason. The two big personalities clashed in a wonderfully harmonious way, sparking sports arguments across 麻豆传媒映画with their hot takes.

When contract disputes broke up the duo, it was never quite the same. Taylor found a new rhythm with Barry Macdonald before he . He now hosts the afternoon show on TSN 1040 with Bob 鈥淭he Moj鈥� Marjanovich.

Pratt briefly left 1040 to host a show on CKNW 980, but returned to 1040 to host the morning show with 鈥淏ro Jake鈥� Edwards. While Bro Jake was a radio veteran, he was a newcomer to sports talk and it never quite clicked.

Now Pratt is looking to the podcasting world.

Pratt hinted that he wasn鈥檛 done after he was laid off from TSN 1040, tweeting out a guarantee that he and 麻豆传媒映画sports fans would talk again. He hasn鈥檛 tweeted since.

With the website and other hints, it鈥檚 become clear that Pratt鈥檚 guarantee will take the form of the Prattcast.

Some may question the similarity of the name 鈥淧rattcast鈥� to the much-beloved 鈥淧atcast.鈥� The Patcast was Jeff Paterson and the recently-departed Jason Botchford. Since Botchford鈥檚 tragic passing, Paterson has made it clear that the Patcast won鈥檛 continue; it just wouldn鈥檛 be the same. To start a new podcast in the 麻豆传媒映画sports market with such a similar name seems like really questionable timing.

That said, Pratt鈥檚 name is 鈥淧ratt鈥� and it鈥檚 natural to include such a well-known name in the name of your podcast. It just seems like there had to be a better way to do so.

There鈥檚 also the awkward fact that a 鈥淧ratt Cast鈥� already exists. It鈥檚 a , who, along with her brother Spencer Pratt, was on the reality TV series The Hills. With a sequel coming out 鈥� The Hills: New Beginnings 鈥� the Pratt Cast is apparently the 鈥渁ll access pass to everything happening on and off the camera.鈥�

I'm anticipating some very confused The Hills fans befuddled to hear听rants about the 麻豆传媒映画Canucks and bike lanes instead of celebrity gossip.

The Prattcast will feature co-host Kerry Marshall, a radio veteran that has worked for C-FOX, Jack FM, and Roundhouse Radio.听, the Prattcast will be 鈥渁 Podcast that talks in absolutes with no apologies for the Topic Matter or the Opinions that go with it鈥� and adds that it鈥檚 鈥淭ime to put some Fun鈥� back into 鈥楽ports Talk鈥�!鈥�

The question is whether Pratt鈥檚 audience that listened to him on the radio will follow him as he moves online.
