More and more sports shows covering the Calgary Flames are beginning to surface following Sportsnet 960’s closure in July.

After a brief period of uncertainty surrounding Calgary’s sports media landscape, the Flames announced a five-year deal with QR 770, which will now carry the radio broadcast for every game.

Along with the broadcast announcement, QR 770 also revealed Flames Now, a daily two-hour show hosted by Pat Steinberg and Jock Wilson. The show officially launched this past Monday.

Mike Richards has also joined QR 770 with The Raw Mike Richards Show, which airs once per week.

Now, a few more familiar voices from Sportsnet 960 are getting back into the Flames coverage game.

Matt Rose, a former host of the Big Show with Rusic and Rose, revealed on X earlier this week that he has partnered with Sick Media to launch The Rose Report.

“Very happy to be joining the Sick Media team and announcing the new show. We’ve got The Rose Report coming to Calgary,” Rose said. “It’ll be mostly Flames, but of course we’ll cover all things Calgary sports as well and the things that Calgary sports fans love.

“We have my guy Patrick Dumas along for the ride, and all of our usual friends from back from before coming along to join us throughout the show as well. We’re very excited and we hope that you guys will be very excited too.”

The Rose Report will air on YouTube at 2 p.m. every weekday and will also go live following every Flames game throughout the 2026-27 season.

With the Flames season just around the corner, the team’s media coverage is beginning to take shape, with several familiar voices finding new homes and new shows emerging across the Calgary sports landscape.
