Former TSN 1040 hosts Sekeres and Price "staying together" on new show
TSN 1040 may be dead, but it appears its top-rated show will live on.
Matt Sekeres and Blake Price are working on something, with a more formal announcement coming soon from the longtime co-hosts of TSN 1040’s PM drive show.
“Found myself recording face-to-face with [Blake Price],” Sekeres said in a Tuesday evening tweet. “We’re staying together for the kids.”
Today marks 1 month since 1040 closed shop & wanted everyone to know that in the last 24 hours, found myself recording š·face-to-faceš· with @justBlakePrice.
Weāre staying together for the kids. Itās for the best.
Hoping to share more as soon as tomorrow. #LogoUnderConstruction pic.twitter.com/aYy6OK2wrC

The duo is staying tightlipped on the details of their new landing spot for now, though there are plenty of rumours out there.
On Monday, Daily Hive reported thatĀ North Beach Agency was interested in providing a home for many TSN 1040 hosts, including Sekeres and Price, with a streaming/podcast format. North Beach Agency is a localĀ marketing and advertising agency run by former TSN 1040 program director Rob Gray and advertising sales rep Rob Rees, so it seems like a logical fit.
āWe have a couple of podcast on the go already: āRay and Dregsā and āOn the Bus with Cammi and AJ,ā and are always exploring different opportunities to partner with other dynamic personalities and storytellers in that space,ā said Gray.
Soooo… have you heard? Like literally āheardā? Sekeres and Price is coming back soon. And we had a short chat about it. Longer chats coming! Apple link is below, but find it on your favourite pod platform! And yes, #LogoStillUnderConstruction https://t.co/IYNvd7bbnQ pic.twitter.com/9Usyfn13Uc

In other news, Don Taylor is continuing to tease his return.
Taylor said last week that he was “working on a return to the airwaves,” involving “some friends from 1040.” He followed that up this week by tweeting out a picture of Rick Dhaliwal, followed by a cryptic message, promising “Rick’s Return” to a “media outlet near you.”
Daily Hive can confirm that Taylor and Dhaliwal will be working together, with an announcement expected as soon as next week.

Three weeks ago I walked into HubCast Media with an idea for a show on the heels of losing my previous one.
I am proud to announce that we have agreed to a full 82-game schedule for next season. Details to come, but thank you @HubcastMedia and to all of those who stuck with me. pic.twitter.com/p1da43DNi0
