When Blue Jays rights-holder Sportsnet decided to simulcast TV broadcasts on its radio network this year, it left Toronto as the only big-league team without a dedicated radio broadcast crew.
The network s commentators had to pivot from a television-only style to one that would be inviting for radio listeners as well. Rob Corte, vice-president of Sportsnet and NHL Productions, is pleased with the early results. So far, so good, Corte said in a recent interview. We ve had a few discussions about how we can make it a little bit more radio at times without compromising the television product. But it is a fluid process and we re constantly tweaking it and looking for ways to get better as the season goes on.

Last year’s National Nurses Week theme “The Year of the Nurse” continues for 2021, with front-line nurse caregivers fighting to save lives during the COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020. Then, as a winter storm hit in February this year, Texas nurses were confronted with the great challenge of power outages and water shortages but still rose to the challenge to provide top care for their patients.
Nurses Week, May 6-12, 2021, brings to light a year that demanded changes in safety protocols throughout the medical community, such as remote telehealth patient visits, visitor limitations and masking requirements. Along with patient care also came new duties for diagnostic testing and, once vaccines became available, health care professionals began vaccinating the public.
