Ron MacLean's future could be in question as the same insider who reported Jeff Marek leaving Sportsnet gives a look at a timeline for the commentator.

Sportsnet is looking at other layoffs throughout all their media platforms, and Ron MacLean's departure is not out of the question. The commentator has been under a lot of scrutiny from fans, and as the media outlet looks to make changes, television personalities are no exception.

But according to YYZSportsMedia, MacLean will still have two years.

Why make that change before the NHL Rogers deal is up in two years?

MacLean has been with Sportsnet for 38 years and the fans feel that it is time for a change. MacLean was the popular host of 32 Thoughts Podcast but as media changes, so do the outlets. Sportsnet feels that radio is a dying medium. With their final two years upon us holding the majority of the broadcast rights in Canada, it seems like many more changes can be coming.

With Ron MacLean still on the air, he represents the old way of broadcasting, while the fans are ready for a change and to get some fresh looks from new faces. Fans have definitely been vocal on their opinions.

There will be some difficult times coming for Sportsnet, so we will see if they start to cater more towards their younger demographic.
