As the 1980s progressed, as it became evermore popular, CJCL began devoting more time to sports talk programming. This culminated in the launch of "Prime Time Sports", for which McCown was brought back to host, in 1988 Although the pilot episode aired on October 2, 1989, it was actually taped a year earlier in a bar in Etobicoke, and focused on Ben Johnson's positive test for steroids at that year's Seoul Olympics. CJCL completed its format change on September 4, 1993 when it rebranded as "The Fan 1430" and became Canada's first all-sports radio station. McCown was subsequently given his own morning program, "The Bob McCown Show," while Dan Shulman took over as anchor of PTS.
