People are not happy about TSN 1040 shutting down.

With today's news that TSN 1040 would no longer be a sports radio station, Vancouverites have voiced plenty of displeasure with the decision.

It was announced earlier today, and quickly took effect. After goodbyes from some on-air staff the song 'Good Riddance' from Green Day began to play.

And then Vancouver's Twitter community blew up.

Some were thankful for what TSN 1040 had brought:

More were angry:

A couple made jokes:

Others looked for a new way to replace what was lost:

The local sports media scene shared their disappointment that one of the major pillars in the region had fallen; even though TSN 1040 could be considered a competitor.

Mourning is also happening over on Reddit:
