    Kind of like saying women that don’t go to the police can’t be raped, huh?

     

    I have no idea what is going on but don’t be absurd when making comments like that. Domestic assault often goes unreported to the police.

     

    First of all, I am talking about this allegation specifically - not domestic abuse as a whole re: police involvement. If this is legit, I would expect a police report, lawyers + media involvement as the story broke. Not click bait sites that no one edits for validity. 

     

    Second of all, there is a serious location issue...London versus Florida.

    It's a tough time to be in the news business, and hard decisions are being made by many papers across the country.

     

    Except many other news outlets did their transformations (aka deep cuts) about 5-8 years ago. How the TBN brass didn't see this coming YEARS ago is crazy. Putting all eggs in the paywall basket also super dubious.

    I wonder if that is part of the business plan. I have no clue what the numbers say..but if I was in Buffalo and going to work at 7:15 and had the option of listening live with ads, or listening to first hour on demand with no ads..no brainer to me, I am listening on demand.Get a solid 30 minutes of content as opposed to 17 or so. 

    Still baffles me why they do not insert a few ads at the 20 minute mark or so..but glad they do not!

     

    Ads are usually - as of now anyway if sold by WGR staff - super locally-focused. So they may not be relevant for those of us not in the area. Still wouldn't stop entercom/radio.com to insert more 'national' ads here and there.

    Why would WGR ditch their own app?

     

    This doesn't seem to make any sense. 

     

     

    It was probably an entercom-wide decision. The local affiliates probably have no say in the matter. Old app was buggy as hell for me at times and the new one does let you download for offline listening. 

     

    All that said, day 1 with strictly the new app and none of the hours have been uploaded yet for the morning show ?

    I'm not sure if there is a lower line of work than being a paparazzi reporter.

    Josh handled it well even though that guy was being annoying as hell and asking stupid questions.

     

    For sure - TMZ people are complete clowns.

    Who will I not get my sports news from now? 

     

    Hate to see anyone lose their job though. Hopefully they can pull through this. 

     

    Thank you. Regardless of the salty takes Sully et al have had over the years - most of which warranted, frankly - these are still people with families. At the end of the day, this isn't the fault of the reporters per se, but that of the execs and digital people that ever really made TBN that enticing from a design standpoint. The site is clunky and not programmed well by an editor. They probably could go use a wordpress theme and have a better site in a week.
