I agree that Schopp is the best guy there, and obviously sets out to generate "controversy".
I live in Los Angeles, and only listen now and then when I visit Buffalo...it's not very good radio compared to the local LA guys. I have heard Schopp giving "Bills Reports" on an LA station....he is a different guy, and very good.
Perhaps it is the state of small market terrestrial radio, but I think most people that complain just feel it would be nice to have a higher standard from the local guys that interact with the community directly. Instead, their "best" option is a guy like Schopp, who even you agree is "playing" the listeners.
