BillsVet Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 For the first time since I've been back in WNY (5 years) WGR had player interviews. Drayton Florence and Stevie J both had regular segments on the morning and afternoon shows respectively. I suppose it could happen, but I wonder if the Bills priced themselves out of their previous deal. Ratings/Ad revenue probably aren't that great either owing to the team's failures on the field.

Chandler#81 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The station is of less concern to me than changing the announcing crew. I hope they have auditions or tryouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAinLack. Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 WGR? I would rather have a root canal than listen to WGR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 this is unlikely to be a popular point of view, but i happen to enjoy pretty much everyone on wgr. for a market this size, i think we get a pretty good complement of talent and don't know why people hate the station so much. i don't necessarily agree with everything i hear, but it's still entertaining. to me, at least.

CardinalScotts Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It will be WGR- that's too bad. They are such a negative group - but I suppose its like newspapers, good stories no one reads. Or golf more bad players than good ones - the equipment is overwhelmingly to help the bad ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Ike Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Maybe they'll be broadcast by the same people broadcasting in albany this past year - No one Edited January 2, 2012 by Endless Ike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 it will be WGR... it makes too much sense not to happen BTW, Bills games used to be on WGR. They might have to fire Schopp or hogtie him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowgirlsFan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I do Bills games on the 97 Rock app on my iPhone . It lets me have all the preseason games and regular season ones when I am unable to be at the Bills Backers Cafe. I even listened to their pregame while driving from the hotel to Qualcomm Stadium for the San Diego game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 WBEN same exact company, so I would expect the games to air on the sports station rather than the news talk station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheddar's Dad Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I stopped listening when, hoping to hear sports talk, I tuned in and heard pantheon of chicken sh*t talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I stopped listening when, hoping to hear sports talk, I tuned in and heard pantheon of chicken sh*t talk. I know.... it could be a better station as the official Bills station though... a lot more access to players/coaches It makes sense... But who knows, MSG being on cable in NY and Buffalo made sense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) LINK. I guess things got too expensive for Cumulus radio. There are only three major broadcast owners in Buffalo: Cumulus which owns 97 Rock among others, Entercom which owns WGR, WBEN, etc, and Townsquare that owns WBLK, WJYE, WYRK, etc. Entercom is the only serious contender in Buffalo. WHAM (Clear Channel) in Rochester once held Bills rights so they are a possibility. But you know who I think may make a play for Bills rights?? Rogers in Toronto, owner of The Fan 590 among several others. The more I think about it the more sense it makes.
