Returntoglory Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 For a station that touts being " The official radio for the Buffalo Bills and Sabres" to not break the Russ Brandon story speaks volumes about the disconnection that station has with the Bills, the players and management! Their insiders should have broke this , with the Pegulas blessing but did not because they are not trusted nor are they considered legit by ownership and management. I think it's now time for Kim & Terry to venture into ownership of their own Radio Station! Why not? Stock it with local and national professionals, maybe pick up a few of the ESPN Jocks that were let go. Homer network? Maybe. But they have the juice. BFAN Baby!

4thandGoal Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I heard the story from WGR about 5pm-- not sure what time it actually came out but to me --they broke the story but WGR as a whole still SUCKS!!! John Murphys show is not about causing controversy so if he wants ot be a homer-- so be it!!! the other hosts dont have to be fans of our teams but dont berate people that for the opinion and hang up on them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountDorkula Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have never seen a fan base try to dog a radio station as much as bills fans do. If you actually listened to them yesterday. you would have heard both Schoop, Bulldog and yes even !@#$ Sal Capaccio say that this was kept very closed in the organization. This caught everyone by surprise. Stop caring about WGR so much, and If you dont like it turn it the F)(*^ off. but i guess that wouldn't give you anything to B word about, and most of your lives would then be incomplete.

stony Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Being the official station of the Bills simply means they have broadcast rights for the games. Not that they should break every Bills-related piece of news. 29 minutes ago, CountDorkula said: I have never seen a fan base try to dog a radio station as much as bills fans do.
