What this says about WGR and the new BFAN


Recommended Posts

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! It's about time ?

Yea, because radio stations are where the breaking news happens in 2018. Stop yelling at the clouds, grandpa - there are kids on your lawn.

Radio stations that cover a specific team with insiders, sure. Oh and I've got your Grandpa, right here ?

For baseball cards maybe.  I don't listen to the morning shows but the afternoon if basically "I have football news, but would rather not talk about it"

Turning to anger because you got called out for an incorrect rant,  isn't becoming of someone expecting more from someone else.

It's not without precedent. Dan Snyder of the Redskins owns his own radio group.

What's BFAN, couldn't find anything on Google

Someone doesn't know all radio and TV station call letters east of the Mississippi have to start with a W and be 4 letters long. (WGR is grandfathered.)

With all due respect, I disagree completely...I mean, isn’t blind homerism that carries ownership’s water what we have with One Bills Live?  And in my opinion, led by a John Murphy, it’s the worst show on WGR.  You simply can’t expect to get honesty from its hosts because they are always agreeing with everything the Bills organization does.  And you want 24 hours of this??? No thank you.

That's not how the world works anymore. Everything is through social media now.

Kind of a precarious  position for WGR with One Bills Live  (part of PSE?)coming from OBD whom I imagine wanted to control the information outflow. You want Murph to say "Hey I just saw Russ carrying a box of all his personal belongings being escorted out of the building by Security."

You would have loved living in the USSR or Germany from 1933 to early 1945.

Info they want to control just comes out on buffalobills.com and in tweets from the team.

Not real good at it, even Murphy makes me puke now choking on his righteousness.

Really?  Propaganda for what?  

 

Most folks around here are ready to kill Schopp and Bulldog on grounds of being critical of the Bills/Sabres.

 

Or perhaps are you referring to the actual propaganda programing in the lineup---John Murphy's show.

Thank God for Steve Tasker, he so far is always at odds with Murphy. Jones tried but quit, he hated Murphy so much he routed against his Michigan team out of spite. LMAO!!!!!!!

Perhaps the Peg's requested this to be low profile? Perhaps they dont want this to be published so much for the protection of the offended?

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,

Twitter is the new source for breaking news.  Even if Sal Cappacio or anyone from WGR gets any breaking news, it usually goes to their twitter first.

There are several times when breaking news has happened where they'll tweet the event and then follow up with a call to the radio station.

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.

 

Also - Jim Rome has not been relevant in years, can we start a thread about him next?

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.

Agreed.  There seems to be a lot of butt hurt callers in this thread who had Schopp hang up on them.
