K-9 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Why do they keep playing it? Because it’s paid ad revenue. It’s on the advertiser entirely. They must think there’s a market to tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yup. I love to listen to OBL but the number of ads is painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrbojanglezs Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 thats nothing compared to the use paper straws or DIE commercials from last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Interesting to note that there are a lot of national and regional commercials on 550. Partly due to Entercom’s large station base, partly due to the fact they probably find it difficult to fill advertising spots with local businesses. Much better to hear the hayseed shill for Cordell and Cordell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'm in Jersey and was in Orchard Park listening to WGR yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 It cannot be as bad as the Bank of Amerika commercial we get in Northern Virginia. Some guy named TJ Flex, claims to 18 year customer, talks about business loans and then the corporate rat gets on and talks about benefits for employees. The two people do not seem to be communicating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWinPlease Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 How about the bottle and can redemption center out here in Canandaigua? Lol. Do they think... A. That there isn't a place to return cans and bottles in Buffalo, and.... B. That people are going to drive from Buffalo, or even Rochester, to return their cans and bottles in Canandaigua? It cracks me up every time I hear it, I'll have to ask them about it next time I go there...it's just the weirdest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Those ads are supposed to be targeted by region, unless their stats show a lot of NJ listenership to WGR. Otherwise why advertise to people who can't use your service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always sounds like they are saying "M"eedle. Wow, and while I am typing this that ad pops up. ? At least it is not an "adult oriented ad", those really frustrate me. If I had a child(ren) in the car with me, I would be so mad! Kids shouldn't have to hear those ads, and you never know if they will be on WGR or not. Usually it goes in cycles, luckily I haven't heard any lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sports podcasts I listen to always seem to have them. Makes it kind of discouraging to try and listen while I do work around the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go to one or both of the 2 games in NJ and turn on the Radio app? I thought the reason I was getting the commercial was because I had their app on while I was in NJ. If you were never there then I guess it's a commercial everyone is getting. I've got a casino 22 miles from my house if I want to bet football, I don't need to go to NJ to bet the games.

Nick the Greek Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) The ads on the app have to be different than those on actual radio in WNY. you can hear the local ad and cut to the national crap if you listen closely. what I can’t stand is the pink party ad and how they play clips of this 2 pop songs... I can’t stand it anymore!!!! Edited September 30, 2019 by Nick the Greek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
