Where in Connecticut?  Madison/Clinton straight line thru Waterbury is Red Sox - Yankees line.  So we got NYC, CT, and Boston stations.  Bills would be on local television every time we played the Jets and Patriots. Between the many CBS and NBC  stations- sometimes Bills would be on.  I’d watch Sabres-Bruins on NESN and MSG.  Mets were 9, Yanks were 11, Red Sox 38.  Knicks and Celtics.  UConn.  ESPN Bristol CT.  WNBC 660 sports radio could be hilarious.  When callers call out Franseca for BS or the late night phone calls lol.  They took calls all night! 😂 

 

much, much simpler times, but for a chunk of my life, I enjoyed Connecticut sports coverage 

 

Groton/New London, CT... was stationed there for over 3 years in the mid 2000s. Near both casinos and the beautiful game of poker easily and we were spoiled for sure. I can't listen to NYC radio and couldn't back then either- I don't know why they always try and present these "tough guy" personalities because they come off as insufferable and "get off my lawn" types. I admit I watch the Mike Francesa Podcast just to see him melt down about the Jests as a guilty pleasure.

I listen to Schopp and the Bulldog on my drive home. Some folks don't like them, but for me it's something. But I gotta say, they have the best gig in the world.

They have been announcing the move to TuneIn upon login the last few weeks

If WGR is anything like it was when I stopped listening then Rodin.com is doing everyone a favor…

Me too, born and raised. Since I'm a Mets fan I got plenty good content. but Bills info was very much lacking.

what is worse, Audacy app or WGR content?  Epic battle!

Maybe, but when you are stuck in Massachusetts, hearing Bills and Sabres talk on WGR, is like oxygen.  
 

I like when Marino, Greg Cosell, Dan Orlasky, are on.  I like the player reports and interviews.  I like Brown and Tasker.  Yes they are Bills homers.  So am I.  I like Sal.  I love the Hump day song 4:00 every Wednesday.  I like Marty and Paul- I can’t wait until Sabres start crushing!   Then those two will have something happy to talk about. I enjoy some of the calls.

 

but I get what your saying. Jeremy and Joe cried when Josh Allen was drafted instead of Josh Rosen.  That tells you all about their football knowledge.  Schoop and Bulldog wanted to trade two #1 picks and more,  for Brandon Ayuk.  And they were killing Bills offense before Amari.  Their mantra was “Everyone Snacks”.  So some more aggressive bad radio  

 

WGR is amateur hour. Half college interns, half dudes who have been there so long they can mail it in.

I feel like sabres talk, wherever you are, is like breathing in a giant pile of dump. 😢 

 

Because the team is in a drought, there is no effort to be accurate about reporting on the team.

Jeremy is the most informed host, and it’s not even close.  I like his podcasts with Marino and Ostroski. I like Jeremy

Between the two dodos Gary and Randy doing Sportscenter AM, Stephen A., Pat McAfee, Orlovsky and Booger, ESPN has fatally jumped the shark. I find myself going to the internet and just reading rather than watch ESPN's harakiri lineup.

everyone has to ahve the most hot edgy take to get the most notice and that's all its about

Yep - same here in CT. I like the morning crew but everything after noon sucks:  Hockey 12-1, tasker, brown, Maddy, etc I can't listen too.  Marino's podcast is really good

I am a Buffalo AM Sports Talk listener going back to Empire Sports, but WGR has lost me.   The morning show is unlistenable since Howard Simon retired.   I tune in for Howard picks the Bills but otherwise its nonsense about golf, soccer, and hockey.    Not to mention it seems like they are constantly on commercial.  Sal's show is good, Chris and Brownie are ok, hockey talk is dreadful, and Schoop and the Bulldog have been hit or miss their entire career.

 

Lately every time I turn the channel there its either a commercial or Sabers.   Sick of hearing about the hosts golf games or fantasy sports.

 

There are way too many options around things I am actually interested in.

Put in his application too late for Tim Hortons. 🙁

One of the best NFL sources of news is NFL radio on Sirius. Outside of the strictly players shows designed to talk with players in the league or recently out of it which has about all the average intelligence of a rock there are great shows, including with former players.

 

There are few hot takes or people who look to have wild takes for interaction. Booger McFarland is a complete clown though. 

When your name is booger, the bar isn’t set very high. juss sayin’

I love WGR.  I enjoy the morning and afternoon shows (not so much for one bills live, I avoid that one)  I know that's an unpopular opinion in here but I think the complaining is a little over the top.  There is a lot I disagree with on those shows and a lot that I agree with.  To me that is decent radio.  Yes there are some dud segments but there is also some great stuff.

It’s called SPORTS radio, not FOOTBALL radio. Whether someone likes it or not, they absolutely should discuss other sports.

You are 100% right, and even with that said the majority of talk is Bills related, even in the off season

I understand that it’s their core audience and they’re almost obligated to over saturate the air with it, but I enjoy the Sabres talk (more so when they’re remotely relevant) and as an avid golfer I appreciate their takes. Given the amount of airtime they have to fill in a market without MLB & NBA teams, I can even tolerate the annual Halloween candy drAft 😂
