Victory Formation Posted February 3 Posted February 3 4 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: I don't listen to their sports shows But if I'm driving during a game I listen on the radio.. heck I've had the radio on and muted the TV back in van millers time even if it didn't sync I like listening to post game pressers on the radio If it goes completely off air that sucks because I'm not a big app guy... I don't want to download an app just to listen to a football game Radio is kind of a dinosaur at this point.. Social media seems to be where the money is at.. Quote

Diggstheprocess Posted February 3 Posted February 3 1 hour ago, yall said: I wonder if the coming demise of AM radio factored in? Car manufacturers are reportedly going to stop including it as a feature in the very near future. It didn’t come in my current car… I had to do a bunch of research when I got in the first time and couldn’t figure out how to get to the AM radio. Quote

I have been sick of the morning and afternoon crews for quite a while. The game day coverage is largely atrocious. They will now have even less real information to offer. I do like Sal. I find his segments to be more informative than WGRs other in house crap, although he will now be on the outside in as well now. So WGR told their staff today that they will now be “the voice of the fan”. I wish them luck with that. Personally, I am not that interested in the voice of the fan. I do want a source of information on the teams I love, and some related entertainment and analysis, but I frankly do not need them to give me the “voice of the fan”. Sayonara. 3 Quote
Donuts and Doritos Posted February 3 Posted February 3 This is probably bc they're getting the new stadium next year and want more control. So probably always part of their plan. But with all that has happened and the spat Beane had with Jeremy White which came up on the press conference, it's just poor timing. Any other off season would probably have been better from a PR standpoint. 1 Quote

When you own something you can do whatever the hell you basically want and Pegula did just that. He owes WGR nothing and will go on making even more money without them.

He'll put a lot of this behind a paywall. Cause Terry's favorite Bills are green. Go Dollar Bills! 2 Quote

While I want information about the teams, I also don't want everything is rainbows and sunshine. I will say is I will miss Sabres live. Liked how they talk about everything going on in the NHL Quote
Buffalo716 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 (edited) What if your driving through WNY and your phone is dead? And it's game time? You literally won't be able to Access the game at all? Some of the old timers here have to have a real nostalgia about listening to van miller as the voice... Listening on the radio is not preferred to television but I still find a calm enjoyment from it Edited February 3 by Buffalo716 Quote

Walking Tall Posted February 3 Posted February 3 52 minutes ago, US Egg said: Guess I’m defending them saying it’s a format that peaked 20 years ago, radio in general that is. So much more now providing alternatives, be it informative, lighthearted, serious. Radio is a dinosaur. …..forgot comedic, which Schopp so wittingly flails at. I do like radio. I don’t listen to Schopp and Bulldog much. Jeremy and Joe….every show talks about wide receivers. Every Damn Show. They got their 15 minutes and are trying to stretch the hell out of it. 3 Quote
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted February 3 Posted February 3 So Terry fully embraced state controlled media … I’m not at all surprised that this happened in this day and age, but I’m sure Terry and Beane’s thin skin and pettiness played a role in this … maybe WGR will give Sullivan a time slot to hammer Terry’s teams when necessary 😂 2 Quote

estro613 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I predict Sal C will be leaving WGR550. He already works for the Bills in some capacity, so it makes sense that he'd take a full time with the Bills. Probably the right spot for him too, he's always been a little bit in a pickle working for the Bills but also having to be "objective" on the Bills working for WGR. Time will tell Quote
