Delay is much longer than the AM side so didn’t bother with it. Hopefully that isn’t as much a problem with the regular station in game day. I hear you about the delay. HD radio is the same as streaming radio but instead of the Internet it's streaming over a digital carrier embedded in the FM signal. 1 Quote

I just remember him savaging Flutie at every chance as a "team cancer" etc. All the while weirdly glossing over RJ's avalanche of flaws. I can remember thinking the bias was so over the top that all logic flew out the window. It just seemed really unprofessional for someone who supposed to have a reasoned opinion. The old blowhard "coach" Chuck Dickerson on WGR also hated Flutie back then but he wasnt a legit media guy so I took his takes with a grain of salt and tbh they were kinda funny. 1 Quote
without a drought Posted February 17 Posted February 17 WGR550 now also broadcasting on 104.7 and 107.7 on your FM dial. Quote

The Firebaugh Kid Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I listened to WGR on the Bills app, which has since removed it. How do those of you from out of town listen to WGR? Quote

thenorthremembers Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I havent listened to WGR or the Bills App for any show since the season ended. That said, I think WGR may be better off with Riter and Graham. I am glad they didnt pick up ESPN radio or Rome. 1 Quote

I think Graham is going to become the new "Coach Dickerson" but a much more low key snarky version. Quote
YoloinOhio Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I listened to some of Riter and graham on Monday. It was definitely more interesting than Chris and Steve because they are willing to talk about all the stuff …but definitely brought back drought era PTSD and there certainly won’t be any rose colored glasses Quote

I heard Riter and Graham on Monday when I was in the car. It was nice. It felt untethered to the normal paint-by numbers we have seen at WGR forever and also extra caution in what they say about their "partners" the Bills and Sabres... but it didnt come across as bitter and unwarranted over-the-top criticism. I liked Graham's show and others on the other AM alternative back 5-10 years ago. Just never caught on. Not enough listeners who find it easier and more convenient to turn to 550 Quote

Better than pushing Ozempic, though. Now he needs to pick a home repair co. to sponsor to fix up his home. 2 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: I think Graham is going to become the new "Coach Dickerson" but a much more low key snarky version. He could barely contain himself reminding listeners Monday of his resume that he’s understandably proud of, but there was a definite chomping at the bit to go all superior on listeners. 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: I listened to some of Riter and graham on Monday.

Unless this is a two week run and done, some better prep work is in order. 1 Quote

I find that more user friendly than Audacy App. Can listen live on the Audacy App however. Edited February 18 by CBD Quote
