Tsaikotic Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 ok lets just cut it off durring the coaches postgame speech...nice channel....for thos of u in Buffalo..is channel 7 a real channel or just a local crap channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 No, Mr. Stepner is not having a good night, is he? To be fair, the graphics were screwed up, and his hemming and hawing during the highlights made me think the prompter was down and he was trying to call them off the monitor. How far the mighty WKBW has fallen. Nice job, Granite Broadcasting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 ok lets just cut it off durring the coaches pregame speech...nice channel....for thos of u in Buffalo..is channel 7 a real channel or just a local crap channel?

Big Turk Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 clark griswald? No, Corey...or as I always say...the only guy on WGR that immediately causes me to change the station back to FM regardless of what he is talking about...he is as annoying as 100 mosquitos flying around your face...I just can't stand him for mor than about 15 seconds...

stevewin Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 And Holy Crap - what a classic sign-off - dramatically folds his papers in half and starts writing a note to himself.

Alas, he's now the lead news anchor and executive producer at a station in Yuma, Az., so he's unavailable. He sucks so bad. I think it was '05 where a caller asked the last time the Bills won their home opener. He stutters and mumbles for 10 minutes and finally yells out: "Well it wasn't Jacksonville last year, haha"!

I know I couldn't do that job -- hell, I normally run the other way whenever someone starts talking about airtime. (I will bash the crap out of the Three Stooges act in the NFLNet booth tonight, though. They're getting paid too much to sound that bad.) And why you guys gotta be like that about Brinson? C'mon now -- he's a decent guy. Plus, the way I hear it, the ratings actually went up when he was out there before, so they asked him to come back ...

DonInBuffalo Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 When I used to work downtown about 20 years ago, there was a bar across the street I routinely went to on Fridays. Rick Azar occasionally frequented the bar to throw darts. We had some interesting sports conversations while he was waiting his turn. http://7newsunfair.com/demands.htm WKBW has gone in the toilet because the station is owned by a conglomerate that is trying to break the union. Doing a little research, the guy who was doing the postgame show is Shawn Stepner. According to his bio on the site, this is his second gig. The first was as the sports director for a station in Hagerstown, MD, population about 36K. (i.e barely big enough to even have a TV station) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
