Re: WGR

It's so annoying. I was psyched when I found out I could get them on my blackberry, but their lack of Bills talk is annoying, and I don't even listen now.

Re: WGR

I stopped listening to them a couple years ago. Every once in a while I'll turn it on and they have me pissed off within 10 minutes reminding me while I stopped listening. They are a joke imo. I am suprised Howard Simon would work with such losers. He was a good sports guy till he hooked up with a bunch of jokers.

Re: WGR

Is there another good station?

Hopefully on Shoutcast too...

Re: WGR

I will have an announcement very soon about some new live stuff I'm doing over the Internet....totally devoted to Bills talk! If everything goes well it will be a live, weekly show. I'm even toying with my own live post-game show for callers.

Hope you can listen and even join in the discussion.

Re: WGR

they talk about the Bills more than they are worth talking about.

Perhaps. But talk about some sports, not sandwiches for crying out loud. Talk about the AFC East if there isn't much to talk about the Bills.

Re: WGR

As soon as NFL regular season begins and the Sabres season begins, we won't have to listen to them blathering about sandwiches and other garbage like baseball.

They are talking about football right now. There is only so many times you can go over the same thing in a four hour show.

Re: WGR

There isn't a lot going on in Buffalo sports and they talk about all kinds of stuff. Some of their stuff can be frustrating and sometimes I want to put my fist through the radio but they do talk a lot about the Bills and Sabres. How many conversations can you have about TO's toe, Trent Edwards check downs, and Dick Jauron being a terrible coach.

As soon as Sabres season starts they will definitely have more to talk about - especially with the Sabres getting Grier, McCormick, Montador and letting go of Peters. Also, the possible addition of Tyler Myers, Tim Kennedy, or Nathan Gerbe.

True. But speaking of check down, the formula should be:
Bills News and Opinions
AFCE News and Opinions
Rest of the NFL News and Opinions
Good sports stories.
Baseball news.
Other sports news.
Perhaps some national news.
When all of that is exhausted, you can talk about sandwiches. Or talk about sandwiches a little here and there without taking time away from anything else above.

Re: WGR

They do go off on rediculous tangents sometimes. I've written to them about it. But nothing is worse than when they talk about baseball.

For the most part, they talk about what gets ratings. Some people listen just to ***** that they don't talk enough about sports. But they are rated near the top in all sports format radio stations. The morning show won't talk about regular sports stories much, or they will just mention in for a couple minutes unless it is a huge story. They WON'T talk about other teams much at all because the Buffalo market doesn't care about other teams, even teams in their own division. They don't talk much about baseball because there is no team in Buffalo, each personality likes a different team for the most part (Simon and White are Mets fans) and it is a Yankees market. They get pretty good ratings, so I don't think their format will change much. If you want a decent amount of Bills news, you will have to listen to the whole show, there really isn't any other option every day for an all Buffalo Bills news station.

Re: WGR

They are talking about sandwiches because there is only so many times you can bring up TO's toe in a four hour span before people get sick of it and stop listening. I don't blame them for changing it up once in a while. The same talk over and over and over again is the worst.

As for Simon, he is probably the biggest loser on that station. The guy doesn't even watch games and then acts like a damn expert all the time.
