City broadcasts, sadly, will be silenced: Loss of the Bills as a sponsor dooms broadcasts
by Keith McShea
It was with great disappointment that, sitting in a parking lot at Sweet Home, I listened to the halftime show during the Intense Milks Game of the Week on WJJL (1440 AM) during Cleveland Hill's 32-0 victory over Lafayette at All High Stadium.
Rich Kozak, who originated the idea for the city broadcasts in 1999, announced that this season would be the last.
The operation had lost a major sponsor (...) The sponsor that left was the Buffalo Bills. Kozak assumed the team was in for its usual portion this season, which amounted to a sixth of the budget, but they weren't.
