    WGR550 big announcement planned for tomorrow at studios

    Brian Koziol who is host of the Sabres Post game show just before the end of the Post Game hinted that there's going to be a big announcement tomorrow at the WGR550 studios so be shure to tune in. Wouldn't say what it's all about. I was hoping that Bull Frog and Soap were getting fired.

    The Buffalo Bills and Entercom Communications are expected to announce that the team's radio broadcasts will return to WGR 550.

    After Cumulus Media announced Monday that it was out of the bidding for the Bills' radio rights, Entercom seemed like the logical place for the games to land. Entercom owns WGR -- the all-sports station that also carries Buffalo Sabres games -- along with WBEN, KISS 98.5, Star 102.5 FM, WKBW 1520 and AM 1400.

    Broadcasting sources confirmed Tuesday that WGR will carry the Bills in 2012. The announcement may come as soon as Wednesday.

      WGR will no doubt hire John Murphy and Mark Kelso to do their broadcasts. They are not a bad radio duo for a small market. Kelso isn't the most exciting radio personality, but he gives some pretty good insights sometimes.
      I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

      I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

          Nope...WHAM dropped out yesterday. It's going to be on one of the Entercom Rochester stations...I'm guessing either WCMF or WROC 950AM.

                    You're probably right, although WHAM wasn't one of the stations covered under the Cumulus agreement so they may not be out of the running yet (they were listed in the PR writeup, but that was a mistake-- they're not a Cumulus station). It depends on what some of the other markets do.

                    If Clear Channel puts the games on their stations in Syracuse and Binghamton, there's a realistic shot that WHAM (also a Clear Channel station) stays in the Bills network.

                    If not (for instance, if Galaxy Communications, which has a sports station in the Syracuse market, picks up the Bills games), then it will probably stick with Entercom, likely WCMF because of its much better signal than that little stick they call WROC.

                      Yep, I miss Van - he was the VOICE of Bills. Now we get Kelso going "Murph Murph Murph Murph Murph" like he's in love with him or something. LOL I don't even like listening to the game on the radio - I'll just DVR it and get highlights on my cellphone if I can't be home to watch rather than endure the radio-cast.

                        Van was great but age just caught up with him. Toward the end of his career, he was so confused that he was calling players by the name of the guy who wore the same number 5-10 years earlier. I think he even referred to Moulds as Lofton one time. His brain apparently never left the early 90's.

                        If only the team was so lucky....

                          Wham is in big trouble these days , just last week they dropped some of the most popular expensive national shows for cheaper local ones and now the Bills. What a fall from the top. This is what happens when out of town money people buy things they have no idea about!!

                            What shows did WHAM drop now? Their morning show sort of went down the tubes when they canned Beth Adams - now it's just Chet Walker - kind of boring.

                            I think of it as the Mormon Station anyways once the morning news show ends - 5 or 6 hours in a row of veiled Mormonism - first Glenn Beck, then Bob Loonsberry. Can't they sandwich a Presbyterian in there somewhere? LOL Needless to say, I stopped listening a long time ago to WHAM in the morning and daytime - listen to Bob Mathews at 6 when I'm driving - that's about it.

                              Why'd they fire her? I remember listening intently every morning to hear if my school was closed.
