Right now, Entercom is broadcasting WGR550 on 107.7 FM (The former WNSA station). Now I have a choice. :D

Entercom is going to change the format of WNSA...they just don't want to have nothing but dead air.

If they were smart, they'd keep WNSA a sports station and switch WGR.

They were broadcasting Sporting News radio since Friday and not dead air. I'm surprised they are doing this now.

That would make a lot of sense. They get the Rochester sports market, if they did WGR55 on 107.7.

I don't like their new concept. It's bills talk or nothing. I don't care about baseball, NBA ( I like watching it but not listening about it) and about the idiot who made that Tillman article. They kept giving this guy air time instead of letting it die:boring:

won't matter...they are not going to stream it...it might reach Roch or Elmira but it is not going to help folks who used to listen over the internet...

They were probably losing in the ratings to Sporting News radio. Jim Rome hits the nail on the head when he calls these managers monkeys.

Tried listening again this morning...dead air...if they are simulcasting then it must only be Shoop and Bulldog.

If they kept WNSA as a sports format and changed WGR, they would lose the Chautauqua County market because we don't get WNSA very well here. Let's say I'd be disappointed.

At one time listeners could get WGR or WKBW radio all the way down the east coast...now I have trouble getting WGR at my house (in OP) after 9 PM and before 7 AM...there must be some regulation regarding their signal or they are saving money by turning it down.

TigerJ, you anywhere near Bemis Pt.? My fathers side of the family has a cottage on Chautauqua Lake. I want to say it is in DeWittville, does that make sense?
