New York Jets radio to WAXQ Q104.3 for the 2024 season as ESPN 98.7 signs off later this year.

TBH, do u think they can buy either 1050 or 1560 to give iHeart its own sports station.

 

[davideduardo]

I’m thinking WOR or WABC simulcast or a Direct competitor for Q104.3 with a little alternative sprinkled in. Or someone takes another try with Country

Neither of those tried-and-failed formats will return to a full ESB facility. The market has changed too much for those formats to work.

IHeart can buy one more AM before reaching the total ownership limit, but I doubt they will do that.

any more radio rights might look aside from the Jets?

The NFL schedules were just released and the Jets have their bye week on Thanksgiving weekend so nothing to worry about with the Q104.3 countdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No they don't. They play Seattle at home on Sunday, December 1st, three days after Thanksgiving, which occurs on November 28, the fourth Thursday in November, as it always does.

I'd be more interested in the over/under on posts in this thread before it's shut down. Come to think of it, there should be betting available on all aspects of RadioDiscussions. Might liven up things around here a little.

I'm taking the over on everyone's age, and -50000 on male.

I guess I read the schedule wrong. I wonder how this will affect the countdown

This is a big story, and if you broaden the view a bit, you'll see that iHeart is amassing a number of local NFL team radio rights. They managed to take away the Green Bay Packers from Good Karma in Milwaukee, and now the Jets in NYC.

What is interesting to me is that Good Karma is making a big deal about it's online streaming. But in point of fact, iHeart owns the biggest streaming platform of all the radio companies. They've been making pretty solid offers to these teams, that combines broadcast (on FM), online (on IHR), and digital highlights that is hard to beat. Obviously Good Karma wasn't able to beat or match it.

With No ILL 😷 will intended. IHeart media has been restructuring & Laying off people the last two weeks. Is this so they can scrounge up the Money to pay 💰 for the rights to the Jets On Q104.3. ?

It's not a cause and effect thing. Those unfortunate folks were gone no matter what.

It's not "Can we pay you?", it's "Do we make money off of you?"

I'm not aware of any iHeart staffers who've been laid off in the NYC market. Are you?

I see thanx for replying & giving me this information I appreciate it.

I already gave you a reply to this exact same question earlier in this thread.
It would be appreciated if you would actually read what I wrote, understand it, then save it to memory -
or maybe print it out if you need constant reference.
