950 ESPN-AM to carry Super Bowl XLIII this Sunday

MarcB said:
Doesn't 950 carry most football games from Westwood One? If so it's no surprise that they're carrying the Superbowl.
Yes. They carry the Sunday/Monday night games as well as the Thursday night games and the playoffs.

Wow. What a god send. Who needs 1080i video when we got WPEN 5k dynamic range audio with a heaping side of I-buzz super bowl coverage.

I think Channel 10 might be carrying it too (not only in HD but in Dolby Surround too).
 
Hey Sam Lit, why rip 950 due to signal. What station have you ever been on? Have you ever heard of the automobile? People in cars may actually want to listen to the Super Bowl if they are driving during the game. You probably would be calling into WIP to complain about Donovan Mc Nabb during the Super Bowl.
 
950 ESPN would be a much more viable outlet in Philly if they had some marketing and more local talent. Mike Miss beat Eskin with the young people, but it makes no sense that they have Jody gettign calls from people in their 60's then Snoozfest and Van Pelt show leading into Mikey Miss and his younger auidence.

You get 2 live shows with young energized hosts and Mikey Miss will not only win the ratings war with Eskin, but the ad dollars war in that time slot as well.

They need a live weekend presence...BIG TIME. When I am in my car on the weekend, I am FORCED to listen to WIP if I want a local spin, which typically I do...and it pains me to have to do that, but 950 has forced me to move my dial with no weekend live presence.

As for now though, they have to be something that WIP is not and that is a veichle to carry games like the Super Bowl and World Series, NCAA tourney games stuff like that.
