More than like it means see you next year. cuz CBS Radio isnt interested in Sports PBP anymore.
No. no there is a difference in the bitter to which I refer; a difference between bitter and white hot angry.
KD was bitter that the Pirates would dare take their ball and go elsewhere. They gave them a bad offer from the team's standpoint and then couldn't understand why the club went elsewhere. They thought that the renewal was automatic and that the Pirates wouldn't dare leave the nest.
They aren't bitter on the Northshore.....they are livid. Many angry phone calls were exchanged over the delay right up to the last day and you couldn't find a soul at 115 Federal Street who has a kind word to say about Michael Young right now. This was a divorce.
The announcers were under strict orders not to mention KDs calls during the broadcast and to refrain from broaching the subject of the historical significance of the Sunday broadcast.

What does the board make then of Kevin McClatchy's statement thanking KDKA for 51 great years and wishing the station the best when the announcement was made publicly?

What else could he say? There are times when the only appropriate thing to say is a polite lie.

When the team fires a manager or general manager, they thank him for his hard work and wish him all the best in the future.
But they still fire him.

honestly...can you think of anything more boring to hear on the radio than baseball?...i'm sorry...that is the ultimate tune out...inside of 2 seconds, i am gone from kdka as soon as i hear the compression pick up nobody in pnc park on a tuesday afternoon at 1...who cares?
Damn, that's brilliant analysis.
Slightly off topic... I stayed up and listened one 1975 summer night in my dad's cottage in Dewey Beach, DE to Bob Prince doing the Bucs on KDKA from San Diego (I think). I rooted against the Pirates (sorry, I was and am a fan of the Phillies, who were chasing the Buccos that summer ;D).
