BIG Mistake at 850The Buzz

Just read this over on WRAL.com. You know The Fan is licking their chops to jump all over this one. What a huge mistake! This caused national attention and Coach Williams to get pretty ticked at Coack K. You have to believe those two schools will be rethinking their call-ins and interviews with The Buzz. I love Adam Gold's comment that it was, "an honest mistake." Really? Sounds like they reported an outright lie. I have a feeling The Fan will become your "reliable" source for everything ACC. I like The Fan better anyhow.

If the fan is "going to become your reliable radio source" they better teach the afternoon guy that the university he calls EX-a-vier is pronounced as two syllables, not three and that they are not members of the Big East. I heard that yesterday. They might also tell the morning guy the conservative magazine is called "The New Republic," not "The New RepubliCAN." Maybe if anyone called...ever...it might take some pressure off those dopes to not talk and talk and talk ad nauseum. Ridiculous.
 
You know what they say -- there is no bad press! Get the call letters and dial position in the media, might just get a new listener looking for the next big boo boo!
 
Somehow, I think this "bad press" will stay bad press. Also, ya think the afternoon/morning guys you're referring to could be trying to be "funny!?" I don't see how anything good can come of this. Why would you choose a station that goes with a complete misleading situation for this long? I've personally lost a lot of respect for 850 and their programming dept. How long did they know this was a mistake?
 
Sounds like RadioGuy is on the Goodmon payroll. Get over it. The Buzz has done a solid job over the years. Their advertisers love them and so do most of their listeners. They f----d up for sure. But once every decade isn't bad. Give them a break.
 
If you were to listen to The Fan about 7 am yesterday, they were licking their chops and tearing into the story.
Of course, the source was close by.
Nobody was calling to join them in the carnage, though, radioguy, where were ya man?
It's a typical non-story that's just bent out of shape by having to fill up too much air time in our town.
The Buzz is still good, they'll "recover."
 
It would actually help if you guys here would get the story right, and even more so if the guys at the fan would get it right. They are the ones who look stupid, and frankly better be careful in terms of slander. Roy Williams made his comments before 850 the buzz reported anything. His show was on monday night. The buzz reported his comments the next day after hearing the show. According to the N&O, they even went as far as to seek a transcript of Coach K's comments before airing the story. They were provided a transcript from what they refer to as an "inside source" over at Duke. I commend them for not giving up their inside source at this point as they have been taking some heat for someone else's error. Regardless, Roy made his comments after getting his panties in a wad on his radio show when asked a question by Woody, not in response to anything that 850 the buzz said or reported. I am sure the fan will have fun with it instead of actually researching the facts of the story. Figures.
 
Roy Williams whines and cries at every little thing that happens. Remember a couple of weeks ago when UNC played Nicholls State? Roy was whining about how late the game started (9:00 pm) He was also whining that "His team should have blown them away". (they won by 10 points). I do not respect or expect that kind of a response out of a College Coach or Player. Roy Williams = BMW...Bitch, Moan, Whine :'(

Roy may be a great Coach, but in the "class" department, he cannot even hold a candle to Dean Smith.

Get your facts straight. The game wasn't played two weeks ago. It was played two and a half months ago or 21 games ago. The date was 12/19/07.
 
99.9 has already had two formats in it's short life. It has the potential to be a good sports talker, however, not with the current staff. Goodmon has lots of money to throw around and ususlly throws it in the wrong places. Grow up Jim, hire some people who know what they are doing. ( hint: in order to do that , you will have to go outside your organization).

Second tip: never purchase a station lower than a class C or C1 in a market staurated with C's
