Is the Braves broadcast doing better on CC?

T

tlyle

Since the Braves moved to the CC stations, are its ratings any better than when it aired on WSB. How does it breakdown in pre-game, game, and post-game compared to last year when it aired on WSB? Do you miss pre-game with Skip, Don, Joe, and Pete? What are your thoughts? Have the Braves lost any audience now that the signals are not as good.

Looking for comments.

I think the Brave imaging is great on 96 Rock. I see TV ads for the Braves on 96 Rock but never WGST, I wonder why?
 
I think its a win-win thing

I brought this up a few weeks ago.

I believe the Braves are getting more bang for their buck with GST and the cross over audience to the FM side of things works out very well for them.

The way that GST has branded the station with everything Braves has to be making their officials giddy with glee.

Sure there is a drop off in overall signal strength (at night obviously) between WSB and GST but I believe that the Braves will take the hit on the AM side of things only to be comforted by a 100KW FM station that more than picks up the slack.

The one thing that does have its draw back is in being able to listen in the car and going a good distance away from the city.

Last week I was traveling at night down by Valdosta and couldn't get the AM nor FM signal and had to rely on a network affiliate that kept going in and out.

But even with those kind of problems encountered by fans from time to time I would say that the partnership between the Braves and GST has worked out well for both parties.

From the local standpoint, they are probably better off. But here in South Carolina, the Braves are on tiny AM stations with virtually non-existant night signals. We relied on WSB to be able to hear the Braves at night. In my travels around the south, I could always count on being able to hear the Braves on that huge 750 signal. I understand all the money is Atlanta money. But it used to be about more than that.
 
I like the Braves on 96 ROCK! But HATE the post show. It horrible!<P ID="signature">______________

Only if you live IN ATLANTA.

Big deal. I can't hear them.

A drop off from listenable to NOTHING.

And there are a LOT of Braves followers THAT DON'T LIVE IN ATLANTA!!

Too bad so sad, I have to deal with that NIGHTLY.

Time will tell. My take will be no. I listen on WCOS 1400 ( when they DECIDE to actually carryh the games that is ) and I am 7 miles from the transmitter site. At night it's a pain to actually hear the game from all the interference. Now if FM behaved normally and there were no band openings, I could listen on WPUB-FM in Camden, SC some 30 miles away, but there's always some enhancement later on in the evening and Aiken SC 45 miles the other side blots out WPUB-FM.
