Kinda throws a wrench in that "Braves Radio" GST positioning, doesn't it?
 
Clear Channel has several more years remaining on their contract.

Will 99x after it is purchase by Cumulus become the FM home of the Braves if the Dickeys buy the team?

Dickey's aren't big fans of sports programming on their FM's. IMHO that's narrow minded, but they own them, not me.<P ID="signature">______________

You'd think Clear Channel would love to have that contract bought out, they have to be losing money. Only an idiot like Jerry Del Corpse could turn the Braves into a net loser in ratings and revenue.
 
I don't work in radio, sure don't love Clear Channel. So I am not sure what this "Clear Channel Chest" you are talking about. I wish the Braves were still on WSB.

The Braves sound awseome on 96rock. I don't see how anyone can dispute that.

The Braves sound awesome on 96rock in ATLANTA. But people across the country can no longer hear the games at night.

Sorry, but I do live in Atlanta, so that's were my opinion comes from. The Braves Radio Network most likely covers the entire southeast, so what's the problem? (www.bravesradio.net). You can't expect the Braves to choose WSB just because their signal may skip at night and go beyond the southeast. When WSB had the Braves, they of course also had a radio network because they knew that their signal may be heard in one area at night, but the next night it may not, depending on conditions. In any case, if Dickey does get the Braves, we'll have the same problem at night, so get used to it.

I agree, I'm sure the Braves sound awesome on 96rock. But my local Braves station fades out at sunset; so WSB was great for listening to the Braves announcers when they weren’t on TV (post-season especially), the post-game show, or during rain delays.

And for many without cable, it was their only choice.
