NBC Sports Radio in Central PA?

J

JeffBair

Starting September 4th, NBC Sports Radio Network will be hitting the airwaves. Of course it's on the same date that the Cumulus Media programmed CBS Sports Radio Network also lauches. WHGB 1400AM is expected to become a member of the CBS Sports Radio Network. Here's my question to everyone... Does 95.3FM also become a CBS member in the deal or is it possible they stay an ESPN Radio Network channel? Also what station in the South Central PA area would be a great fit for the NBC Sports Radio Network?

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts :)
 
Here's my thought on it...

I could see NBC Sports Radio ending up on 1350AM York/1600AM E-Town in a way where they do Yahoo! Sports Radio in the daytime and NBC Sports Radio at night. I know it's a bit of a strech & also I'm not sure that this idea is even legal.

What I wish would happen...

That NBC Sports Radio goes to 910AM in York & move their news talk format to 103.3FM in Lancaster and dump the "WINK" Simulcast Ripoff that's based out of Harrisburg on 104.1FM. If not that, keep News Talk on 910AM & move NBC Sports Radio to 103.3FM. I know this is not likely to happen but it's good to dream.

It was a sad day when they changed the format at WARM-FM 103.3.
 
I thought the CBS sports radio network was going to launch on Jan 2, 2013. anyway, the new NBCsports network would be a great addition to am 1350 in York. what they have now, Yahoo sports, is , in my opinion, second rate. ESPN is still the "gold standard"when it comes to network sports radio but I guess cumulus has it locked up in the cent pa market so WOYK dosn't have a shot at it. sports talk on FM dosn't seem to be doing all that well around the country ,except for maby KDKA-FM in Pittsburgh which is a sports crazy market.

Click to expand...

Still too early for verdicts on sports on FM as it has or is just popping up now in many markets. KDKA-FM is benefiting from the surprising Pirates run..which appears to be coming to an end...
