New York Knicks Basketball On WMTR? Are You Kidding Me?

I'm asking you. Who's on first?

That's the man's name.

That's whose name?

Yes.

Go ahead and tell me.

Who?

The guy on first.

Who? The first baseman.

Who is on first.
Is the Beasley deal ending ? I thought the deal was good for next year too Since WEPN 98.7 is going Bye BYE & Beasley Has Fox sports Radio on WCTC 1450 & a few other Sister stations

Maybe Knicks and Rangers games might go back to WEPN’s 1050 AM starting this fall and WMTR might still go all in with the oldies format, and “Doo-Wop Drive”.

Now that the Rangers hockey game is done due to the Rangers lost to the Panthers to go to the Stanley Cup finals, WMTR is officially done with Knicks and Rangers games! YAY!!!! 👍

Time to listen to “Doo-Wop Drive” with Allan David Stein with “Doo-Wop Dream Machine” with Bob Traverio on WRCR and guess what? “A Doo-Wop Double Feature” is back to stay, for now!

Let’s celebrate! 🎊 🎉 🙌
 
Mostly, it is about sales as Paul has said. A Doo Wop show on at night is a really tough sell to advertisers. Sports is several magnitudes easier to sell and actually is a fairly easy sell.


It's a Beasley station and I doubt that they are brokering time. It actually bills quite a bit for an AM. In part, this is due to its huge FM station but also because in smaller markets classic gold can be sold to local direct accounts still.
With The Knicks & Rangers going to 1050am. Will they also be on Beasley Stations In NJ & Fox Sports Radio ?
 
One week after WCBS ended the all-news format after 57 years, ESPN Radio is now on 880 AM as WHSQ (formerly WCBS), and they now have the home of the Knicks and Rangers games on there, and I don’t know if WMTR would continue to carrying Knicks and Rangers games, because of “Doo-Wop Drive” keep pre-empting after “Doo-Wop Dream Machine”, or maybe 880 will have the Knicks and Rangers games on there. 1250AM has a weaker signal where it reaches New York City while 880 has a stronger signal to reach Morristown, NJ. Let’s see how this goes.

The Knicks and Rangers will not be going to 1050AM, they might go over to 880AM which is formerly WCBS, now WHSQ to carry the Knicks and Rangers. I found two links to WMTR and WHSQ (formerly WCBS) signal patterns. For WMTR, you can go to the section and click “View Nighttime Coverage Map”, and for WHSQ (formerly WCBS), click “View Coverage Map”, and you might see the difference.

Radio-locator's coverage maps for stations aren't always accurate
 
The Knicks and Rangers will be on 880. That's already been announced. WMTR will also be an affiliate.
