Question about 950 AM WPEN

[Jul]

Should they run ESPN radio 24/7 on 950 expect for local and national play by play?

 

[DToTheJ]

I say flip it to ESPN Deportes!

 

[qtpieislit]

All hit polka!

 

[bsquared11]

Come on, seriously now. Nobody cares. It's one thing to begin a posting with something compelling, but jeez, nobody except one or maybe two people that come to this board, or perhaps folks that work at Greater Media, even care one iota about this. Terrestrial radio is on its way out anyway, and you're bringing up an AM station?

 

[Seltzer]

Actually I'll answer. If I were programming these two stations, here's what I'd do.

95.7
Mon-Fri Local 6A-10P
Bruno 10p-1p

 

[Seltzer]

Damn computer...let's try again

97.5

6A-10P Local
l0p-1A Bruno
1A-6P ESPN

Major PBP Only-------any of the 4 if they ever acquire them
NFL Football (incl Playoffs, Suer Bowl)
Penn State Football or Notre Dame

Local shows on weekends around Eagles Football Rest of the weekend ESPN and perhaps one other local show


950

All the ESPN programming, including Mike & Mike
All the brokered shows
College PBP-----Villanova, Rutgers (I'd dump Rutgers & get Penn State for next season)
All the other ESPN PBP----College Bowl games, all the NCAA Tournament games from Westwood


Sports Talk should be the major focus of 97.5 More PBP on 950

It's a radio board. If you don't want to talk about radio, why are you here?

You forgot ESPN's MLB Sunday Night games, and postseason games. Where does that go? 950? 950 except if the Phillies are playing (assuming they don't acquire the local rights)?

Does ESPN Radio offer talk programming 24/7, even when ESPN Radio is also offering play by play?

Also, the NFL package isn't offered by ESPN. It's offered by Westwood One. I wonder if there's any chance WIP wants it. Probably not, or they'd already have it.

Does 950/97.5 take the Sunday afternoon NFL games? Or just Sunday Night/Monday Night/playoffs?

Standards, Country Classics or Real Oldies, they are the only 3 formats that could bring in revenue, run them cheap and grab a good audiance....Ahf Tsu Loches...

 

[DToTheJ]

Ahf Tsu Loches...

Not sure what this means, but backwards it reads: "S Echo Lust F? Ha!"

 

[oasisrulz]

It means, "As fate would have it" in Yiddish, where is Sam when you need him LOL...

 

[qtpieislit]

I'm busy kvetching.

 

[oasisrulz]

You don't seem like a complainer to me, you are more of a Maven then a Kvetch...
oy veh is mir...that is all the Yiddish lessons for today people..now back to radio LOL....

It's a radio board. If you don't want to talk about radio, why are you here?

To have intelligent conversations about audio entertainment, not trivial what if scenarios about an AM radio station owned by a company that doesn't have a clue, and to help people understand that terrestrial radio is dead and the importance of audio entertainment moving into the digital age and away from transmitters and towers. That's part of why I'm here.

This is why we have threads with subject lines. So you can not click on the ones you don't want to read.

 

[Seltzer]

How could I forget baseball? I'd run the Sunday night game, night time playoff games, and all the World Series on 97.5. Of course, any daytime playoff game involving the Phils I'd run on 97.5. The rest of the playoffs would be run on 950 only.

Just don't want to bump Mikey M too often.

WIP used to carry Sunday night and Monday night games. PEN has had them for a few years now.

 

[Seltzer]

ESPN does offer sports talk 24/7, even when games are being carried.

Terrestrial radio is on its way out anyway...

Wrong....radio is listened to more now than ever before:

Radio listening is alive and well, and should be for decades to come.

I've got some swamp land on City Line ave for sale real cheap. Comes with it's own parking lot. Great for building sky scrappers. + Tax abatements.
