Sports on Bing. area Radio

[81-92bingradioalum]

I was in the area Sunday, 10/15, and searched the dial for games.

I'm curious. WAAL carries the Giants. It sounds like they use a phone line connection. Isn't the point of FM to be clear? WBCN in Boston tried the Patriots on FM in 1995, and it sounds great, even now. WAAL missed the boat on this one.

WNBF carries the Bills. The audio quality was very clear—much better than what the Giants had on the Whale.

I've been listening to webcasts of B-Sens game this year. They're awesome.

Backing up a bit to the B-Mets broadcasts. I enjoy them on WNBF and on the webcast. It too sounds like a phone connection, both home and away. Too bad they can't use a marti unit from NYSEG Stadium. B-U basketball sounds great on webcasts and on 1290.

I get to a few games a year in the Binghamton area, and still enjoy following the teams when I can listen. I'm glad they're available.

Speaking of sports, Fybush's North East Radio Watch reports that WYOS 1360 is switching from prog. talk
to ESPN today.

The Bills' cast on WNBF is the feed from the Bills radio network and is excellent.

Was the WYOS switch done to combat WENE's Fox Sports? What bugs me about YOS is the recorded "news" and "traffic" report. Even in the afternoon, the "news" short on YOS is stating, "this morning."

It has always bothered me how stations here do "follow the leader." This entire area appears to be "land-locked" in their own little broadcasting world.

Not a fan of Satellite, I an thankful for early mornings when KDKA or BZ or WHAM comes in strong.
