I thought that was Jay Towers.

IMG Learfield runs the UM radio network. I'm pretty sure they'd insist on a flagship of their own.

Pro sports teams are on the same networks all the time. Why would it be dramatically different for a collegiate team and radio contract?Myron Falwell wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 7:50 pmIMG Learfield runs the UM radio network.

I betcha neither UM or MSU would want to be on the same station where scheduling conflicts and their rivalry game pose an immediate problem right out of the gate.MrTaterSalad wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 11:40 amPro sports teams are on the same networks all the time.

NO THANKS!!!!You can join me in my monthly quest to beg Cumulus (or whoever ends up owning it) to flip 93.1 to sports. They have the Lions and Michigan State broadcasting rights can could get University of Michigan over the next couple of years to add to it.

I would much rather have another sports station than a second station playing bro-country and bubble-gum pop disguised as "country music". There are plenty of fresh faces out there that could be brought in so we don't have the same old people from the past chalking up the same old tired opinions. Though, I would put Balgian on the station as I think he is a solid and well spoken personality.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 6:54 amNO THANKS!!!!You can join me in my monthly quest to beg Cumulus (or whoever ends up owning it) to flip 93.1 to sports.

Most sports radio programming is garbage. Do we need another FM sports station to listen to the same tired opinions? Absolutely not!
Yeah, let's flip 93.1 to Sports so we can hear all the losers 105.1 put on the air + some rejects from 97.1 / 1130 take phone calls from listeners who live in Section 8 housing or mom's basement who pretend to know what the f&ck they are talking about. Great idea!
If 93.1 were to flip to Sports, their current 2.9 share would look terrific compared to the ratings they would generate with a Sports format.
I'd much prefer the station stick with Country. Shitcan the awful national morning show, replace it with local programming, and the station has potential to make an impact. A 2.9 isn't bad at all given how small 93.1's budget is.
