WGR is Mailing it in. Every morning there excuse for not talking about sports is the Bills or the Sabers are not playing. It just doesn't stand up. I am surprised that these guys advitise that they are a sports station and then talk about politics. I am surprise that they think they have a right to be a sports station and feel they have a right to influence our political system just because they are on the air.
They are very dissapointing to me and every morning I listen and wind up turning them off because they are not putting the effort into making their station and morning show one of the best in the country. The lack of pride in their jobs shows.
If you are going to use a sports station to talk about local, state and federal politics then at least be honest about it.
Beleive me if ESPN did this, ( and they do at times) I would feel the same way. The excuse that people are not interested in anything but the Bills and the Sabers is a cop out.
It is your job to make them interested. Local sports, High School games, college games, Men and Woman sports on all levels should be talked about. Make segments on different things every day of the week so word of mouth gets around and you would be surprise what would happen. Don't make these segments the whole show, I turn on the station at certain times to hear certain people and would leave the station on if a follow up segment was going to have some value.
We are not interested in your personal lives or personal politics we are interested in sports.
Now that you have a Monopoly you have a new responsibility to do what you advitise. SPORTS ,SPORTS, SPORTS !!!!!
