Kirby Jackson Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Another example of the Bills being ahead of the curve. They are really, really strong on the business side.

BuffaloBill Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 The Bills have been very astute in building their brand and leveraging a very loyal fan base. The NFL on the other hand could give a **** about this as their focus is on corporate money.
Rubes Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 does anybody know if out of state fans will be able to access MSG WNY content through the MSG iPad/tablet app? I would like to know this as well...
CodeMonkey Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) The Bills have been very astute in building their brand and leveraging a very loyal fan base. The NFL on the other hand could give a **** about this as their focus is on corporate money. Except for the fact that how you maintain high levels of corporate income over a long period of time is by building very loyal fan bases across the league. Once you have that base, expansion outside of north america becomes at least feasible. does anybody know if out of state fans will be able to access MSG WNY content through the MSG iPad/tablet app? I would like to know this as well... I know that due to frequent conflicts with the other NY teams, the Sabres had their own channel here in Rochester (and I assume Buffalo) where the Sabres games were broadcast which would be a regional only channel on cable. However streaming opens the door for them to fairly easily (from a technology standpoint anyway) make it available that way. I would suggest contacting MSG about it. If enough people request it, you never know. But if they don't think there is a market for it they won't do it. Edited July 3, 2016 by CodeMonkey
PromoTheRobot Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 I'd be willing to bet that MSG-WNY will be a regional channel available on DirecTV.
Mike in Horseheads Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 I'd be willing to bet that MSG-WNY will be a regional channel available on DirecTV. I would think so too if you buy the sports package. But I'd guess the Sabres would be blacked out unless you buy Center Ice. I had the sports pack and got MASN and MASN2 for Orioles info but games are blacked out.We got the Sabres before in the Central Southern Tier on MSG+ so it better continue. Of course we are so perfectly placed we get the Sabres, Rangers, Devils, Islanders, Nets, Knicks, Yankees, Mets and for some reason the Indians.as our local sports on DTV. Drive 20 miles into PA and you get the Pirates and Penguins but lose a lot of the NY teams.

Mr. WEO Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 So...televised Rex Ryan and Murphy radio shows and some game replays?
bbb Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 What can be more exciting than watching The John Murphy Show?
PromoTheRobot Posted July 5, 2016 Author Posted July 5, 2016 What can be more exciting than watching The John Murphy Show?You laugh at JM but if they ever tried to upgrade from him imagine the howls of protest. WNYers don't accept change willingly.

I don't think I'm laughing at Murph. I'm laughing at how boring and "state radio" this show is.........Anybody else is going to be more of the same.

I'm laughing at how boring and "state radio" this show is.........Anybody else is going to be more of the same. I'm agreeing. Murph is painful to listen to sometimes. His PBP is better but not great. I'm just saying tradition keeps him in place.
