I get a chuckle out of Schopp reading that ad copy 😂

He sounds so thrilled while reading it!  Poor guy

The Audacy app is my path into WGR, so I appreciate it overall...but man do I hope the new owners put their foot down on terrible ads. If I hear that "not to loooonnnggg if you think abooouutt iiiiit" zen den drone or the overly frantic "NOT MATTER HOW MUCH DUCT TAPE YOU UUUSSSSEE" kid one more time, I'll drown a puppy.

With the Bills now out of the playoffs, I was discussing with a gearhead friend if this means WGR might go back to being "your racing station in Buffalo."  His contention was that NASCAR (or CASHCAR, as he calls it) asks too much for broadcast rights.  It was a disingenuous statement by WGR anyways, since the NASCAR broadcasts were routinely pre-empted by anything from tiddlywinks tournaments and up.  Audacy's financial picture probably translates into more infomercial programming for gambling.
