Question about 950 AM WPEN

[Julius May]

Should they run ESPN radio 24/7 on 950 expect for local and national play by play?

[DToTheJ]

I say flip it to ESPN Deportes!

[Sam Lit]

All hit polka!

Come on, seriously now.  Nobody cares.  It's one thing to begin a posting with something compelling, but jeez, nobody except one or maybe two people that come to this board, or perhaps folks that work at Greater Media, even care one iota about this.  Terrestrial radio is on its way out anyway, and you're bringing up an AM station?

[Seltzer]

Actually I'll answer. If I were programming these two stations, here's what I'd do.

95.7
Mon-Fri    Local 6A-10P
              Bruno 10p-1p

[Seltzer]

Damn computer...let's try again

97.5

6A-10P     Local
l0p-1A      Bruno
1A-6P       ESPN

Major PBP Only-------any of the 4 if they ever acquire them
                              NFL Football  (incl Playoffs, Suer Bowl)
                              Penn State Football or Notre Dame
                             
Local shows on weekends around Eagles Football   Rest of the weekend ESPN and perhaps one other local show


950

All the ESPN programming, including Mike & Mike
All the brokered shows
College PBP-----Villanova, Rutgers  (I'd dump Rutgers & get Penn State for next season)
All the other ESPN PBP----College Bowl games, all the NCAA Tournament games from Westwood


Sports Talk should be the major focus of 97.5  More PBP on 950

It's a radio board.  If you don't want to talk about radio, why are you here?

You forgot ESPN's MLB Sunday Night games, and postseason games.  Where does that go?  950?  950 except if the Phillies are playing (assuming they don't acquire the local rights)?

Does ESPN Radio offer talk programming 24/7, even when ESPN Radio is also offering play by play?

Also, the NFL package isn't offered by ESPN.  It's offered by Westwood One.  I wonder if there's any chance WIP wants it.  Probably not, or they'd already have it.

Does 950/97.5 take the Sunday afternoon NFL games?  Or just Sunday Night/Monday Night/playoffs?

Standards, Country Classics or Real Oldies, they are the only 3 formats that could bring in revenue, run them cheap and grab a good audiance....Ahf Tsu Loches...
