You get a cookie.  Jamie, if you even paid attention to the broadcast for about 5 minutes you would have realized it was the Giants pregame, and as much as you listen to K-Rock, you know that it serves as the overflow spill for CBS' sports properties for WFAN.

As it did in its previous incarnation as Free-FM. Just because the format changed, there's still contracts to honor.

  Did you actually read the posts or just skim them?

I expected as much from a top poster.

Sports and talk has no place being on a music station.

If that's the case, than why do sports often command the some of the highest ad rates on a music station?

WFAN has four major sports properties.

The Mets (1), the Giants (2), the Nets, and the Devils.

The Mets supersede everything else.  Then the Giants.  if the Giants or the Mets are playing at the same time the Nets or the Devils are playing, they get shunted to K-Rock.  It's been like this forever.  This is not new or shocking news.  It happened all the time to Ron and Fez when they were on Free.
