Yep... like the one with Brad Hoover and the Patriots game ... have heard that one like a thousand times.  

That's nothing and only a few weeks old. It's probably the newest one they have. They have been playing one with Gantt about Roger Goodell since at least Sept/October. Also one about Georgia Tech from the very beginning of the college football Season.

Why would Cam lose endorsements because he walked out of a press conference?

It's pretty silly to even think that would happen.

Media doesnt Like being cock-blocked. This is the outcome they are ultimately hoping for.

Agreed.

Its not going to happen though.

I live in Atl and I stream it because I don't want to hear about Atlanta sports. I get annoyed sometimes with the promos also. What other stations are out there that just do mostly Panthers? If Carolina Huddle and Black and Blue Review got together that would be pretty golden.

The upcoming Huddle radio station will take over the airwaves.

Is this happening? Don't tease me!!

I stream WIP in Philly sometimes. They play the same ads and promos over and over too. So it probably has something to do with CBSRadio not wanting to spend money on streaming ads.

CBS Radio doesn't spend money to play ads. They sell ads.

I think the promos are a streaming thing and not if you listen on radio in your car. The promos are annoying and I have to turn down my iPhone when they play as well as when Progressive plays an ad with Flo. Damn that Flo is freaking annoying. How they think people like her annoying ads is beyond me.

I'm one of those that enjoys listening to WFNZ - although Marc James almost broke me. 

As I have been listening lately, it is nerve wracking to hear station promos (not ads, just clips of their shows) repeating themselves - over and over and over and over and over and over.  Some track back to much earlier in the season.  I get that promos can't be cut daily, but the staleness is getting ridiculous. I keep waiting to hear a clip of the Gettysburg address. i have also heard callers referring to it, the host at the time got ticked and cut them off.  

I don't know the radio business, but it seems like they would do anything to avoid replaying these clips if they had something else to run - like more ads.  I would have assumed that advertisers would have been flocking to them during the championship run, but doesn't seem that way.  This practice of repetition, coupled with them going off the air in my area (I listen via the app now) has me wondering if the are in trouble.

I'm not sharing to get people to trash hosts or guests, just wanted to know if they are going to be with us in the future.  

Oh dear Lord, I'm so sick of the TD interview "old man" and the one about the man dressed as "The Chosen". I can recite both of them verbatim.

Primetime is hands down the best show. Mac is a clown now. Jim is soo old he shits himself in studio (true story). Colin has his head up his ass, now that he has a show. Nate is simply a terrible, petulant human being. Frank is wishy washy. Mark tows the company line.

Extra promos on streaming app makes some sense - at least as to why, but sounds like i'm not the only one they drive crazy..  I've been listening on streaming some / radio some -both have way too many promos - I think I'd take Flo any day (medieval inspector vs Frank's diaper story / Political ad vs. TD and the "old man" ad from some time in the 1970's).I honestly could take a PSA about STD before hearing more promos.  When a caller mentions it, they get real touchy - tells me they'd rather tick off a caller than offer something different that would cause someone to work.  

 

Good tip on 730 - just looked it over and it looks interesting.  Anything would beat the FNZ promo parade - IMO.

The morning show is good, the afternoon show is not.

Again, that's only if you stream it. I have no idea why that is, but it's been like that at least since around 2010 or 2011 when I first started streaming them. They've surely grown their audience online since then, so I have no clue why it's remained like that. The actual radio ads are regular ads.

They can't  use the same advertisers that they use for the radio as a  advertisers online because of broadcasting rules( considered two different types of media) so it's actually a separate  altogether, so if no one wants to buy the online advertisement that's why they're only running promos

LOL. Cam is far more valuable to his sponsors than people think. Who's gonna pull his endorsements? I doubt UA's execs are sitting in a board room saying "man Cam walked out of a press conference because they lost and he heard celebrations and he answered 13 questions. Even though we just dropped the C1N line, let's drop him!" That's dumb LOL.
