Radio Waves

I enjoy listening to Kevin. That is probably because he is an Astros and Saints fan as I am. Now I agree his passion (negatively and positively) overruns his logic at times. In the last couple of years he has also increased his discussion of the Cajuns substantially. He tends to focus on the actual play and says little about the off the field issues when it comes to the Cajuns. Some prefer that approach. I do find his warnings of things like medicine seasons and scoring too many runs amusing.

Kevin Foote says things for reactions. I'm now convinced of that. The guy said Griffey Jr was not a first ballot HOF because he had injured seasons. Clown show.

There does seem to be a lot more that waste a lot of time talking about themselves. In another market i heard a guy talk for ten minutes about daughters softball tourney, after the break they talked for 15 minutes debating whether partner should get a hotel or drive back and forth to the following weekends tourney, then took calls with hotel requests

Lol!! When I use to be on the road a lot, I had XM. I haven't had much experience with locals. I defer to you! 😉

I really enjoy the College Sports channel. Much better than any of the ESPN shows in my opinion and way less commercials/ads. Plus they have Hud on quite a bit.

I'm sure he's a nice guy, just can't stand listening to him talk sports.

Someone like Bitter, on the other hand, is bad radio and a jackass.

Bitter repeats himself too much. He repeats him self too much.

"I certainly want to thank...."

Pass.

WWL has 50000 Watts, not 10000. Big station in St. Louis is KMOX which is on 1130. Lots of Cardinal fans due to that station. Another strong station is WOAI in San Antonio which is the Spurs flagship. . Their radio guy is outstanding. Can catch that one easily in Florida at night

I've heard WWL in Chicago at night. Really weird hearing Bobby Hebert up there.

FYI, here is a list of all the 50k AM radio stations in the US.

In its day, WWL had a radio program called the Charlie Dougles Road Gang which catered to the trucking industries late night drivers and accepted call in requests. You'd hear calls from all over the country, and if I'm not mistaken, had a coverage area over most of the continental US.

Additionally, I thought the local AM's at one time had the option to reduce power or go directional?

Yep. I've been able to pick up WWL in Kansas and Colorado at night as well

Pass.

Biggest tune out factor in all of radio is when Bitter says, "let me thank my fine sponsors".

I'm glad you guys had this convo. I spent a lot of time in northern Colorado / Southern Wyoming and it sounded like I was catching WWL. Thought either my truck had the best antenna ever made or I was losing my mind!
