I guess Louisiana is the “and much more”

ESPN "Lafayette" KNOWS how far their signal reaches.

I hope Learfield awards broadcasts to someone with a stronger signal next round.

I tried to listen to ESPN "Lafayette" the other morning. It's really bad. The host they have in the mornings, dude is trying and working hard, but just can't listen.

I just default to Big Al on KBON or IPA on 96.5.

Terrestrial radio is experiencing a slow death. Signal strength has nothing to do with who listens. It's all going to be on apps. There was a push for high def radio a while back. That died a quick death when pod casts and online apps took over.

Go try to buy a clock radio with an alarm. They may be out there but they are few and far between. If you like the one you got you better keep it.

The person or persons in charge of their marketing are still thinking terestial or they would have come up with a more encompassing name.

Since ESPN radio went on the air, the majority of the affiliates have used ESPN with the market designation. ESPN 1420 refused to do it at the time and ESPN Radio wasn't happy about it. But they couldn't do anything about it.

With the rebranding, they are only doing what most of the other stations in America are doing. You shouldn't read anything into it.

Dont even care about signal strength. ESPN "Lafayette" had me at "tune in as we discuss all things LSU"

I guess I'm more familiar with "The Buzz, The Zone, Sports talk.

I know the FCC requires a top of the hour tower location, or at least they used to.

For area ESPN stations I read about ESPN Lehigh VALLEY, which made me think ESPN Acadiana or ESPN Louisiana would have had more potential for market share.

Can’t be any worse than the morning show on 103.7. I tried listening this morning but after about 15 minutes I had to turn it off. The new producer for RP3’s show is terrible and brings absolutely nothing to the table.

On another note I actually enjoy Scott Prather’s show. Was good to hear Dr. Maggard on there this morning hyping up the game for tomorrow

Local sports radio sucks these days. Had to stop listening. It's a shame

[TammanyCajun]

I have been vocal about this in previous posts. I listen to Scott, Foote, and Bandit on Sundays. Local radio in this area, during a time when UL needs coverage more than ever, is simply falling short. The "flagship" of UL athletics is down to very little local programming, which means even less UL coverage. I hope Learfield takes Townsquare to task and is methodical in their search for the next "flagship" after the current deal expires in 2023.
