OT: Official Sports Media Thread VIII - Milbury out as NBC hockey analyst after 14 years

[McGarnagle]

That’s probably why he said “assuming his off air persona is the same”.

Yeah, I was gonna be like "I said if...".

My bad.

 

[McGarnagle]

My bad.

It's all good homegirl

Just glad he’s getting the help he needs. It will be interesting to see what Beasley does in terms of discipline.

Now that sports are back, I’ll likely listen a lot more live versus via podcast.

Mike Francesa says he is leaving WFAN on Friday, and it sounds like this exit will stick

His 2018 return must have really hurt the station in the long run.

How is Boston Sports Radio struggling exactly?

Listeners are down 40%

 

[EvilDead]

Listeners are down 40%

But that's radio in general. Radio as a medium is down just like television.

Tanguay and Abby Chin are gone. Trenni, Tomase, Curran and Phil Perry are all safe. For now.

I know they do different things, but it's hard to believe we live in a world where someone would rather keep Tomase and Trenni over Abby Chin.

Tomase was on the air last night, and somehow he was sitting somewhere at home where his big fat head took up the whole freaking' screen! Right before bed too, nightmare fuel.

After the bullshit that load of human garbage printed about the Pats and the absolute lies, I honestly have no clue why he still has a job around here. f*** him and his triple chin right in his stupid face.

I know they do different things, but it's hard to believe we live in a world where someone would rather keep Tomase and Trenni over Abby Chin.

I liked Blakely a lot too.

The only reason I can see Tomase and Curran being kept over a few others, is because the Sox and Patriots pull in much better ratings and in turn maybe they figure there's more thirst for news on those teams? Just guessing.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

The fact that they kept Trenni and Tomase over Abby and A Sherrod Blakely tells you all you need to know.

I know they do different things, but it's hard to believe we live in a world where someone would rather keep Tomase and Trenni over Abby Chin.

Trenni talent wise vs Abby Chin is like comparing prime rib to beef jerky

 

[DKH]

I feel bad for all these people especially Tanguay

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Maine Radio struggling as well....

Gleason Radio Group collapsed after 45 years in March, about 2 weeks into the Pandemic, and most of the stations went silent as of the 25th of March; Bennett Radio Group has cleared all hurdles to restart the stations out of L-A/Norway and Rumford/Mexico...

hopefully within this current month those station will resume broadcasting

 

[Gopher13]

Anyone touch on the Matt Porter/Chmura fiasco?

 

[Nothingbutglass]

FWIW, Beetle mentioned it had nothing to do with talent or value and strictly about whose contracts are up and how much money can be saved. Its a corporate cost cut from above. Locally, it doesn't make sense to cut Bruins/Celtics staff right before the playoffs.
