710am has a stronger signal than 660am in NWNJ, at least for me.
Lets take 5 minutes and actually see before making uninformed random comments:
Sat 9/3 Noon: Mets 7:15 Yankees 6:10
Sat 9/10 4pm: Mets 6:10 Yankees 1:05
Sat 9/17 TBA: Mets 7:10 Yankees 7:10
Sat 9/24 TBA: Mets 4:07 Yankees 1:05
Sat 10/1 3:30: Mets 7:20 Yankees 1:05pm
Fri 10/7 7pm:
Sat 10/22 Noon:
Sat 10/29 TBA:
Sat 11/5 TBA:
Sat 11/12 TBA:
Sat 11/19 TBA:
Sat 11/26 TBA:
So there are only 5 games that overlap with regular season baseball.
Of those, 9/3 is no conflict, 9/10 is maybe, 9/17 is unlikely, 9/24 is maybe unless Iowa is a night game and 10/1 is likely a conflict.
But sure....."always get moved"
As for the massive "driving during an away game" crowd we have:
9/3 @ BC is no conflict
9/17 @ Temple is likely no conflict (can't see how that would be a night game)
10/1 @OSU is likely a conflict but why would you be driving during that game?

Are you sure you don’t mean WCTC?
WOR is 50,000 watts and I have been able to pick the game up past Baltimore and deep into the Lehigh Valley (mountains) when traveling to my Sons college hockey games.
I don't know if this was posted before but Carlin now has a national radio show on ESPN radio.

Rutgers announcer, ex-WFAN host Chris Carlin teams up with former Giants star for new national radio show
Chris Carlin will call the Rutgers Scarlet-White Game with Eric LeGrand and Krystle Rich on Friday, April 22 at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, N.J.
We have a deal with the most ICONIC sports radio station in the world…and yet people still complain.
MIND-BOGGLING!!!
MIND-BOGGLING!!!
I think it’s great.
But I also think asking about some possible scheduling conflicts is not complaining.
saying TERRIBLE. Saying we’re gonna get bumped isn’t asking questions
This. WOR is stronger in reality then WFAN. I can get WOR very strong in Philadelphia. I can get WFAN along the Delaware but not in the city. WCBS can't get anywhere.
People can’t find the games on BTN overflow channels they won’t find the games when they are punted to another radio station
660 and 101.9. That’s the only two numbers you’re gonna have to know
Well as others have said, that shouldn’t be an issue if we get to stay on 660am instead of being pushed 101.9fm.
Maybe it’s just me but the cache of “660” sounds better than “101.9” for broadcast.
It’s like having a “212” instead of a “718” or some of the other ones.
They are both 500watt stations, the strongest signal allowed by the FCC.
it won’t be an issue, yet there’s people complaining how hard games are gonna be to find.
Like I said…MIND BOGGLING!
Rutgers football games to air on WFAN, men’s basketball on WCBS
A significant deal was announced for the two premier programs within Rutgers athletics.
www.onthebanks.com
Rutgers football, basketball to air on WFAN as part of new radio partnership
Rutgers and Audacy, the parent company of WFAN, announced a new partnership, putting the Scarlet Knights on the same airwaves as the New York Yankees and icons in sports talk radio.
What about it?
So you are worried about:
1. Yankees making the playoffs
2. Having a game on Fri 10/7, Sat 10/22 and/or Sat. 10/29
3. And those games happens to be at the exact same time as the Rutgers football game.
Know what - your right. Fire Hobbs and sink this deal.
That's just not a risk we can take at this point.
Same thing with Wawa as far as quality of food other than Smoothies and other than the new Wawas in Florida.
Also, 🤦🏻♂️
Guys - there is no downside to this. None.
Fantastic job by RU here.

I read the Rutgers press release. Unless I missed it, I don’t see anything about games only being on those stations. Maybe games will continue to be on 93.5 FM, 97.3 FM, and 1450 AM. I know 1450 is a signal that is like a high school station signal, but the two FM signals go pretty far. 93.5 goes to the Monmouth/Ocean border in Howell/Jackson and 97.3 reaches A LOT of South Jersey.
The pro conflict thing isn't new. Over the years, RU games have occasionally been bumped from WOR when they conflicted with their pro sports.
The FAN connection is terrific for RU and WCBS has a long history of broadcasting major sports. I suspect there would have been more conflicts with the Brooklyn Nets on the FAN, so the placement on WCBS makes sense for basketball (they're both Audacy properties). This is nothing but positive!!

For those wondering , Audacy has a boatload of stations in the Burlington/ Philadelphia area. One carries Temple and one State Penn. The others are open for the picking —
