I actually try to go out get stuff done on Saturdays so I appreciate being able to check in on the game when it’s on the radio.
We can listen to carton’s anti gambling show Saturday morning to put us in the mood to lay some coin on the knights !
I didn't miss that point at all. I listen all the time and yes, they WILL have to promote us. I just felt it was a great time to put down Syracuse fans who like to live in the past, as if they will be rolling out Jim Brown and Ernie Davis.
Your comment makes no sense. WCBS News Radio 880 is certainly the most eminent news station in the tristate area and the reception is great, even in Philadelphia. For the rest, mostly the reception and promotion matter.
We could've just had these two posts and locked the thread, lol. Not only no downside, but significant upside. It's mind boggling that people are whining about this. Well done Mr. Hobbs et al.
More eyeballs? On radio? Maybe eardrums. Lol
Seriously, I get your point! More exposure and promotion. All really good stuff for all of us.
Will say going to miss the local coverage on WCTC on game days.
Listening to the Tailgate show while Tailgating in the Yellow Lot.
Post game player interviews, etc. all be gone.
We will however broaden our reach in the biggest Media market in the Country. B1G take note.

The "On The Banks" article said WCTC would still carry the games. Is there more updated information out there about this?
WCTC started carrying Rutgers football games in 1947. This fall will be their 75th year of broadcasting Rutgers football.
Hope so. Tonight, I tried to listen to the Mets/Phillies game on WCBS on the Audacy App while in Sedona, AZ. Got a message that because of broadcast rights and being out of the area, the game could not be broadcast in my listening area. That blows. I don't recall this happening on TuneIn Radio. I tried to load WCBS on TuneIn, and it appears Audacy may have exclusive rights with WCBS. Maybe this was unique to a MLB game, and hopefully RU fans outside of the NYC/Northeast will be able to listen to the games (if they are not in front of a TV to watch).
Try MLB App. You have to pay for out of market games but I think the radio feeds are free.
Maybe, but I don't think so. Hopefully, audio of the games will be available on the Scarlet Knights app, which I believe it will be.
MLB broadcast rules are different than college football. You’ll be able to listen to RU.
I like to listen to the call of the game when at the home games . As long as there is not a delay, that drives me crazy

I do the same with a small portable radio. The signal should be stronger with WFAN.
I can't figure out those that think this is a negative in any way.
Here's the St. John's Play by Play Announcer and broadcasting professional David J. Halberstam on the deal.

The Johnnies, meanwhile, are on one of two lightbulbs, stations that you can hardly hear over the edges of New Jersey. I can’t tell you how hard Jack worked and urged me to persist. We landed WCBS for St. John’s in 1984. In 1991, we moved the games to WFAN.
The Knights were on WOR, a strong signal and a rich heritage of well known personalities. But not a listener under the age of 65. When Rutgers to its credit snared an association with two huge personality, news and sports driven stations, it threw everything but the kitchen sink at the stations to close the deal. How SJU lost WFAN is mindboggling? The Big Ten beat the Big East in its backyard. This deal was for St. John’s to lose and like many things recently the Redstorm failed. Sad.

Big hit for Rutgers in a big place like NYC: Football on WFAN, Hoops on WCBS; SJU’s Jack Kaiser dies
So it’s ironic, the day that Kaiser sadly passed at 95, a name always interchangeable with St. John’s Athletics, Rutgers, completed a deal with co-owned WCBS and WFAN for its basketball and football.The Johnnies, meanwhile, are on one of two lightbulbs, stations that you can hardly hear over the edges of New Jersey.

Yes according to the On The Banks article, WCTC will continue as before. This deal simply replaces the WOR deal.
That would also seem to indicate that other stations carrying our games in South Jersey / Philly, will also continue.
As far as the Audacity app, I'm guessing that the ScarletKnights app will continue to have the game audio from Learfield/IMG.

While it’s an easy ride for many of us and it’s a nice facility, I’d push for a 2-1 if they want to continue this.
G-5 or less, we don’t wear white.
