At least twice in the last seven days. How do they explain this to advertisers? Why can't they get this corrected?

If I'm going through that trouble I'm not listening to local radio.

It really is sad. The station only comes through if the sun is above 32 degrees in the sky.

The signal is atrocious. Guaranty should be embarrassed. Isn't it Rule 1 of owning a radio station that people in your broadcast area should be able to listen to a broadcast on the radio?

This. This. This.

I lose signal as soon as I pass Walker, on a good day.

No, it's the BR ESPN affiliate.

The only reason I switch from Sirius is for the local flavor, but I'll have to stay on Sirius and listen to Rome or that horrible Rocillo show. He's better then dead air, just slightly, but better.

If they would fix the damn signal 104.5 would be the only station I listen to. Hell, during football season I listen to the Jaguar Journal. On the weekends I even listen to that awful awful show with those two chicks.

I don't understand how anyone doesn't have satellite radio.

Terrestrial radio has been dog shite for 20 years with all the commercials and needless bs

Ryen Russillo was dropping Blue Bayou references today and wrapped up his show by saying "Blue Bayou.. Go see em. Tell them Russillo sent you."

What? Download the ESPN Radio app on your phone and listen to any local ESPN radio station as well as the national broadcast. It's not that hard.

Isn't the signal issue because they aren't allowed to broadcast a stronger one in that area due to the sheer number of stations they own?

The talk channels and 98.1 are generating too much ad revenue at this point to break their signal strength stronghold if that's the case.

Here down the bayou our ESPN works like a champ. Maybe it helps living 5 miles from the tower... TBD



I use the app for podcasting though
