    I am glad you got some kind of satisfaction from the whole situation. See, I can be not a complete asshole at times. I warned you people when I came over from BBB.net :)

    I would think it's in 95.5's best interest to correct this situation. I mean, why bother having an internet feed if people can't hear it because someone forgot to turn it on? If their goal is to drive listeners elsewhere, it's working.

    Also, what's with the lack of a "contact us" page on their web site? It's like they go out of their way to avoid getting feedback from their listeners. Wouldn't such feedback help improve their product and help gain marketshare? Which would allow them to charge higher advertising rates. Their total lack of commitment to customer support seems to be the biggest stumbling block to their continued success.

    I agree completely. The Blazer marketing dept. should be all over this. With the blazers getting as good as they are, there has to be a huge market of fans outside the immediate listening area that is not being tapped... for no good reason.

    Funny, there's a huge market of fans INSIDE the immediate area that can't see the games on TV, let alone the post-game shows, for no good reason. Which problem do you think the Blazers' marketing department wants dealt with first? I doubt they care about either.

    That problem is not so easily fixed, the blazers already signed the contract with Comcast. My problem is easily fixed, just throw the damned switch right after the game ends.

    The contact link that Boobs mentioned is also an easy fix, just add the pertinent link to their website.

    Your point is well taken though.

    Yay!!! It only took them 10 minutes after the NY game to turn on the feed. I'm extremely happy!

    More than 20 minutes after the Toronto game.... they finally throw the switch for the internet feed. Wheels is signing off now. I've missed his whole post game show again.

    I've e-mailed Dick Vardanega about the problem and he assured me that he would put Rich Patterson on it. If you wish to e-mail Mr. Vardanega, his e-mail address is dick.vardanega@blazers.com. He appears to be more than willing to help.

    Not clueless... just lazy, because he couldnt figure out how to find the phone #'s and contact info for The Game/Rose City Radio all by himself.

    Graybeard,
    GOOGLE - dont be lazy... use it!

    I know Rich Patterson. I'll shoot him an email and ask him to help you guys out.
