    Well, the game has been over for 30 minutes now and the Game radio station still haven't turned on their internet feed. For the last half hour I've been listening to nonstop fast talking loud mouthed advertisements. It's driving me crazy.

    Okay, someone finally threw the switch...45 minutes after the game was over. Wheels is signing off now. I've missed the whole post game show. Fucking assholes. It wouldn't be so bad if this was an occasional oversight, but it happens all the time. Ya, I'm pissed.

    You can't listen to internet feeds during games.

    I know that. I'm talking about after the game is over. They forget to turn on the internet feed. So you have to listen to the nonstop advertising that they play during the game. Am I the only one that listens to the internet feed for the post game and 5th quarter?

    Why don't you call the station and complain? Complaining here accomplishes nothing.

    Great idea, except they don't post their phone number on their website. Do you have their phone number?

    Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

    They must know they suck, because they make it impossible to contact them. I wanted to complain about the extremely rude way the "MSP Boyz" treat their callers AND their guests. So, I went to their web page to find the "Contact Us" page - that EVERY business has on their web site. Couldn't find one. Either they don't have one, or they go out of their way to hide it. Guess they aren't interested in what their audience has to say. Oh well, I stopped listening to their station in the morning. Maybe if enough people do the same they'll eventually get the message. I think it would be better for the station to solicit comments and correct the problems BEFORE losing listeners. Obviously, they feel it's better to hide from their listeners, bury their heads in the sand and pretend everything is great because they never get any complaints.

    The Fan sucks, now everybody is complaining about the game. We finally have a radio station that gives a great deal of time discussing the in's and out's of the team and some of you still aren't happy. Get over it, anything to complain about I guess:dunno:

    Go listen to 45 minutes of their nonstop canned advertising then come back and we'll talk about it, until then, you're just talking out your ass.

    Umm... we have radios and live in Portland. The only suckers who get the 45 extra minutes of advertising are non-locals who are too cheap to buy Sirius-XM for their NBA Audio Package (or unwilling or not technologically savvy enough to find out where to watch/listen for free).

    Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

    Thanks for the neener neener and bonehead comments. 95.5 The Game supposedly puts their feeds on the internet for us to listen to. By forgetting to throw the switch for their feed is just sloppy and incompetence on their part.

    Hmmm, are you the same Chris in pdx that works for 95.5 The Game? Possibly the one that is responsible for throwing the switch for the internet feeds?

    Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

    The Detroit game has been over for over 45 minutes now. I sure wish I could listen to Wheels postgame show. Instead I'm listening to their canned advertising. My hope now is that the dolt that is supposed to turn on the internet feed will throw it in time for me to catch some of the 5th Quarter show.

    Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

    Okay, 1 hour and 3 minutes after the game is over, they finally turn on the internet feed. At least I can listen to some of the 5th Quarter. If I can get Wheels email address, I'm going to email him the link to this thread. Maybe he can kick some ass down there. There is a whole trailblazer market out there outside the radio listening area that is being denied his postgame show because some idiot keeps forgetting to throw the switch. I don't think the blazer brass is going to be pleased with this. Someone should be fired, this has been going on all season.
