    I'd rather they put Rice back on radio, team Thompson with Barrett and move Antonio to post-game duties.

    Or keep Rice with Barrett, and team Thompson with Wheels.

    They were great together.

    MT without Kermit is a fucking car crash no matter who they put him with.

    The old show was great because Kermit told him what an idiot he was every 5 minutes.

    You'll all get to hear how shit he is without KW.

    He's on down here everyday.

    So what would it take to get Kermit to come out of wherever he is to try to recreate the magic with Mychal?

    According to Wikipedia, Washington currently lives in the Washington, DC area, where he is employed as a regional representative of the National Basketball Players Association

    On KXL going to FM "you can hear the FM inside of buildings, inside of tunnels. The clarity is just tremendous" Brian Jennings

    followed by

    The flip side having the Game going to AM means "that Duck fans will be able to listen to the game coverage on the road on the way to Eugene for those games"

    Some reporter on KGW.

    Those two statements pretty much confirm that the switch was only about money. Conservative talk makes you money, sports talk doesn't.

    I guess hearing Blazer games in tunnels, in buildings, and with great clarity doesn't matter anymore.

    Of course it's about money. Shouldn't it be about money? I'm not happy about it, but if I don't like it, I guess I could try to convince The Game that I will subsidize any losses they may incur by allowing the format to stay the same.

    I know it's about money, but they're not spinning it that way. Just admit the station is hemorrhaging money

    I just heard that interview on KGW too. It's funny how they're saying that moving the Game to AM is better because we'll be able to hear it farther but then they say moving KXL to FM is better because you'll be able to hear it in more places, lol.

    Advertisers love to hear those words.

    advertisers who signed up for Blazer (and Duck) games broadcast on FM really love hearing they're switching over to an AM signal.

    You guys need to wise up and realize 95.5TheGame has always been unbelievably terrible.

    1080TheFan is superior and will continue to be so.

    I've never been a fan of Big Suke and his little buddy. Cowherd was good when he was in Portland but my god he is more full of himself than Canzano now. The Game has more Blazer related news so to me they're better.

    Well, besides that it's all a matter of personal opinion, the Blazers (and Ducks) are on 95.5 and not 1080. So by default, they're not "superior".

    Who really cares which station the games are broadcasted on?

    It's not like 1080 doesn't cover the Ducks and Blazers. As a listener I can tell you they give you all the news you need.

    Who really cares what station? The quality of the broadcast on FM is miles better then AM, that's why I care.

    All it does is give you a clearer signal to listen to horseshit programming.

    All I care about is the Blazer broadcast. If that's on FM, I'm happy. If it's on a tinny crappy receiving AM, I'm not.

    And again, the programming is subjective. You may not like them, but others do.
