Bobcats Games Heading to WFNZ ? ?

That's true, when I lived in Raleigh I used to get 610 to nearly Greensboro. The signal carries a lot better to the North and East than it does to the South and West. Like I said here in very south Charlotte you can listen to 610 until the sun goes down. After that you can't even hear it with a loud buzz, it doesn't come in at all.

 

Get an iphone and car adapter and stream it if you must.

 

Now that's a shitty use of technology.

An iphone used to stream a shitty sports talk radio station lol

 

The Signal of WFNZ at night on I 485 near the exit that take you to fort mill the signal is very week.ones you get pass that exit the signal become stronger

 

Once you start working for WFNZ maybe you can change that place the fuck around.

 

WFNZ now Bobcats flagship station
The Charlotte Bobcats and WFNZ-AM 610 have finalized an agreement to make Charlotte's sports-talk station the team's radio flagship, a team spokesman confirmed.

A formal announcement is expected Friday morning.

There will be some scheduling conflicts, such as when North Carolina plays, that could move the Bobcats to other CBS radio stations in the Charlotte market.

"610 The Fan" becomes the Bobcats flagship


October 2, 2009

Bobcats Sports & Entertainment (BSE) President and Chief Operating Officer Fred Whitfield announced today the organization has entered into an exclusive agreement with CBS Radio's WFNZ 610AM "The Fan" to be the flagship station of the organization’s radio network, and broadcast preseason, regular season and any postseason games on WFNZ or a CBS Radio affiliate station in the event of a conflict with other contracted programming.

"WFNZ is right for us because they are Charlotte’s only all-sports radio station, and their combination of production experience and appreciation for the wants and needs of sports fans ensures our games will be broadcast the right way," said Whitfield. "In the end there were several options for us to consider, but the valuable promotional opportunities that WFNZ will provide us with makes them our first and best choice and we're proud to play a major role in their re-branding strategy."

Three-year veteran Scott Lauer will continue to be the team's radio play-by-play voice. Lauer's memorable calls during wins over the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons last season were aired on national sports highlight shows, and he now blogs at the team's newest web platform, bobcatsbreak.com.

"We are very excited to become the flagship station of the Charlotte Bobcats," says DJ Stout, Operations Manager/Program Director for 103.7 WSOC/WFNZ 610AM The Fan & America’s Talk 1660AM. "They are a franchise on the rise and we look forward to being a part of it every step of the way."

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, look at the Bobcats Radio Network . . . Man, that is a pretty small weak lineup there . . . .

 

Damn, they don't even have a Raleigh affiliate. I remember when I first moved to Raleigh it was still getting Wizards games instead of Hornets games, although I guess that was mostly for MJ because after he retired the area went back to Hornets territory.

 

The problem isn't that the signal's too weak after dark. The problem is that it's strong enough to hear that jackass Packer during the day!!!!

 

I think that was 'back the day' when NC had split regional sports networks; FXSS in the West and HTS (now Comcast) in the East. I remember the early years when the NHL Canes first got here and they could only air games when both networks were available. I think they only had 30-40 games on TV during the early years.
