I was a big fan in the early days. I loved the brewers postgame, because it was something that wasn’t really available in the mid-2000’s. Their NFL and NBA draft coverage was second to none. Just like with the radio business in general, when you are consistently releasing talent and getting new competition (94.5, 97.3), which began doing similar stuff to you, it is very hard to compete. I feel like 97.3 has been investing in talent while 1250 was downgrading, todays move was no surprise.
I agree, I will miss Tim Allen. I will throw Sparky in that category to, who I have been listening to off and on since he was producing for Homer. I wonder if the game will hire some of those guys.
The point is moot now, but the day I gave up on the station is the day they replaced Rome with the Big Unit. It’s funny that he is on now again in Milwaukee. I occasionally still listen to postgame shows and draft coverage but I haven’t listened daily like I did before.
I will say that overall, I preferred the game’s way of sportstalk that wasn’t 100% sports, but was more like hanging out with some friends discussing a variety of topics.
