They used to compose parodies on players and highlights? They used to put highlights to cool tunes? This year they are so bland. Nothing.. nada... zip..

The station is gone down the drain ever since "The Coach" Chuck Dickerson was weeded out of the schedule.

I was never a huge fan of "The Coach" I always thought he was kind of abnoxious.

Yeah you're right. Getting that blowhard off the air has really hurt them. <_<

I miss Art Wander

 

I loved his show when I was younger. Towards the end of the Empire/WNSA days, I finally realized how clueless he was. Oh well, at least he knew how to entertain.

I only knew of him for those last few years. Everytime he was on I wanted to run for the door. :ph34r:

I always enjoyed Pat Hannigan's analysis and great stories. Paul Wieland too. I wonder if they're still around?

Now you have me wondering. I sent a query off to the Sabres Alumni via their website. I'll post, if I hear anything back.

WGR is so horrible. That load Brad is such a waste of breath. How he is still on the air is amazing.

 

This great team deserves a great station. WGR is amatuer hour.

I received a reply back from the Sabres Alumni website. Pat Hannigan is living in Fort Erie and as previously mentioned Professor Weiland :) is at SBU.

Dude, wait til the playoffs..... wow some people never can be happy. WGR never did any songs last year during the season either.

Old Time Fans of WGR will remember the days of Greg Brown, "My Guy" Doug Young, Barry "The Elvis" Buetel, Rocco Pandola (One of my favorites!)

 

Of course while the hosts were great the callers developed their own personality like Eddie on the East Side, Mr. Negative, #29....

 

Those were the days!
