What's the problem with 790. Yes, Mike Bell was taking shots at the ACC and GT fan support. But this is sports talk, it's supposed to be entertainment. The guys on the Hive failed to mention that Steak had a lot of nice things to say about our atmosphere and tradition. Beau Bock is in love with GT. He practically wants to adopt George Godsey.
What station would you like to be our flagship?
790 runs spots for GT, talks about GT and has done more to promote our program than any flagship we've had in a long long time.
What people don't understand is we were nothing but paid programming on WGST. We pay them a fee to air our games and coaches show. ISP sells ads to cover the costs and perhaps make a few bucks. That was it, they didn't care about our program, they didn't run liners saying they were the home of GT football. 790 doesn't make much on our deal, but they do get the respect which comes along with being the flagship station for a Div-I program. Unfortunately, that is only of value to a sports station but I'm glad to see they value it.
What are the options? 680thefan, they have clearly tried to be the Dawg station and I doubt they would do much to promote GT sports as the SEC crowd is their core audience. WGST, once again we were just paid programming to them. Nothing more than the Bob and Rod home show. What choices does that leave, Z93, Star 94??? So you see our problem here. Personally, I'm glad we are on one of the few stations in Atlanta that is not afraid to say they are the flagship station for GT Football and Basketball.
