This is B.S.The station made the decision to drop the Phil`s and cover the barely above American Legion Stormers. The Stormer`s tanked and the Phil`s won it all.Too bad for us but really too bad for the station.They lost big bucks that would have come with ad`s and listeners during the extended season that led to the Championship.Pay what it cost to get them back on the home station.Quit your crying.

YOU CAN GET IT ON 830 OUT OF READING. WHEN THE GAMES ARE ON IN THE EVENING I LISTEN TO IT ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK.

830 out of Reading huh. Heck why not 1210 out of Philly. The thing about 1490 carrying the Phillies is that the games would come in pretty clear. I was one of the outraged fans when I found out that I could not listen to the Phillies on the radio after 1490 dropped them.

I have since gotten XM and I hear all their games now.

Sorry Barnstormers, you are fun to watch in person but not that interesting on radio.

As for 1490 you can fold now. I have no reason to tune in.

The station may as well fold anyway- their daily lineup his horrible anyway now that the powers that be at Fox have decided to jack with it. And today? They decided to air some half hour informercial during the noon hour, instead of one of their strongest (Ok, my favorite) syndicated shows.

Seriously- You can't get Phils games, we're forced to listen to interminably horrible Barnstormers games, Hershey games, and PSU games, and during Football season- do we even get the luck of listening to any of our semilocal teams? No, you take your chances with whatever the Westwood One game's going to be.

*eyeroll*

And if I hear that Organ Donor jingle one more time, I'm going to scream.

(Sorry, I'm just a girl who listens to way too much Sports Talk because she doesn't have cable.)
