Programming alert: Ron and Stephanie Rivera will be on WFNZ in-studio today at 12:30

Coming on at that time points to at least 2 full segments that they'll be on for. Should be an interesting listen.

Thanks for posting this. Will try to listen.

I can't imagine why or how this could be a good thing or necessary. 

I mean what is to be gained? Try to turn public support away from Tepper and the Panthers? To what end, maybe get his job back? 

I just don't understand the point.

They're bringing their dog, so they'll probably do some promoting for the Humane Society and say nice things about Charlotte and that's about it. I'm not expecting anything controversial, you don't bring the wife and dog if that's your intent.

well his presser got made fun of all over the place yesterday.  back to back to back. back to back to back.  maybe he wants to come across as not so douchey

The press conference felt like a long rant at Tepper morso then goodbye to me. I think this is a goodbye to the fans and city deal.

why Don’t you listen to what they have to say before you trash them ? They are good people and I’d bet it’s all positive talk.

I’m sure it’s just a farewell to the fans and thanking the community for all of the support type of deal. I think it’s important to them as part of their character they show as much appreciation as they can for everyone who supported them. Also good for the station as i’m sure plenty of people will tune in.

Agreed.  Also a lot of Panthers that have had their career made in Charlotte, stay in Charlotte.  Smitty, Olsen etc..  I think the Riveras are just trying to sow some good will and lay the foundation for a long future in the community.
