Also, someone said they are airing ESPN radio? Is this true?
that’s even more odd because Espn has a Charlotte (competing) affiliate. WFNZ runs national CBS sports. 

management could have sold the stations and not told anyone until the very last minute, big changes, etc. 

That was an error on my part --- definitely filling the air time with national guys from CBS Sports Radio.  Bill Reiter on now, he is unlistenable.

FYI...ownership of the stations (WFNZ & WBT) changed back in early November.  Entercom and a company called Urban One swapped some stations in different markets. 

Urban One positions itself as:

"...the largest diversified media company that primarily targets Black Americans and urban consumers in the United States. We provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African-American and urban audiences through our national multi-media operations."

It can't be "not a big deal" if they're ignoring it - otherwise, somebody would say something.  Was there a COVID outbreak in the studio and they had to shut it down for a few days?

Their studio is in the same building as WBTV, 1079 The Link, and 1110WBT. 
 

I would think it could possibly be a contract dispute with their parent company (Entercom) or maybe they just didn’t pay their rent this month lol 

1110-WBT radio programming going on as usual and the girl who does the traffic reports for both stations is on WBT today so COVID complications seem unlikely --- and that would be a story unto itself, no way to keep that under wraps.

Some weird things been going on there since the Hitman (Tony DiGiacomo, GM) was exited. 

Swapping Bailey out of drive-time for Wilson made no sense.  Wilson's partner Parcells left with no explanation.  Stan Norfleet recently add, he really sucks. 

Will be interesting to watch...

yeah this is pretty odd, I would think there is a contract dispute. If it was something internal like a Covid outbreak or signal not working they would have mentioned it.

Sport Radio is mostly pretty annoying and I find their lineup on par. I'm not commenting on the actual radio guys but that place always seems to have been run by amateurs.  They change thing way too often. They used to have guys miss their shows for dental appointments.....when they are on air for like 3 hours in the day. Just seemed so easy to schedule around like anyone else on earth would do.

There still is no public info on why Chris Kroeger was abruptly fired as Hornets PxP; which makes me think it was pretty serious and a non disclosure was signed. Probably dippin or trying to dip his pen in the company ink. His career really took a hard nose dive. 

I’d like to know what happened with him as well

he was doing hornets games on radio, android was pretty good

he just vanished without a trace

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
