Episode 737 of After the Whistle.

I just recorded an episode that will come out probably tonight at midnight.

I'll be in here editing all day while Craig's in the golf simulator.

It was like an Olympic preview with JR.

We kind of figured out who's going to win the gold and morning craig good morning

it is a great morning first and foremost before we get into the three points uh out in old f la there

here's to those three points in fLA. Sabers bills canceling their partnership agreement with WGR 550 seems to be the hot news all over Western New York yesterday.

So I don't know if that's something you want to talk about, but we were kind of in the midst of all that mess back when we were working for the team and doing the instigator show.

So, I mean, it's kind of interesting to see that relationship come to an end because we saw it begin with the five hour radio block and then the simulcast with uh msg and then you know going to three

going to three hours and now out you know anyway not sure if that i don't know i don't know what to

say um you know longstanding relationship between w gr 550 and, uh, and the sabers and bills.

And, uh, now it's kind of like, uh, I'm, I'm curious to hear what the next, what the next chapter is for, you know, what the, what the, what the, what the radio station is going to do, you know, trying to fill that spot.

What are the Sabers going to do with, you know, Sabers live, one Bill's live because that's basically no longer.

Well, my guess would be stream them podcast style. And maybe they, you know, still have, I don't know what, what's going on with the MSG deal.

But I mean, if I were to assume the games will still be on MSG, they could probably still have those TV time blocks on, uh, MSG, uh, during the day if they wanted, but then turn them into podcasts without the, you know, the, the, the relationship with the radio station. I mean, I understand it. I mean, streaming has become, you know, they, they, the, the, the, the relationship with the radio station. I mean, I understand it.

I mean, streaming has become, you know, they, the, the, the teams get to own their own content.

So, and it just sucks for GR because, you know, we know them over there and, and they're just not going to be the, uh, home of the bills.

The official.

The official. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So i don't know if they go to another radio station i don't know what happens or how they do it but um i'm just i'm really kind

of learning still about the transition of radio to streaming and podcasts and um how radio stations what what

how much podcasting has skyrocketed since we started five years ago yeah it's

when we started water five years ago there was you know very few very few podcasts um covering Sabres covering the NHL.
