95.5 The Game == Idiots

[graybeard]

Well, the game has been over for 30 minutes now and the Game radio station still haven't turned on their internet feed. For the last half hour I've been listening to nonstop fast talking loud mouthed advertisements. It's driving me crazy.

Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

Okay, someone finally threw the switch...45 minutes after the game was over. Wheels is signing off now. I've missed the whole post game show. Fucking assholes. It wouldn't be so bad if this was an occasional oversight, but it happens all the time. Ya, I'm pissed.

You can't listen to internet feeds during games.

I know that. I'm talking about after the game is over. They forget to turn on the internet feed. So you have to listen to the nonstop advertising that they play during the game. Am I the only one that listens to the internet feed for the post game and 5th quarter?

Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

Why don't you call the station and complain? Complaining here accomplishes nothing.

Great idea, except they don't post their phone number on their website. Do you have their phone number?

If he is, he could surely direct your complaints to the right person...

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

They must know they suck, because they make it impossible to contact them. I wanted to complain about the extremely rude way the "MSP Boyz" treat their callers AND their guests. So, I went to their web page to find the "Contact Us" page - that EVERY business has on their web site. Couldn't find one. Either they don't have one, or they go out of their way to hide it. Guess they aren't interested in what their audience has to say. Oh well, I stopped listening to their station in the morning. Maybe if enough people do the same they'll eventually get the message. I think it would be better for the station to solicit comments and correct the problems BEFORE losing listeners. Obviously, they feel it's better to hide from their listeners, bury their heads in the sand and pretend everything is great because they never get any complaints.

The Fan sucks, now everybody is complaining about the game. We finally have a radio station that gives a great deal of time discussing the in's and out's of the team and some of you still aren't happy. Get over it, anything to complain about I guess

Go listen to 45 minutes of their nonstop canned advertising then come back and we'll talk about it, until then, you're just talking out your ass.

Umm... we have radios and live in Portland. The only suckers who get the 45 extra minutes of advertising are non-locals who are too cheap to buy Sirius-XM for their NBA Audio Package (or unwilling or not technologically savvy enough to find out where to watch/listen for free).

Thanks for the neener neener and bonehead comments. 95.5 The Game supposedly puts their feeds on the internet for us to listen to. By forgetting to throw the switch for their feed is just sloppy and incompetence on their part.

Hmmm, are you the same Chris in pdx that works for 95.5 The Game? Possibly the one that is responsible for throwing the switch for the internet feeds?

Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

The Detroit game has been over for over 45 minutes now. I sure wish I could listen to Wheels postgame show. Instead I'm listening to their canned advertising. My hope now is that the dolt that is supposed to turn on the internet feed will throw it in time for me to catch some of the 5th Quarter show.

 

[graybeard]

Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

Okay, 1 hour and 3 minutes after the game is over, they finally turn on the internet feed. At least I can listen to some of the 5th Quarter. If I can get Wheels email address, I'm going to email him the link to this thread. Maybe he can kick some ass down there. There is a whole trailblazer market out there outside the radio listening area that is being denied his postgame show because some idiot keeps forgetting to throw the switch. I don't think the blazer brass is going to be pleased with this. Someone should be fired, this has been going on all season.

 

[graybeard]

Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

Thanks, 95.5 The Game. I waited over an hour listening to your canned advertising for the last 10 minutes of the 5th Quarter show. I know I'm not alone on this. If I can't get your internet feed for the postgame that means that thousands of blazer fans across the nation and world can't get it either. I'm betting that some of our servicemen serving in Iraq would listen to you Wheels, if they could. This is pathetic.

Re: 95.5 The Fan == Idiots

It seems more likely that they're keeping the feed unavailable on purpose than that they are consistently incompetent.

I don't know the rules about internet blackouts, but it seems possible.

Nah, sometimes I get to hear the postgame show on the web. Once I even got it right after the game. The NBA cuts their feed to the game right after it's over. The ball is in 95.5's court then. They're just oblivious that they're depriving probably thousands of people of the post game show. What's really sad is that they've got this bubble around them to where you can't even inform them of the problem. No email address's or phone number to contact them... is this any way to run a business?

They are a sports talk radio station. They blare out their phone number every 5 minutes. Are you really this clueless?

I call (503) 417-9595 right after each game ends to tell them to turn the internet feed back on. I think they're sick of hearing from me. It would be great if a bunch of us all called.

They absolutely do not blare out their phone number every 5 minutes and your use of the crazy face and big laugh shows your level of maturity. As touchy as you are, you're the Chris is Portland that works there, aren't you?

That would be CHAD in Portland.

Supposedly of Jim Rome fame, but I think he's pretty much a loudmouthed douchebag.

As for you, your pissing and whining about "The Game"'s internet feed during or immediately after Blazer games is humorous, but ultimately worthless on here. I suggest that you use the contact information given several times on this thread, piss and whine to them, and see how far it gets you.

1. There is someone at 95.5 that goes by the name of Cris In Portland. I know who CIP is. You didn't answer my question, are you that Chris?

2. This thread that I am supposedly pissing and whining is not worthless, in fact it is how I've gotten the contact info I have.

3. My grandson is serving in the military in Iraq. If I can't get the postgame show on the web, neither can he.

4. There are blazer fans all over the country and world that are being denied the post game show. Not only are you not concerned, could give a damned less, but you actually giving me crap about it. You've got yours, so screw everybody else, right? My opinion of you is the same as your opinion of Chad in Portland.

5. I will continue to post on this thread as needed to get the postgames on the web. This is my documentation. I will email this thread link to anyone and everyone I can in the blazer staff and the radio station.

6. I guarantee Wheels and other higher blazer brass are going to be pissed when they find out. Wheels is bustin his butt to put on a great show only to find out that he's not reaching all his fans... for no reason at all other than some chowderhead is habitually forgetting to throw the switch.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

I just wish 95.5 would slightly delay their audio to sync up with the game on television. I really do enjoy watching the game but listening to the radio call... What would it hurt to be hearing the call 10 seconds late.

Ever since "wardrobe malfunction" at the Superbowl everything on TV seems to have the 10 sec delay...

Since I have no idea who or what you are talking about, I'll answer with a qualified no.

2. This thread that I am supposedly pissing and whining is not worthless, in fact it is how I've gotten the contact info I have.

Well, then, congratulations, your pissing and moaning got you the means to piss and moan to someone other than us. I consider that a victory.

3. My grandson is serving in the military in Iraq. If I can't get the postgame show on the web, neither can he.

So what? He's as stupid as you about not being able to find alternative feeds? Jesus, you really are new at this, aren't you?

4. There are blazer fans all over the country and world that are being denied the post game show. Not only are you not concerned, could give a damned less, but you actually giving me crap about it.

See my response to statement #3.

I'm sure the people at "The Game" and the Blazers front office are shaking in their boots at the thought of your actions.
