Congrats to KSPN and KSWD (100.3fm) on securing the radio rights to the LA Rams.May 22, 2016 at 10:59 am #44479
wvParticipantHow are the St.Louis stations gonna handle Rams games now?
I mean, I would think there are still a ton of Ram
fans in St.Louis. Most of the Loo fans just watched the Rams
on tv like the rest of us. A lot of em probly dont care
all that much about where they play. Yes? No?Just my opinion, but I think there’s an opportunity here
for a crafty-smart station. I bet there’s still plenty
of interest for a lot of St.Loo fans. Despite all the…ya know.w

vNo. If demand is there they will broadcast in st. Louis. Otherwise the Chiefs games will be shown.

Well, i know how you feel about Kronky and the move and all,
and i know a lot of hardcore St.Loo fans — mainly the ones who actually went to the games — will tune out the Rams. But is there still a large
contingent of St.Loo fans who would listen to Rams games ?Dont you think a radio station with a talented PR department could still
capture a large number of fans in St.Louis? I mean like i said,
most fans just watch teams on TV and it dont really matter
where the team exists in the physical dimension of space/time.
Yes? No?If i were a St.Loo radio station I’d have a field day lampooning
Kronky but still having fun with the Rams as a football team.w
vMay 22, 2016 at 11:41 am #44489znModeratorBut is there still a large

Lots of signs of that around and about.
One (and it’s not definitive) is that JT says in his chats how the PD keeps getting requests for more Rams news from locals. He says that for every email complaining about continuing coverage, he gets more asking for increased coverage.
Another sign out there is all the old St.Louis posters who have stuck with it, on various boards.
And of course there’s also a percentage who have dumped the Rams completely.
It’s mixed. I see signs of both things.

To the best team in America:
After an understandably long process the Los Angeles Rams have made a decision on their broadcast partners. In partnership with ESPN 710, 100.3 will be the exclusive FM home for the Los Angeles Rams pre-game, in game and post games. 100.3 will be the first Los Angeles FM station to carry NFL football, ever! We are so proud to be part of sports history and serve our community in this way. We are looking forward to many more Southern Californian’s finding 100.3 on their FM radios.
We are also so very proud to be partnering with ESPN 710 and their great brand. With ESPN’s sports expertise, our 1.7m listeners (soon to be larger) and our signal strength reaching deep into San Diego so many more Southern Californians will be listening exclusively to their new team on 100.3 Congratulations to our entire team as I am so proud of who we are, what we stand for and everything we have accomplished over the years. I know the rumors are on the streets. They are true. A major NFL franchise, who took presentations from everyone, chose us. We are so proud to be able to deliver this exciting news to you. I am also so proud to be working with all of you and watching how all of you handle the highs and lows of business over the years. Congratulations to all of you! More details to follow. For your eyes only until the official announcement.

I assume Steve Savard and D’Marco are not going to be
doing it anymore.w

vNo. Friends and family in St. Louis have all said fuck him in so many words. The anger is deep seated and personal which is what StanK wanted. He’s got it. Supporting the team is supporting StanK I’ve heard over and over. It is so much worse than when Bidwill left blaming the city and fans. StanK flat out lied as did the League office to St. Louis. The so called savior of football in LA 21 years earlier was necessary to move the NFL from LA to St. Louis. The sleazeball makes out like a bandit on both moves.
I can’t imagine any team letting an affiliate openly critical of the owner broadcast games. They couldn’t handle Hanifan openly criticizing the abysmal play so I doubt it will happen. Now that is not to say I don’t think it is a bad idea. In fact I like it. Could be a communal cathartic bashing the shit out of StanK but I doubt few St. Louis fans will waste time on it for long.

http://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2016/06/20/espnla-become-flagship-station-los-angeles-rams/
The Los Angeles Rams announced today a five-year agreement with ESPNLA 710AM, which will serve as the Rams’ official home and flagship radio partner. The agreement covers pre-season, regular-season, and post-season games, with extensive pre and post-game shows, producing an eight-hour game-day broadcast. The Rams have also reached a multi-year agreement with Entercom’s The Sound 100.3FM, who will simulcast game-day broadcasts and serve as the Rams’ official FM home.
“We look forward to reaching football fans across the Los Angeles community through our partnership with ESPNLA 710 and The Sound 100.3,” said Kevin Demoff, Los Angeles Rams chief operating officer. “Both stations have a strong connection to their audience and we welcome the opportunity to provide their listeners with exclusive game-day programming, unique daily insight, and access to our team throughout the year.”
Highlights of the agreement, which runs through the 2020-21 season:
Five-year agreement for ESPNLA 710AM to be the official home and flagship radio partner of the Los Angeles Rams
Eight-hour broadcast for every game including:
Three-hour pre-game show
Two-hour post-game show
One-hour weekly Coach’s Show with Jeff Fisher, Mondays at 7 p.m. PT during the season
One-hour game preview show Thursdays at 7 p.m. PT during the season
Weekly segments with head coach Jeff Fisher and star Rams players
Daily “Rams Report”Scott McCarthy, vice president and general manager, ESPNLA, added, “Like all Southern California sports fans, we at ESPNLA are thrilled that the Rams have come home. The Rams are a world-class franchise, and we look forward to working with them to bring their exciting games to Rams fans across the Southland. Adding compelling Rams programming to our market-leading lineup of on-air talent and our fantastic existing relationships with the Los Angeles Lakers, USC and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim really elevates ESPNLA to the next level.”
As part of the flagship agreement, ESPNLA will be responsible for all radio production efforts and for selling virtually all of the advertising inventory in the game-day broadcasts and ancillary programming. ESPNLA will also broadcast live from all key Rams events, including every home game, training camp, and the Rams Draft Party.
ESPNLA will also build and manage an extensive Rams Radio Network, feeding game-day broadcasts to radio stations across Southern California and markets beyond.
Game-day broadcasts will be simulcast on Entercom’s The Sound 100.3FM, the leading classic-rock music station in Southern California with a powerful signal covering Los Angeles and Orange County. The Sound 100.3FM will also create exclusive Rams programming, including regular segments on the popular “Mark in the Morning” show.
Peter Burton, vice president and general manager of The Sound/100.3 FM, said, “We are excited to be welcoming the Los Angeles Rams to their official new FM home at 100.3 The Sound. Along with our terrific partners at ESPN, we look forward to delivering excellent game-day coverage to Rams fans throughout Southern California.

NewMexicoRamParticipantI wonder if St. Louis will ever host an NFL team again? 2 teams have left there, both were transplanted there from other cities, then left.
Maybe if it’s a team totally original to St. Louis, not a team moving in?
It is difficult to see that happening, with 32 teams already. It would almost require the addition of 4 new teams to the league, creating 18 teams per conference, 6 teams per division (change to 3 divisions each conference).June 20, 2016 at 8:27 pm #46728bnwBlockedI wonder if St. Louis will ever host an NFL team again? 2 teams have left there, both were transplanted there from other cities, then left.

St. Louis should have gotten the second expansion team in ’95 but that went to Jacksonville which was and still is a dumb decision.
