Eggers: Blazers Want Out Of Radio Deal?

118
Kerry Eggers of the Portland Tribune reports that that the Portland Trail Blazers aren't super pumped about The Game's switch from 95.5FM to 750AM. -------------------------------- The Blazers are trying to get out of their contract with "The Game" (KXL, 750 AM), which runs through 2022. Blazer management believes the move of the sports talk station from FM to the AM side is a step back and would like to either re-do its contract for a better market deal or have the opportunity to look elsewhere. Station officials, who have offered to simulcast games on FM (101.1) and AM, contend they have a legitimate contract in place and are reluctant to renegotiate. The issue may not get resolved until the fall. -------------------------------- Sorry for the overload of radio-related posts today. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
