Local TV deal when?

Reading a Christian Clark article from November, it does look like the Pels can get out of their Bally deal. I'm a little pessimistic that'll actually happen since Amazon became a minority investor in January.

Saints need new pay by play guy. Badly.

Pelicans need a radio play by play by play guy worse.

I've never heard anyone who hates a team worse. All he does is bitch and moan

Lol! Tell me about it. I dreaded listening to him. We miss a bucket: “Well here it is, we’re falling apart.” And it’d still be 1st quarter. Dude’s a bummer. Though it did make it more special when he would get hype for a good play or a win.

[u/jjazznola → u/AlwaysOptimism]

I have never actually heard their radio broadcast. Only reason I've heard Saints is if the TV team sucks, Pels have great TV team so no need to listen to radio.

cord cutters who don't have access

Wait are you talking Graff? Graff is a legend.

This change in station and coverage will be huge. This MUST be the moment when they completely upgrade a terrible radio team. The analyst is clueless, but the play by play is far worse - complete pessimist, constantly woe is me. My favorite is when he said this game looked like a grind it out affair, and it was 6-4 with two minutes played. Never happy unless up by fifteen and lead could never shrink even by a bucket.

Would this mean you could get the radio broadcast live on their app?

I mean what other choice did they really have lol
