Ruben Frank misfired here, in a Tweet that appears to have been deleted. Why was it deleted? Oh because that’s Michael Barkann’s dash – an MMI on an Audi… is that an A6? – where two of the top 10 presets consist of 610 AM, which currently simulcasts ESPN programming, and 97.5 The Fanatic.
Can’t blame Michael, though. Never hurts to check out the competition. I have some of the other Philly all-sports blogs bookmarked, so I can see how many hours it takes them until they rip off our posts. As for Michael B– maybe he prefers to listen to the competition instead of the rolling turmoil that is the 1-6 timeframe on his own station. RADIO WARS? Meh.
