I set up a poll in a separate thread as Iam genuinely interested to know what everyone's preference is between the two stations after a month.
I tuned in on my drive to work at 6am on Thursday, hoping to hear their reaction from the game, but by the time I got to work, it was only about sleeping at the station and other stuff I tuned out.
I'm starting to listen to half of GYB on my way to work, the other half on my way home and then maybe EST on the days I'm caught up on the podcast.
I don't usually mind the non-sports stuff, but AFTER I hear the sports stuff
I sure hope so.Are there any plans to even improve the signal? Because as of now I basically can’t pick it up unless I’m sitting in the WEM parking lot.
9/10 the first hh of oilers now is usually a skipI get off at 5:00 from work... so having the choice to listen to Oilers Now and 1440 on the drive home is really nice. I usually prefer Oilers Now and Stauffer over Gregor's show, however Stauffer usually replays game audio and interviews from the previous night's game in the first part of his show so I actually prefer listening to Mark Spector on Gregor's show at that time. But when it comes to streaming and listening to certain segments or guests of each show in my free time, I definitely prefer listening to Oilers Now. As for EST, I guess I'm too old school still and prefer listening to my radio then to stream anything when I'm driving... so I don't find myself listening to Dusty as much as I used to when he was on 1260.
1440 is on line --I lsiten to them that way but I have to use a vpn to make it look like I am in EdmontonAre there any plans to even improve the signal? Because as of now I basically can’t pick it up unless I’m sitting in the WEM parking lot.
agreed. so bad, so not an asset to the show in any way.This Wanye guy is terrible on Gregors show

GYB Oilers and National podcasts are stellar. I’ve migrated from Bobs show to GYB for Oiler insight. I do miss some of Bobs guests, Lawton, the guy from Puckpedia, Friedman and so on but you have to give to get. The lineup of Strudwick with Brown and RR a running the show has been awesome. I spanked Risghaug in a post here a few weeks back for his childishness, but aside from that, he is a polished host and is very knowledgeable. Struddy is pure must-listen-to audio. Brownie is also intelligent and an awesome add.I'm starting to listen to half of GYB on my way to work, the other half on my way home and then maybe EST on the days I'm caught up on the podcast.

Yep. Migrating their show from on air to pod, they are doing ZERO a post production and it shows. The pod is crap. I’ve stopped auto downloading about 2 weeks ago.Oilers Now podcast now has ads randomly thrown in when people are speaking mid-sentence. Just brutal, guess I'm done hearing from Bob.
i prefer the line up on 1440, Lowetide and Gregor, not so much Karius. Still like Dusty, like the oilstream and 2 guys and a goalie. Miss them all together on a signal you could get on a regular radio, that being said, it's nice that there is so much content available again via podcasts and online feeds/players.
