Entercom Buffalo and Pegula Sports and Entertainment have extended their broadcast partnership between WGR Sportsradio 550 and the NFL’s Bills and NHL’s Sabres through the 2020-21 seasons. With the new agreement, Entercom will be expanding and adding positions in its WGR Sports Marketing Department.
Entercom Buffalo VP/GM Greg Ried calls the deal a win/win for both organizations. “The Bills and Sabres are Western New York’s passion and an important element of this community. It is a privilege to work with Pegula Sports and Entertainment and their world-class team of professionals. They have both the success of our teams and the success of our community at heart.”
The WGR Bills and Sabres radio networks are collectively heard on more than 20 radio stations across New York State, Northwestern Pennsylvania, and Southern Ontario. John Murphy, Mark Kelso, and Sal Cappacio will continue as the Bills broadcast team. Rick Jeanneret, Dan Dunleavy, and Rob Ray remain as the Sabres radio team. In addition to being the official flagship station for the teams, WGR will continue to air Sabres Hockey Hotline on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to noon, with hosts Andrew Peters and Craig Rivet. The Bills-themed John Murphy Show, with Murphy and former Buffalo Bill Donald Jones, can now be heard from noon to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Both shows will also be simulcasted on MSG.
