What's this?

It is good we have a strong station in 107.9

Living here in Raleigh we are on the outer fringe of that station . Here in Raleigh it is a strugle to hear the broadcast west of here no chance..850 an AM station was around a few years ago but no more. Correct me if my thought is wrong but I think Jeff Charles was responsible for getting radio stations on board.Eventhough many have sat. radio I and many others rely on good ol radio to listen to the away games .This is a quirk of mine I cant listen to play by play will check in every 10 minutes or so even after all these years . Sitting in the seats I feel I am in much more control stupid it is just me.
