WHCU ends broadcast partnership with CU

[Chris H82]

The end of WHCU broadcasts saddens me greatly, but I can't say it wasn't expected. Having two home broadcast teams was pretty out-of-the-ordinary. I really enjoyed listening to Jason over the years and it was the only reason I ever used a radio app. I wish there's a way to retain him and Grady somehow.

My other wish is for there being a way to just have an audio-only stream in the app for Car use like MLB has.

My third wish is for infinite wishes.

That sucks, I loved those guys. Hope they know that us fans will miss them. Wonder what going in a different direction means. Student broadcasters?

Well, Jason is suddenly available...

Jason would make sense, therefore....

No offense to chimpfood and other students but student announcers would be a big step down, judging from what I've seen on other schools' broadcasts. Doesn't ESPN get a say here? Wouldn't they want to hire a professional?

Grady and Tim were good announcers. Sometimes I wished they stuck to the action more and were more polished, but I liked them. Hopefully Jason gets the job. I can't imagine the job pays much at all, so I don't understand the "cost cutting" rationale.

Yeah, that's how I took it.  I hope I am wrong and it is Jason but any time Bristol is involved along the yapping pipeline I expect the greatest incompetence delivered with the loudest fanfare.  Good thing Joe Morgan's dead.

Agreed, not in favor of student announcers, just wondering what the new plan might be.

Coming this fall, Cornell hockey with John Buccigross and Barry Melrose!

The way Cornell is going now they have a plan to let AI watch the game and tell the story.

Grady and Tim were a nice team, but if they bring back Jason I'd be pleased.

I nearly snarked this as well.

Hold out for Mike Milbury.

The answer is going to be regional freelancers rather than employees on anyone's payroll.
