The following interesting and nostalgic piece of information is provided by radio history viewer, Mr. Steven Didovich, via a comment through WNEW1130.com. What timing, with the recent Jock of all Trades post, 01-Oct-2024.
Thank you so much for sharing, Steven.

This is about radio scheduling.
Because of NY Yankees World Series game 3 Monday night at Yankee stadium, the NY Giants-Steelers game on Monday night will move from WFAN 660/101.9 to WBBR 1130.
This will be the 1st Giants game on 1130 since December 1992 when WNEW 1130 ended.
I worked at WBBR that first year and NOT keeping the Giants when he bought 1130 was one of the big mistakes Bloomberg made, as there are no “business news” listeners nights & weekends when football is played & he’d have a chance to capture those listeners for his “news” station. (And he certainly had the $$ to add the Knicks [or Nets] and Rangers [or Islanders or Devils] as well as college games etc. and have a hybrid business/sports station that skewed male.)
Great memories.
