Hey everyone

Huge Knicks fan for about 20 years. I currently host a NY Baseball Show on 1240 AM WGBB Long Island. My sponsor www.freethfan.com has an archive of some of the baseball shows we have done this season.


I wanted some feedback as to whether you guys would be interested in me creating a half hour or hour show dedicated to the Knicks. You would be able to hear it on the internet live or download the replay at the site or on iTunes

Let me know your thoughts

If you allow streaming capabilities (listen on internet) I would love to listen to Knicks talk for an hour.

Next season, keep waiting
The internet is a plus being that not all of us are still in the NY area. Sounds great!

Guys

Thanks for the feedback, yes you would be able to hear the show live at www.am1240wgbb.com

I would love to partner with the forum as well. There would be live call in's and hopefully some guests (sports writers etc. basketball players are usually tougher to get then baseball players)


I am working out the details but if anyone would like to email me ideas on what you would like to see in detail you can get me at [email protected]

I am leaning towards doing an hour and it be similar to my baseball show, take a listen if your a baseball fan at www.freethefan.com

Heck if you guys want maybe we can name the show after the board!

Yes!

This will be cool! We can discuss all types of Knicks stuff all year. Good games, bad games, and more! :)

That would be great! I would listen everyday! I am really excited about it. Hopefully, it could be a more positive spin that all the beat writers besides Alan Hahn. It should also have the ability to be heard as a "podcast" like ESPN has it, so we could listen to the broadcasts at anytime.

I would hope to have it on iTunes just like my baseball show, but you could download it and listen from the web

This will take a few weeks to put together, so be patient. But I appreciate the support of the board.


Perhaps you guys can keep this thread up by giving me ideas for types of segments and things that you would be interested in hearing

Update on Knicks Radio Show

Hey Everyone

Just wanted to update you on this thread (started back in June)

I am sorry it took so long for me to give you an update about the radio show, I was swamped with developing my site, doing the baseball show, and figuring out who would sponsor this project.

Right now www.gothambaseballmagazine.com will be developing a gotham sports media website. They will be doing more then just baseball. I will be a sub-domain on this site.

I have already contacted a few journalist from the tri-state area to come on the show. I also would like to do fan segments with sites like this.

The show will be called Gotham Hoops Live. I will be doing Knicks/Nets/ and some around the league stuff. My guess is that the Knicks will just wind up being a more popular topic. However since its a NY baseketball show, I have to do the "other" team in town.

The show will be hosted by blogtalkradio, with dedicated call in number and everything. You will also be able to subscribe to the show via iTunes.

I do not want to be a self promoting so when the time comes I will only publish my website with permission. You are free to subscribe and never visit my site.

My site will be a combo of my baseball and baskeball show, there will be a blog, video, and some other cool stuff.

Thanks again for your support and interest in the show. Since I am not on the air yet I can still be bias

Go Knicks! and as a lifelong NY and former Brooklynite i will say it now and probably on the air I HATE THE NJ NETS.

wow

Yeah i hate the nets and what makes me even more upset is that they have there games on the YES network come on yankees well i guess the more they make the more they can spend on making this club the best in the world.

What i really hate about the Nets is like sometimes they try to come of like there a NY team yall from Jerzey stay in JERZ

:agreed:

Good News

Alan Hahn of Newsday has agreed to do an interview at some point. I am shooting for Sunday Oct 21st or the 28th as the debut show - more details to come.

I really like Alan's blog and would be interested to hear his opinion on the team.

Should have more info in the next few days
