First post...don’t know what happened, all my text disappeared. Which station do you guys prefer? I used to be only 92.9, but once I saw the light I switched to 680 and never went back. Much better hosts, a lot less turnover, and they talk about more than just the Falcons all the time. Who do you guys prefer, and why?

Too much Atlanta United stuff on 92.9 but that's about the only difference for me.
By the way Brian Finneran has gotten a little better since he first started at 680 but he is absolutely horrible at radio. Just HORRIBLE.
I gave them up before United really got going, so I never experienced that. But I felt that way about them Falcons. College football is king for me, and 680 talks about it a good bit. They just also have better personalities over there, from the hosts to the producers.
Agree about the morning people. I think both stations have garbage morning shows.
If I answered this poll a few months ago, it would have been 92.9. The old 10 to 2 show on 92.9 was great. The one with Rick Kamla and John Michaels. But since they got booted, I have been back to 680.
I fat fingered lol
I prefer the personality they show on The Game...but its really meh. Way too many ad breaks sometimes. Hugh Douglass isnt the best. More Falcons centric
Someone needs to be locked up for getting rid of Kamla and John Michaels.
The Fan is way better for CFB news and real sports talk, I just don't prefer some of the "dryness"
Agreed about Finneran , just terrible
chuck and chernoff are great at college fball
I enjoy buck on 680 typically has some type of insider info every now and then.
1310 the Ticket. Best radio station in the country. Hands down.
Chuck and Chernoff on my drive home everyday.
Ooh. I like this poll.
Agree on the morning shows as well. I do like Sandra Golden, despite the dolphin laugh. I mostly listen in the afternoon though.
Off the top of my head:
680 the Fan:
Steak: Hacking his way along, 20 plus years later, and still the most unprepared guy on sports talk. A voice only a mother would love.
Finneran: I wish they’d forbid him to do the ad spots. Hearing him read live on the air is painful. I’m embarrassed for him.
Cellini: I think he’s funny. Sue me.
Dimino: Best baseball guy anywhere, not just here. Pre-game pop quiz is awesome.
Buck: Buck is Buck, man. Dude is a legend in Dawgnation.
John Kinkaide: I don’t hate on him like many. He’s good at what he does.
Chuck and Chernoff: My favorite show. They just click. Love me some Carlos Medina.
929 the game:
John Fricke: I can’t decide between windbag or blowhard. Always name dropping. Best voice though.
Hugh Douglas: Seems genuine, but he can be unlistenable. Sometimes he has no idea what he’s talking about.
Dukes and Bell: Mike Bell is my favorite host without a doubt. The quintessential radio pro. Dukes is a great foil for Bell. They’re really good together. Here’s the thing (as they LOVE to say): Their incessant coverage of the Falcons draft felt like a hostage crisis. Like they were being forced to broadcast messages.
I’ve written enough here. Apologies.
I can only get it when the suns up in Kennesaw. Once it’s down it’s all static.
What happened with Kamla and Michael's anyway? Really enjoyed the 2 of them together. Sort of like Having Westbrook and Harden together. No matter what you will be entertained. Big loss for 92.9 IMO.
And Brian Finneran is still horrible. Just awful.
Love Chuck and Chernoff, a 680 staple for DANG sure. They actually seriously got into it on the air once about 8-10 years ago. Real talk. Somebody on here remembers this. Chuck cracked a joke about someone that had passed away and Chernoff reamed him good on air.
