Then, it's apparently time for The Game. I don't get their tagline here. "There's a new voice in town. For people that have a passion for sports but aren't defined by them." What is that target market? I have a passion for sports. I have no idea if I'm defined by them. I might be. This reeks of marketing business school mumbo-jumbo buzzwords. I hate that. There's no synergy in that. Another slogan that sounds like it could be cool but makes no sense. |

'Do you live within 30 yards of our transmitter because that is the only way to get a clear signal on our shithole, horse abortion station' Was a bit too wordy so they had to revise. |

I think it means "I'm really passionate about sports......when my team is good! But if they suck for a few years then I am not defined by sports...." Sounds like they really think about all sports fans. I like them already. |

I've been listening most of the afternoon through the stream. The stream crapped out a few minutes ago which is when I heard that ad over and over to be irritated. I did drive down the street a couple hours ago and the signal crapped out on me. |

I think this slogan can veer across functional areas Its making fun of sports nerds and trying to get the GUY RADIO audience |

So... you like sports but you're not a sports stats/Sabremetrics kind of guy? It's not a well-defined slogan, but think about it: are you a Mike Murphy fan or are you deep in stats minutae? |

For people that have a passion for sports but aren't defined by them." . they don't want the american version of these guys shitting up their digital/airwaves... they only want bored semi/successful suburban dads who "know what's really important" like FATHER OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNER david "kap" kaplan. you know, the kind of people stephen colbert calls "it-getters" |

What if your entire identity and self worth and name is defined by your college and your college is absolutely horrible at sports? |

The underlying problem with the line is that face of the station/father of the year David Kaplan is a longtime basketball coach/scout, longtime WGN sports reporter, host of a sports talk show on TV, and now host of a sports talk show on radio. His estimable résumé is all I can honestly say I know about him. He is, quite literally, defined by sports. |
