Brian Higgins

[sufan59]

He will be missed. Hope he is able to financially make it work to remain in the Syracuse sports talk space moving forward. Following Syracuse sports won’t feel the same without his voice and takes.

Agree. Brian has done a fine job with his show. We need him to stay on the air.

Anyone know who the station manager is that we should be voicing our complaints and concerns to on this?

He left his job with Learfield just to be closer to his family.

Maybe the PS can hire him to cover LAX and WBB, and free up Axe for other things.

He seems like a good guy. That’s a shame.

Tough one for Higgins. Didn’t like him at first but he grew on me. Thought something was up listening the last couple of days. He will land somewhere

Feel for Brian but the demand just isn't there locally. The days of big time local sports radio is over for the most part save for the B10 and SEC mid level and above college towns/locations. Again not a shot at Brian but Syracuse especially is a tough listen as most of the callers are so uninformed it's laughable. You'll get more spending 20 mins on syracusefan a day then 5 hours of local sports talk radio.

I really enjoyed listening to Brian each day, a very good dude. I hope he does a Syracuse sports podcast of his own, I think it would be quite good.

 

[StLouisCuse]

This is a kick in the groin. I listen to Brian almost daily. Really liked his work. Very knowledgeable and had a way about him that he could deliver a show and keep you interested. Hopefully he lands on his feet covering SU Athletics. I'm going to miss listening to him.

 

[djcon57]

That station is state media anyway. Podcasts are way to go.

 

[JeffCuse]

Really disappointing. The only show left is easily the one that is the most hesitant to push the boundaries when it comes to Syracise athletics.

 

[UnknownOrange]

I’ve been wondering why it’s been national programming lately

 

[DilemaCuse]

Ugh, first Axe now Higgy

 

[JeffCuse]

Ugh, first Axe now Higgy

They clearly dont understand the concept.pf evening drive. Their only original show is when no one is listening midday

 

[DilemaCuse]

I liked texting to him in the chat and his responses, very open and non combative as opposed to scibilia.

Even in a bigger market here in Kansas City with 2 stations, it's not that great. I used to love to listen, but hardly ever do now, even with my commute now twice as long as it used to be. You're right about the callers. When I used to listen regularly, I often found myself thinking "Did that really sound intelligent when you were on hold rehearsing what you were going to say?"

I know the business has moved to more podcasts, etc. but they’re just not my thing… maybe it’s an age/nostalgia thing as I remember doing it as a kid… but there’s something about hopping in the car after a game and listening to a call-in show immediately after a game.

Brian’s show was great, but loved him on postgame as well.

He was let go the day he got back from vacation.

That happened to me once.

I really enjoyed his show. I usually followed online. Good guy and a good listen.

Likewise I enjoyed his show - hope he makes a go of it in another way

 

[MadNY3]

He will be back….

 

[sufan59]

He will be back….

Like for Syracuse? Or in general?

 

[Dinkyspond]

That happened to me once.

me too

 

[MadNY3]

I think something to do with Syracuse. Not with the University officially.

Unless he wants to career switch…
