97.3 K-ROCK Changes Its Name To 97.3 OILERS!
April 25th, 2006, Edmonton: At 5:00am this morning, 97.3 K-ROCK has changed its name to 97.3 OILERS.
K-ROCK listeners will wake up to a new station this morning, Edmonton’s Classic ROCK 97.3 OILERS, featuring a new station logo, hockey content, classic hockey songs and the best classic rock songs in the planet.
“We want to show our listeners and Edmonton, the City Of Champions, how passionate we are about our hockey team”, says Rob Mise Operations Manager, 97.3 OILERS!
To celebrate our new name, please join 97.3 OILERS at the Game tonight for the official Tailgate Party taking place in the parking lot right across from Rexall Place off Wayne Gretzky Drive. We’re cooking up some “Red” Wings and serving up some Alberta Beef Burgers. PLUS stop by and join the Red Wings precession followed by a wake for the late Red Wings.
Listeners can listen LIVE on 97.3 FM on the dial or online at http://www.973oilers.com/.
I swear to God this better be a joke. What a stupid idea. Just thinking about this makes me upset. Also, Ross, you don't get to hold this one against Oilers fans, just Newcap Radio. Wow. I don't think I can go on. I'm too riled up right now. Needless to say though, this may be the worst idea in the history of sports.

Oh don't worry i'm not holding it against Oiler fans....just the Oiler humping media in the city.
Also, i'm pretty sure there have been worse ideas in the history of sports including:
-Nashvile's 3rd Jersey
-Putting an NBA team in Vancouver
-lawn darts (unless someone other than me is playing goalie)
The Grizzlies would have worked had the team not been run by retards. I mean, Toronto developed a fa base cause they started winning. Vancouver drafted Steve Francis despite the fact he said he would never play with them before the draft.
Third jerseys were cool until teams started getting new ones every season. That's when it went from a subtle to a blatant marketing ploy.
I agree with Paul. There was enough of a fan base there in Vancouver until they won something like 100 games in six seasons or whatever it was. Management were also idiots. They drafted Steve Francis, they signed Big Country to an 800 million dollar deal and they thought Shareef Abdur Rahim was Amare Stoudamire—or someone like him.
It could be worse, you could change from rap to country overnight. Not that I particularly enjoy either genre, but I'm sure it's still painful for those that stuck a 96X sticker on the old bumper.
