This would be interesting. I grew up watching Buffalo news and sports on all three of the city's channels. WIVB is the CBS affiliate and I can actually remember when its call letters were WBEN.

 

That would've been back when the longtime "Voice of the Bills," Van Miller, was in charge. Fandemonium!

Used to be the best in town, but took a major hit when John Murphy (sports director/Miller's replacement on Bills broadcasts) jumped to buffalobills.com and Paul Peck changed careers. I'm thinking this position opened up when their sports producer followed Murph to the Bills.

Also of note, it was just announced last week that Media General plans to buy WIVB's parent company, LIN Media:
