WFNY Update

August 24, 2010 by 33 Comments

Since WFNY began we have had a singular goal- to give the fans of Cleveland the best we could possibly offer. Since January of 2008 we have tried to do just that. We’ve added writers, expanded our coverage to weekends and gave away about as much as we could along the way.

This summer we have been working hard on some new and exciting additions to WFNY. As you’ve probably already seen, we’ve added WFNY Tickets recently. This partnership with Tiq IQ was designed to give our readers a secondary ticket market aggregate. A one-stop shop if you will for online tickets. We will continue to tweak and improve WFNY Tickets, and we are excited about that opportunity.

Another item we are excited about is a new feature writer. Every Wednesday at 2pm (starting tomorrow) you can check in right here at WFNY for The Amico Report. Veteran sports writer Sam Amico (a must follow on twitter) will offer his take on the Cavaliers and the Cleveland sports scene in general every week. Sam has written for NBA.com, the USA Today, NBC Sports, CBS Sports and a host of other national media. He also founded Probasketballnews.com and the NBA Gab network.

In addition, we have some other exciting new features and partnerships lined up. For those interested in fantasy sports, we are working with RotoHog.com to bring fantasy games to life here at the site. And for you Madden players- keep practicing and watch for news about a WFNY online Madden tournament.

The biggest news we are going to sit on for just a little bit longer.

Enjoy the changes. As always, keep sending in tips and suggestions through tips@waitingfornextyear.com.

    “The biggest news we are going to sit on for just a little bit longer.”

    I’m okay with waiting for the “biggest news” as long as you don’t make the announcement in front of a national audience on ESPN and it doesn’t result in my favorite sports blog taking its talents to south beach.

    Jokes aside, keep up the good work!

    Giving us a full-post RSS feed? Launching a mobile site? Both?! But seriously, one of those is really easy and either would make my phone a better device.

  • dgolf221

    @29 DK:
    Whew. Glad I wasn’t commissioned to shoot part one… ;-)

    Hey now – I spent a lot of money getting bronzed for that photo shoot.

  • CleFanVA

    WFNY for PRESIDENT!

  • DK

    I think the strangest thing about Denny’s photoshoot was the need for 17 llamas, a dumptruck full of Pancake Mix, and Emmanuel Lewis’s shoelaces. I still have no idea what was done with it.
