Then they do "landmark" events like this and make a POINT of saying "you have to BE HERE to participate, it won't be broadcast, blah blah blah" (they did the same thing at fifteen years, though that was rebroadcast a couple of times on some obscure cable access channel IIRC.)<br /><br />Do they not realize that people listen to the station from AROUND THE WORLD? Wait - of course they realize this.<br /><br />I want to be there on Friday night, but I cannot. I would happily fork over $20 for an "official" DVD recording of this event. How is this not a win/win? The Ticket throws the out of town/unavoidably detained P-1 a bone, and makes a little money while doing so. If <i>Full Disclosure</i> can (continue to) sell, then so can this, right?<br /><br />Then again, maybe they've considered this and decided against it - I guess we'll never know.deezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450207819865465357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-78013750784919779502014-01-22T20:24:53.432-06:002014-01-22T20:24:53.432-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.deezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450207819865465357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-18843378181035298432014-01-22T11:27:15.255-06:002014-01-22T11:27:15.255-06:00They also mentioned the show True Detective and Al...They also mentioned the show True Detective and Alexandra Daddario's scene on that show.

I think Grubes brought it up, and Danny followed with a "yeah, where's Greggo? Is he not there...what..he went home?" Mike and Corby should have said ,at the first of that segment, that Greggo had left for the day for personal reasons.slinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03514615546479356807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-75961769106790563452014-01-20T12:25:15.347-06:002014-01-20T12:25:15.347-06:00You're right about THL from 2006-07; Greggo wa...You're right about THL from 2006-07; Greggo was a hinderance.

The last year of Greg Williams's tenure on that show was embarrassing. You could tell something was very wrong and the joint was headed for a bad end and I was glad when they finally gave him the boot. I can't say whether this show is better than it was from 1994 to 2004 or thereabouts, but it's better than it was during most of my listening during the Greggo Era.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-52827931889123055922014-01-20T01:26:36.324-06:002014-01-20T01:26:36.324-06:00Man, I loved that!

Been some time ...Oh look, the moron troll is back. Been some time since it last reared its pathetic head. <br /><br />@304<br />No one said anything about THL or The Ticket shaking in their boots. Not even close. So, please, either address the actual things said, and not in a way that misrepresents others opinions in order to bolster your own. Thanks in advance. I'm going to assume you either don't read comments very carefully or you're in some way or another incapable of doing so. For your benefit, here's a brief summary: <br /><br />The ratings book under discussion, as of this moment, IS an outlier. All here seem to agree on this point. However, said book doesn't appear to be caused by dry dock, the signal switch, or anything external or abnormal to a regular ratings period. This caught the attention of some commenters and Plainsman. Also, the two shows with the hours lost to ESPN happen not to be the two drive time shows. If there is/are a weak link(s) in Ticket programming (or at least likely shows to have inroads made against them) it would be Norm and BaD, the two shows in question vis-a-vis the book under discussion. This, to many of us, is interesting. Does it have meaning in the bigger picture/long term? Who knows. But it's interesting and worth keeping an eye on nonetheless. It is also worth discussing, and so, conjecturing, as to why this occurred and what might it mean. That's what a combox is for. The mere fact that you use B&S vs. THL as an example of our supposed claim that THL and The Ticket is "shaking in their boots" shoots your credibility to smithereens. Anyone who follows this site in the most cursory manner knows we find B&S to be the proverbial fly on the back of the 800 pound gorilla (and no I'm not talking about Jabari).<br /><br />The upshot: Please at least know what your criticizing before you click the publish button. Else you come off like a village atheist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-36910483288419064532014-01-19T12:34:33.942-06:002014-01-19T12:34:33.942-06:00Pretty sad stuff, East Texas.
