You are right, Shaggy, but it doesn't take away the fact that they are p.m. drive and yet are now the lowest rated of all the Varsity shows. It's been said a million times in these comment sections but it bears repeating: That THL is so unprepared, devoid of meaningful and original content, has a grasp on current events like that of a pre-teen, and STILL is number one in their time-slot (though only vs. the other two sports stations--recall there was a time when they beat all shows, regardless of genre)....says everything about their competition and nothing about the quality of their show.

I admit that I punch out after Mike's Mind which is the last bit of original commentary on the ticket for the day. I have to wake up early for work and gear just about everything from the Sea Bass uber Ticker through WTDS. It's become obvious that the drive time crew's idea of prep is simply listening to the other hosts throughout the day and retreading it for their own presentation. There is nothing original, either sports or news related, even when something breaks mid-day.

Yesterday, Corbles and Dan Paul were talking about the Cowboys and Danny asked why the Cowboys threw to Dez so much, and did not target Cole Beasley as much. Of course the drivetime show did not have an answer to said question, but today on BaD Radio Bob explained very clearly why they threw so many times to Dez. Bob works his tail off and is prepared daily to provide top notch content. The drivetime show, not so much.

Know that DFW numbers are generated by no more than 300 folks who have a PPM. Some stations in smaller markets have left subscribing to the ratings since diaries are even less reliable as listerners overstate how long they listen.<br /><br />Radio advertising is a $18B/year industry in the USA, TV advertising is a $75B industry and both are on a foundation of quicksand known as Nielsen data. Yesterday (Monday), notice how Nielsen had to retract their data regarding the loss of ESPN subscribers? This wasn't the first time which their numbers were questioned as networks went after them in February.<br /><br />http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/nielsen-now-removes-its-november-cable-estimates-espn-networks-safe-for-now.html<br /><br />Let's also consider that the Nielsen data also states that while The Ticket is #1, The Fan is #4 overall. Plus The Fan is #1 with those age 18-34. Remember, ratings mean even less if the listeners don't listen to the commercials and use those products/services.

[like your Greggo throw back name] I see a lot of negative comments toward Corby and the Hardline. People, if your truly tired of the show, you're going to HAVE to just quit listening. They will be forced to make a change, and maybe bring in something fresh. THL has kind of become the Tom Landry of the Ticket. Was great back in it's day, but has stayed around too long and become stale, and is pretty much being kept around out of sentiment. They need a Jerry Jones to put it out of it's misery.slinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03514615546479356807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-24723779376371936102016-10-31T11:53:57.713-05:002016-10-31T11:53:57.713-05:00Thanks for the fake Rhynes play by play link Shagg...Thanks for the fake Rhynes play by play link Shaggy.
