It's kickasser than mine. But I don't begrudge him his good fortune, and I liked the story, too. Even though I'll concede there's a fratboy or two bottled up inside him, and thanks to Grubes's drop library, lovingly tended by Jake, he has the reputation as a braggart. But I never get the feeling that I'm being scoreboarded. It's his life. He does some interesting things and runs into some interesting people, and accompanies some interesting drunks and joins them betimes.

As the promo use to go, I never listened to BaD radio but here recently I have actually found myself clicking over and staying. I guess my desire to actually hear some sports talk lead me there. All summer I longed for the days of the Hardline of old who were going to talk Rangers for multiple segments and if we didn't like it we had options, buddy. Well, now I find myself exercising my options a lot more than I use to and it appears others are starting to slowly do the same albeit not in mass but it will be interesting to keep an eye on as Mike continues to age/loose interest.

...This is from Barry's DMN column:<br /><br />Radio daze<br /><br />In the wake of the news that Cumulus, parent company of Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket, is taking over operations at ESPN 103.3 FM, the station turned in boffo ratings for August.<br /><br />ESPN’s numbers weren’t quite Ticket-like, but August was one of the station’s best months in 103.3's time on the air. Meanwhile, 105.3 FM The Fan was a distant third.<br /><br />Among all listeners it was: Ticket (2.8); ESPN (2.5); Fan (0.9).<br /><br />In the all-important demographic of men 25-54, the lifeblood of sports talk, it was: Ticket (5.8); ESPN (4.5); Fan (1.7).<br /><br />In my favorite category, men 25-54 weekdays 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., when each station’s heavy hitters are on duty, it was: Ticket (7.7), ESPN (4.4), Fan (2.0).<br /><br />The highest rated hour of the week easily was the Ticket’s Dunham & Miller at 8 a.m. with a 10.2.<br /><br />The top hour at ESPN was noon when Fitzsimmons & Durrett scored 5.7.<br /><br />Best hour at The Fan was 6 p.m. when Gavin Dawson and Chris Arnold scored 3.0.Shaggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-66238965249089999522013-09-09T13:12:58.083-05:002013-09-09T13:12:58.083-05:00Plainsman - I'm the one who sent the ratings n...Plainsman - I'm the one who sent the ratings numbers and neglected to credit Richie Whitt's column, and for that I apologize.

Search "signal" in the little Blogger box and check out numerous detailed posts on this.<br /><br />What improved signal should The Ticket use? Well, if there's nothing else available, as everyone seems to have convinced themselves, HOW ABOUT FRACKING 104 POINT FRACKING 1? Major market sports-talk stations have a history of improving their signals by moving -- but Cumulus is making The Ticket's worse. <br /><br />Pretty hard to swallow.<br /><br />The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-34069154936904670532013-09-09T03:22:00.648-05:002013-09-09T03:22:00.648-05:00Bc:

Any idea what an FM frequency would cost, and oh yeah, have you noticed Cumulus is at it's ownership limit? I get that you think they should do something. But what? From what I'm told, KLIF actually makes pretty good money. WBAP is a top biller, even i93 bills millions of dollars a year. If you rearrange deck chairs, do you think KLIF survives on 1310's weak spotty signal? Will the i93 listeners tune in to music on a weak and spotty AM signal? This is where I disgaree with DA. People tune in for content. Might they prefer it on FM, sure. But it's funny how KTCK's death knell was sounded when 103.3 showed up with sports on FM. It was going to kill the Ticket. Then when 105.3 switched to sports. TWO fm sports stations, that was the end of KTCK as we know it. And guess what, hasn't happened yet. ESPN got so tired of trying to kill the Ticket that they surrendered lock stock barrell and programming to their former enemy. <br />I too think they could make more money with a better signal. But the question -becomes how much more, and at what cost for that signal. If you've got a plan, email John Dickey. But realize that Clear Channel or CBS isn't going to just sell them a frequency cause John and Lew ask them to. Now if Cumulus buys CBS, all bets are off. And I think that's part of why that might happen. Economies of scale, and they get on a more even keel versus clear channel. At that point, I might see possibilities, but right now, no. bcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-75840405021754590412013-09-08T17:13:28.917-05:002013-09-08T17:13:28.917-05:00Thanks 949.
