So, maybe Troy is taking his kids to school at 7:55 or leaving the AMPS or in some other situation where he has to be on the phone. I feel sure he has an office at his house (not the one he just sold in Preston Hollow) and he should have access to technology. Unless he is in his car.<br /><br />http://bdcast.com/products/audio-data-links/marti/rpu-remote-broadcast<br /><br />I think this is what I heard one day when the behind-the-scenes wasn't working and someone on the THL did not know they were broadcasting asked about the Marti working. (It was a case of we could hear them but they could not hear the station.)<br /><br />Also, a quick google search showed that an ISDN line could be plugged into Troy's computer and he could speak into his mike.<br /><br />(In another off-base comment - I think WBAP had a report one time that the guy who invented Marti was from the Dallas area. But I may be mistaken.)<br /><br />Again, I may be mistaken on all of the above.

I have never understood why in a segment they care a lot about, they have not been able to find a better way to interview Troy. Maybe have him always call on a land line? Maybe if he insists on calling in on a cell, have him sit in 1 place and not be moving around? It's ridiculous.<br /><br />I thought for sure he would be in studio today since he is in town and they had Buck up there, but nope. Another awful phone call.

Full-show podcasts are OK for L.A. and SF but not for DFW? I don't get it.

First off, the day's highlights are not consistently being uploaded to the SportsDay app. And nothing gets uploaded when the Stars are playing. But his overall attitude is that he is against making the shows available for the fans immediately after they air because he thinks less people will tune in live. I feel if the shows were available for streaming or download immediately afterwards, it would actually increase your overall listener base and obviously make the fans very happy. People will get hooked on it and they will tune in live. Monetize it like other successful podcasts do.
