The Ticket playing Angels games is just plain weird. It makes a lot more sense to play the Top 10 or Yahoo (or CBS or whatever the network is right now) than Angels/Giants or Angels/Tigers or whoever it is. Yes they're a team in our division, but what kind of listenership is that going to have? What good does this do advertisers? Who's going to tune in an Angels game other than an Angels fan, and they're already going to be streaming the local feed or watching it on dish.birqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766002266258702470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-5967130388393493432012-07-03T15:58:50.582-05:002012-07-03T15:58:50.582-05:00I can assure you Gordon is making fun of a new sal...I can assure you Gordon is making fun of a new sales guy in the cluster.

You do know that the Rangers are fending off the Angels for the division lead, yes? They play a sport called "baseball." It's a sport that SPORTS RADIO 1310 The Ticket follows rather closely these days. Also, you have a blog dedicated to a station and you think you might've heard of one of its on-air hosts (Bruce Levine)? You're pulling our legs, right? C'mon, you must be. <br /><br />On another note, I don't get the whole Donnie's learning to swim thing going on. It reminds me of some of my male professors in college. They would get real cutesy/little boy acting when they'd announce to the class, for what I can only guess to be "I'm so educated and brilliant and yet I'm a klutz in every other aspect in life, and isn't this cute!?!?!" purposes that they just figured out how to operate the weed whacker, and that they did it all by their lil' lonesome self. In other words what's the big deal. Great. Donnie's learning to swim. White men can't jump, blacks don't swim. Whoopie. It is bad, not BaD, radio if you ask me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-59447004683678497292012-07-03T09:02:28.413-05:002012-07-03T09:02:28.413-05:00yes Plainsman, they are playing the Angels game. ...yes Plainsman, they are playing the Angels game.

I thought I heard the promo say that "we're spying on the" Angels? A's? Some team that we're interested in beating was going to be one of the teams on the broadcast.

Hopefully the same can be said of your commenters. <br /><br />The Ticket did have a host like the one you speak of: Rocco Pendola. And while you weren't around during his brief-ish but tempestuous stint, believe me when I say that he did not, in any way, fit in with the gang. However, your postulating begs the following two questions: Why would this happen? Who would be replaced?<br /><br />Now perhaps, assuming you're onto something here, Gordon is "preparing" for what very well might be the new (and local/regional) nighttime and/or weekend programming that could be coming our way by means of the CBS merger/partnership that's on its way? I've heard nothing whatsoever during any show that gives the slightest indication that a host or hosts might be moving on. Moreover, the same can be said for any indication whatsoever that another voice is on his or her way. If this were the case, then the only way I can see it happening is if they cram in another show between The Musers and Norm or Norm and BaD. This, of course, would mean the shaving off of hours from The Musers and possibly The Hardline. And I can't imagine advertisers or the CTO being particularly keen on losing those dollars - as a new show would no doubt bring in less advertising revenue.ausgangnoreply@blogger.com
