My Ticket Confession

About Me

The Plainsman: Tiny KTCK Coverage Area, Texas; I am one of many gentleman listeners to The Ticket. I do not know anyone at The Ticket. I have never called into a program on The Ticket. I pop into a remote or station event from time to time but have never met any Ticket employee. I am not a radio industry insider. I am just a guy who spends a lot of time in a vehicle and whose employer doesn't tell him to turn off the radio in his work area.
