My Ticket Confession

A home for those who love almost everything about The Ticket (1310 AM, 96.7 FM, Dallas-Fort Worth), and who would like to discuss -- respectfully and fondly -- their thoughts on how (and whether) to eliminate the "almost."

MTC Extends Healing Thoughts and Generalized but Nonetheless Sincere and Intense Best Wishes to Justin Montemayor

[NOTE: Today's gingers were produced by Google's CoPilot AI Image Creator program in response to the input "pho-torealistic picture of a beautiful female doctor with red hair." At first it refused the request, but after a moment it seemed to relent and gave me the customary four choices. Each appears highly qualified to deal with current circumstances.]

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.
