Rightfully so, the product has steadily devolved IMO.Musers - Same as ever, radio goldNorm - Great analysis, but has always been a tune out for meBaD - Borderline tune out already, a month of Dan and Donnie will be a dead zoneHardline - Pretty much unlistenable

I have no idea if it's any better or any worse than it used to be but I don't get why some of you keep listening if it's such an ### whip. I also wonder how much of it is "good 'ol days" syndrome.

I don't listen... much.

Meh.They are really good in short doses, filling in or on Saturdays. There is no way I could listen to them everyday. Too chaotic, too much talking over themselves, too many phone calls. While I enjoy a segment on Madden ratings. I can't deal with 5 segments on "Are the Cowboys rebuilding or contending?" Punched out early before GAC. Back over to Bob-less BAD radio where it's more Dan, more Donnie, more Grubes, more Gribble and Rhads is keeping his distance. I can handle that.As for Ben and Skin I might tune in after Cowboy games and off and on during the Mavericks season, but I don't see giving them my P1 status anytime soon.
 
I was forced into listening to Bad Radio today at lunch with the Rangers game being on 103.3.

For the first 10 minutes, Dan (who is still unlistenable on the radio) and most everyone else ranted on how they just wanted the A&M to the SEC story to go away and how old that story is getting and how tired of that story they are. This was actually okay because I'm tired of that story too except for all the screaming and talking over each other that went on.

Then for the next hour or so of the show, Dan and crew find time to talk about nothing other than A&M going to the SEC.

So they complained about the story for 10 minutes. Then talked about it for an hour. Great radio. And a great reminder of why I don't listen to that show. See you next year Terrible Radio.

 
I've been tuning out after Gordo's Corner. Surely once the NFL/NHL seasons start the little Ticket will revert back to the bastion of radio we know and love.

 
I don't hold out hope for much sportsy talk these next few years.

-Cowboys are on a 3 year plan starting now. Zero expectations lead to little to discuss.

-Mavs have a 5 year grace period

-Rangers are solid and looking better

-Stars I think are still in Dallas and playing hockey on a field as a team? Maybe.

-College sports are none of these guys deal except OU football, and even that is fairly shaky.

It's a lot more fun when the Cowboys are setup to fail and watch the ensuing carnage.

Gordo is still Gordo and the only thing to really tune in for daily.

:goodposting: When I'm anywhere else, I scan stations to find the local rock stations. Love radio in Austin, LA, hell even Vermont had a cool station. But not here. 91.7 is about the only station I listen to anymore for music, and it really doesn't rock. It doesn't make any sense. You have four universities, plenty of local music scene, someone should be able to capitalize on this format.At least it's not Tejano.

When is this supposed to happen? I've never seen a station announce a format change in the future. Normally you just switch over and BAM! You get your ### whipped by Rascal Flats or some such.

Most of the time you never hear about it. But when you have a station that reads inside publications, and find it worthy enough to burn a segment, then you hear ahead of time.
 
Why do I hate Corby?

He burns the only segment I listen to today on how he is flying up to St Louis to see the Foo Fighters and is torn because he won't be able to see OU/FSU during the concert. What a ####### #####.

And this whole thing where Mike is playing the "we" card when discussing all things OU, is just stupid.

 
Non-Ticket News: I don't listen to Richie Whitt often over with Greggo, but I read his Sportatorium column often. No more. The Dallas Observer has killed their entire sports department. Looks like they will lean on Robert Wilonsky for their sports stuff.

Terrrrribbbllleeee.

 
Between DFW Quick getting the axe and the Observer cut backs I wonder if there is going to be anymore good light reading (non-newspaper)in print in DFW anymore.

For as simple as it was I liked DFW Quick - easy reading over lunch or a couple of beers if I am waiting at a bar for someone.

:goodposting: I make it a point to stop by Forever Young Records once a week to get an Observer, FW Weekly and DFW Quick when it was there. Good to just have around and flip through. I guess that is all going the way of all print media.
 
Ticket management needs to gets its head out of its rear. We get diamaond talk for every generic 6-1 game over Seattle in June. I get there are contracts and such with Friday Night football and post game Stars, but not even having a too late diamond talk after those contracted shows is cheap and inflexible. And please get rid of the darn Dan Patrick replay at 10 at night when all of the stories are literally yesterdays news. As bad as some of the SportingNews...I mean yahoo sports radio is at least that stuff is current.

Steve Czaban is better than a majority of the shows on the Ticket. He's much more entertaining than the Hardline and he at least mixes in some sports talk. The Ticket got into the Dallas market at the right time. D&M is pretty good, Norm is good, BAD is okay, but the Hardline blows. The station developed a good reputation and following long before the other stations got here. That's their saving grace. If they arrived after ESPN, they would be an afterthought.

While being first in the Dallas market with an "all sports" format helped, but the thing that wedged the gap was when someone around there realized that a station could not literally talk all sports 7 days a week 24 hours a day. I moved here 7-8 years ago and ESPN radio was still stuck in the we have break down that generic 6-1 Seattle game on every show because we are a "sports" talk station. the signature segment on every show but Norms is at best kinda sports at best. They were one of earliest stations in either a large market or a national level to be really be about 'guy" talk and that's their true advantage in establishing thier reputation.
 
They should have gone with a late night Diamond Talk, and pimped it all during the Stars post-game show. I understand that they have a contract and have to dance with the ones that brung ya, but people still wanted to talk baseball.

I agree with the Dan Patrick show. Noone wants to hear something that is taped at that time of night. Hell, put Jake and TC on 10-12 and let them do It's Just Banter on the air. I would tune into that before listening to Dan Patrick.

 
I say drop Dan Patrick for a call-in show that lets people request drops. I wouldn't listen to it for 2 hours straight, but it'd be awesome for about 5 minutes at a time.

I agree that a station shouldn't be 100 percent all sports talk. After a certain point there's gonna be things talked about numerous times. That being said, the Hardline is the biggest joke on the Ticket. Rhyner is a grumpy and arrogant rick with a P that needs to retire. Corby is nothing but a blowhard as well. Listening to them talk about sports is a joke. I'll give Rhyner a little on baseball, but other than that he should just keep his mouth shut.
 
I love the fact that the Cowboys win, Murray sets the team single game rushing record, and we are getting nothing but baseball talk.

Life is good in Rangerland.

 
What is wrong with Norm? I can't take much more Soul Patch. Going with Pandora until noon and Pacino is fired up.

 
I think I'm taking a Ticket vacation for a while. Don't care to hear about the Cowboys, nothing can be said about the Mavs and I just can't get into Stars hockey for a while.

Will probably still listen to Bob and Dan, but the Musers, Norm and The Hardline have lost a listener for a while.

Don't look now, but the Stars have the best record in the NHL. :o

Probably the best thing that can happen for the station right now. Starting to really feel the void left by no NBA. I haven't listened at all the last few days because I really don't want anymore Cowboy talk. This team is not really good or really bad, so that leaves them pretty boring to talk about.
 
I'm amazed the Stars are kicking tail with what I consider mediocre talent. I was prepared for a season of Stars "rebuilding" and I was completely wrong. I've had to stop needling my cube farm neighbor about Lettin' In, he's been awesome between the pipes. On a selfish note I like it better when the Stars are tanking so the tickets are cheaper when the Blackhawks come to town.

As for the Ticket, I've been tuned out for about 3 weeks or so. It seems every time I turn the radio on it's either a Ranger post mortem, a segment about how the Cowboys aren't that bad/good, or the Penn State scandal. I understand the Penn State scandal may be news and it kinda involves sports, but it's total kryptonite for me. As soon as it comes on my radio gets shut down for hours. I can find plenty of things in my own life to be sad/angry about, I don't need to hear that. The Ticket's seemingly wall to wall coverage of it is disappointing IMO.

Well, it looks like the Sportatorium is going to live, just not with Whitt writing. Looks like Wilonsky and other are going to fire it back up, and just do double duty for the Observer.
 
So I found out this weekend that my Dad actually listens to local sports radio. It's either the FAN or ESPN, not quite sure which one yet. I think it's the one with Galloway.

I have no interest in recommending The Ticket to him. I think he would just get frustrated with all the inside stuff and give me crap about even listening to it. Feels like when I got 1984 on cassette and kept it hid under my bed so my parents would not find it.

you can get seats 1 or 2 rows off the glass for nearly all home games for less than 50/ea. That is nuts. I don't know anything about hockey but it's fun to watch as long as you are close
