Held onto this one for about 3.5 weeks, right about the time KT signed on to rejoin. They held it super close knit until all contracts were signed, and I asked literally twice a week at hoops club. Super excited for my guys.

All that for a non drivetime slot on a station that hasn't been relevant since 1994?

Wait. They aren't in drive time, what the hell is all the buildup for.

THEY WANTED CREATIVE CONTROL !@!@!@11!one

So is the Russ Martin Show just cutting back to 5-7?

I don't think I understand the Eagle's format anymore...

THEY DON'T WANT TO BE TOLD THEY HAVE TO TALK SPORTS!!!!

I think the bigger story is that Krystina Ray is joining them, I kind of thought that she was inline to be the next Julie at the Ticket.

I'm not sure being the next in line to do ticket tickers is a higher career slot (granted, I know nothing about radio).

Meh. I thought their show on the Fan was the perfect ratio of sports and non-sports. I'll check it out, but I'm not sure what to expect. At least KT is back on the air; that's the real story here

Anyone listen? I only caught bits and pieces. I heart radio blows and I don't care to listen to a whole song every break

Heard about an hour of it. Was pretty good. Reminded me of them in their first stint with the fan

The Ticket sure took the steam out of their first day on the air.

I thought the same.

I want to listen but man the commercials are waaaaay to long.

Same total amount of commercials, just fewer/longer breaks. 2-20 on 10 off vs 3 13.3 on 6.7 off. I prefer the longer segments

I assumed that is what they were doing but it sure doesn't feel like the segments are longer. It felt like they would talk for 10-15 min and then go to commercial for 5.

They're behind every ticket host + Jake in terms of any "top sports radio personalities in Dallas" list

Literally don't know one person that listens to them

That's not what actual listening metrics say.

---

The highest rated fan show usually finishes behind the lowest rated ticket show for the last several years.

---

"In the fourth quarter PPM ratings (encompassing Sept. 12-Dec. 4), The Fan beat 1310 The Ticket, 5.5 to 3.3, in the prime time (M-F 6a-7p) of the coveted demographic (Men 25-54).

In Mornings, The Fan's Shan & RJ beat The Ticket's Dunham & Miller, 5.2-3.5.

In Middays, The Fan's mix of Ben & Skin/KC Masterpiece beat The Ticket's Norm Hitzges/BaD Radio, 6.6-3.2.

In Afternoons, The Fan's G-Bag Nation beat The Ticket's Hardline, 4.6-3.1.

In sports radio, ratings for the month of December (when flagship shows typically take vacation) are known as the "Holiday Book" and are less vital. That said, The Fan's edge grew even wider, up to a whopping 6.1-2.6.

Bottom line: For the key three-month period of football season, The Ticket which forever dominated the demo with first-place finishes was 10 overall to The Fan's No. 3. (For what it's worth, 97.1 The Eagle is No. 1)."

So what you're saying is the highest rated ticket show finished behind the lowest rated fan show?
