I know they've speculated about "why can't we recreate the Ticket online/streaming" and I could see them giving this a try, it doesn't take too many monthly subscribers at $10/month to support a small team, then throw in some sponsorship/ad $. Not sure if I would pay or not but a theoretical uncensored Dan and Jake could be pretty entertaining.

It takes quite a bit of money to do great podcasts.

i would pay $5-10 for the first month for sure to at least check it out. they are my favorite show, i am listening unless someone is bothering me with work BS. if you remove hang zone i'm basically down to just the gordo segments on the musers.

once again, i've skipped checking this space during dry dock and all hell breaks loose. i thought i would pop in to see everyone rejoicing the Musers were back.

They could do well with a podcast. Both have a strong following and could live off ad revenue.

If they get The Freak mid day show and they get rid of Ben & Skin I'd switch in the afternoons.

this was my answer but i don't see ben and skin leaving. i guess they could move time slots...but do you get rid of the speakeasy? seems little early (unless you merge julie in).

i wonder if the wild card here is the fan, tbh. move HZ against the HL....that would be delicious.

Actually that would be great. Put Julie back with Jake & Dan

Can't get over how fast the Ticket is falling apart, not sure it can (or should) be saved at this point.

I've been listening since 2004 and the future doesn't look too good to me. Looks like i'll be listening a LOT less after 10am.
Bob and Corby together has been OK but hasn't done too much for me. Adding Davey hasn't done anything for me. I've had a decreasing interest in The Hardline over the last few months.
I like Donnie but no one else there fits very well with him. I think a good idea would be for Donnie to have a 10-noon show where he brings in a different friend/colleague/coworker every day/week. It would be "Donnie and Friends".
I have no interest in listening to what Sean says for more than 5 seconds.
Monty and Mino aren't terrible...but if that's the best you have to offer, that really says something.

Just got an alert in the SportsDay app. Have they mentioned it on-air?

McDowell and Kemp failed to agree to new contracts with the station after months of negotiations, according to a spokesperson for The Ticket. The spokesperson added that Donovan Lewis and Sean Bass would fill the noon to 3 p.m. slot previously held by The Hang Zone.

Hopefully the bold part is temporary while they figure things out (or it refers to what's been happening so far).

I'm told Corby's wife and Dan Bennett's wife are very close friends. I don't think Cat has that much power when it comes to Drive-time talent.

F!

They obviously have a plan together as Jake is likely not in position to take a long hiatus without something locked up.

Rumors are saying Dan and Jake wanted digital media rights, ie own the podcast of their shows.

Not having a plan to keep Sirois was screwup #1. The other was letting some of these other trash weekend shows go too long. That is your developmental league and they gave crap like Country Force way too long.

I thought his wife makes bank. He might be in a better position than most

She may make bank but she might also be feeling the stay-home mom calling

Next segment is about NIL… specifically about Ags and whether NIL "crumbled the team"

Ben & Skin facilitated the whole ticket takeover at that station. I'd guess they are pretty safe. So much so I'd assume they picked their time slot when it got thrown together.

his wife is a senior business development manager for APL Logistics

I'm sure they are safe in some slot but iHeart and Mike aren't going to be sympathetic if they have the opportunity to bring the HZ over and put the first nail in the Ticket's coffin.

I cant think of two people on the Ticket I would rather hear less talk about A&M than Corby and Mino.

---

Not listening right now, so curious about their source material. They running with the $30m Sliced Bread rumor? So they really think NIL was the majority reason that class "crumbled"? Did they study the remaining roster to find the main core of that class is still at A&M? Did they discuss Chris Marshall ALSO getting dismissed from Ole Miss?

When a reporter at SEC Football Media Days asked Texas A&M fifth-year senior wide receiver Ainias Smith to diagnose the program's recent shortcomings despite the talent of its recruits and the state of its facilities, Smith identified...individualism, including through the pursuit of NIL deals

But they're so bad at radio.

I like them quite a bit over the years. Thought the ticket missed an opportunity to get them full time years ago.

No one finishes last in ratings better.
