Will is from Sherman so he has probably been a P1 for years, wonder if he has gone after the Ticket before this though, I don't follow him.

Yeah, maybe he has a point. But taking this sort of stuff so seriously is kind of ridiculous to me.MaroonDontRun said:Go read Will's full tweet if you haven't.Ag CPA said:
When the Ticket and Fox News worlds collide.This song. Let me talk about this song for a minute.

Yesterday I listened to a “sports talk” radio station in Dallas sneer at this song. Act like it’s typical country hokum. Speculate that @AintGottaDollar is an industry k-pop creation. The only time they gave him a high five…
He absolutely nails the Corby world view (and folks like him) and how vacant it is.
Well done.
Meh. I don't think people are taking it too serious.
Corby had an opinion...people can have theirs, and it's ok to discuss them.
I just think it's ironic. Corby has a long running segment where he makes fun of formulaic country music. It's a hilarious bit. But then this guy goes viral with a unique/original song, which resonates with a lot of people across the country and he dogs it too.
The industry plant angle is also pretty silly, seeing as how it's a little conspiracy theorist, and pretty uneducated and ignorant (if you've followed this guys story at all)...but those are the type of people Corby routinely imitates/mocks if they disagree with his opinion.
Turnabout is fair play. If you're gonna dish out some ribbing, gotta take it too. Doesn't mean it's a big deal...just a little tone deaf

If Jason Isabell would have done it, it would be a classic
yeah...this is a big bag of meh.
yes, corby's an idiot (they all actually kinda piled on to the speculation it was a plant btw).
but this is more will cain clutching pearls (no way...)

Big news. You could tell he wasn't happy and he definitely seemed extra snarky towards Matt all the time. He's a great producer and bit contributor, but definitely not host material IMO.
So is Blake teaming up with Dan and Jake somehow?
Another dent in the armor for the little ticket.

Agreed. Probably my favorite producer of all time (sirois was better but he was more like a host). And I agree that he's not host material, although I think he'd probably be better than mino and Sean once he got some reps under his belt. So maybe he is host material these days.
The ticket sucks. There I said it. Even the musers aren't as fun without the other shows being the same.
blaake speeiunnn
I wonder what happened with Blake? Weren't they discussing Picks With Friends a week or so ago and kinda planning it for this year? Seems like an odd convo to have if he had turned in his notice. Maybe I'm not recalling that conversation correctly.

i heard a couple minutes with gordon on with donovan and mat. gordo talked over mat and acted like he wasn't there. its like they've already decided his 90 day review or whatever the radio equivalent is
Between The Ticket and The Freak we've now ended up with two spare stations, even if the Dumb Zone joins The Freak. Need a PGA/LIV-type merger to get things back to where they were.

I'm guessing the station pretty much runs on nostalgia at this point because with literally endless listening entertainment options you've got a large portion of posters on this thread listening in daily to Mino and whatever other spare they teamed him up with. I can think of no other reason to subject yourself to that.
Just listened to the segment. Entertaining and pretty tame compared to many of the fun with country music segments.
Will Cain (whoever that is) seems to be taking it pretty serious with his overly dramatic tweet.AgGrad99 said:

I mean, I guess. Didn't seem more serious than Corby, who he was referencing. And it doesn't change his point at all...but I guess cry/lol
on the blake jones departure....more terrible mismanagement. probably lost their best producer (arguably, next to fernando). and fernando is gone as soon as the musers are; maybe sooner
what baffles me the most throughout this is putting monty in a producer chair. on the one hand, he's too fat and mobility impaired to do things like go to oxnard. but, he's head and shoulders above mino and sean bass in terms of being on air. so then dan bennett gets a win because he has a host-like person on a producer budget.
what a cf.

I put Monty over Matt. I'm in the Matt is terrible camp.
Cumulus, as a proxy for the rest of terrestrial radio, is dying. At this point they only care about drive time because that's what brings in the dollars. Producers and board ops are replaceable in corporate's eyes, and they're the ones telling DB and Cat to cut back.
The Oliver Anthony stuff is such a Rorschach test for the brain-dead on both sides of the political divide. 48 hours after his work became popular on streaming sites, I found multiple "Right Wing Watch" twitter accounts declaring him a "white supremacist" simply because right wing accounts like Jack Posobiec (an idiot in his own right) were pumping him and his music. And of course, that led to right wing listeners feeling obligated to play goalie for Oliver Anthony because left wing accounts hated him so much.
It's all very predictable and tedious and yeah, it's not surprise that a simpleton like Corby immediately read his cues. The whole affair just goes to show that none of these people (left or right) have any sort of real virtues. (Truthfully, if you read his lyrics, it's the same anti-establishment folk theme we've seen many times before from predominantly left-wing musicians.) They've just taken college sport "t-shirt fan" logic and applied it to anything remotely political.
I mean, his music is...okay? He has a great voice but his lyrics are pretty mundane. What's really fascinating is that THIS nondescript guy has become such a flashpoint.

$373k now with about 4500 subscribers. Interesting that they picked up around 1600 subscribers since the end of July. That's a 55% increase fairly well after the news about them leaving broke.Hincemm said:
side note...dumb zone up to about $240k annual gross.
TRO hearing already occured this AM, but ultimately delayed until next Tuesday. However, the mediation is still tomorrow, and this could all resolve by then
No podcast until at least next week, but if they settle tomorrow everything is a go

Been listening on and off today, has anyone mentioned Blake is out?

His last day was Friday. Did an Irish exit.
Great to see those numbers. I hope their retention stays strong.
I understand that, but usually they address it on air if personnel changes, and wondering it they did.Mozart Paintings said:WC87 said:

monty talked about it.
will be interesting to see if/when he goes to the dumb zone.
i'm guessing blake also saw how cumulus treated dan and jack and wanted the f out of there.

seeing the 'dumb zone' in court documents makes me giggle.
Looks more like something D&J agreed to rather than court ordered? End result is the same, but I think the difference in journey is important at this phase.80085 said:

could be. I hope it ends quickly. I had to resort to car talk reruns this afternoon
