With you. That phrase is overused these days. Others that tweak me:

  • Corby's overuse of hyperbole "One million percent!"
  • George dramatically saying "the National Football League" instead of just "the NFL"

Corby's, "that's good stuff" transition line to a break. That's annoying

I feel sorry for Bob. I can't even listen to him anymore as Corby kills the show. I want Sportssturm not Rolling Stones Corby.

He's already gone the substack route. I wonder how long it takes for him to see D&J making it on podcasts to just to the same.

Full independence to do what you want, no Corby, or acting interested in WTDS with Sean and Mino, or fart jokes from Davey sounds pretty appealing.

WTF is The Spot?
KLUV 98.7. There was some legal issue with them using the name "K Love" so they changed. Same format.

I didn't know that. Well damn…it's like part of my childhood just died. I feel like anyone who grew up in this area in the 80s had to endure a back-and-forth between KLUV and WBAP as a kid while in the car with their folks.
Here's an article about it: KLUV Is Now '98.7 The Spot' As EMF Gains K-Love Branding Rights In Dallas.
Quote:

The rebranding is reportedly the result of an intellectual property swap between Audacy and Educational Media Foundation, which was part of EMF's purchase of WTSS Buffalo and WLFP Memphis. When the $15.5 million sale was announced in April, the two parties agreed to an intellectual property assignment that was not included in the public-facing asset purchase agreement filed with the FCC.

With Audacy having the rights to KLUV, EMF has been unable to utilize its "K-Love" branding in the Dallas market, where it owns KYDA (101.7), which airs the Christian broadcaster's "Air1" network. With KLUV now identifying as "98.7 The Spot," EMF has the option to launch a "K-Love" affiliate in the market.

Bob's Twitter feed recently has been more despondent than usual.

Reality hit today. I rarely listen live anymore but on victory Monday I instinctively open SportsDay app at 1pm and try to rewind 50 minutes and it's this generic ****

I tend to tune out the most during Cowboys segments, especially as the day moves along and I've already heard more about the previous game than I actually care about. It's not going to help when the hosts aren't guys that I would normally listen to about any other topic. My listening between 10-3 has been almost 0%.

I'm with you, especially the not listening much between 10-3.

I was begging for Norm to retire for years, definitely a careful what you wish for based on his replacement. And boy do I miss the Hang Zone.

Dan plus Bob/Jake always brought a fresh sarcasm-heavy perspective to cowboy Mondays mixed in with smart analysis

Same here. Turn off Musers when the corner ends. Actually focus on work from 9:30-12. Then turn on Dumb Zone podcast at noon - it's certainly not the same as cross talk leading into the HZ open, but it's a decent enough facsimile.

Whoever it is that runs the top 10 needs to be canned. Here's a run down of the available segments from this week:

  • The Hardline- Cowboys defense was the story of the night against the Giants
  • The Hardline- Monday afternoon NFL audio Week 1 recap; Terry Bradshaw struggles with highlights
  • The Hardline- the awesome story of Cowboys Safety Juanyeh Thomas
  • The Sweet Spot- Cowboys @ Giants audio & observations
  • The Sweet Spot- Around the NFL Week 1
  • The Invasion- Cowboys Calls
  • The Invasion- Cowboys offense doesn't give away too much in Giants win
  • The Musers- 840 Bit; Fake Jerry enjoys the season opening win over the Giants
  • The Musers- Gordo's Cowboys observations after a 40-0 shutout of the NY Giants
  • The Musers- Cowboys smother Giants to open the 2023 Season
  • The Hardline- Friday Fun; Corby & his son bond over a panty commercial
  • The Hardline- Feelings on the Cowboys season opener in New York
  • The Hardline- CFB Week 2; Longhorns at Crimson Tide
  • The Sweet Spot- The NIT-Brake
  • The Sweet Spot- Previewing Cowboys-Giants Week 1 matchup
  • The Invasion- UT @ Bama this weekend
  • The Invasion- I Got One; Most Dangerous Plays for the weekend
  • The Musers- 840 Bit; fake hologram Jerry Jones
  • The Musers- The Emergency Brake of the Week
  • The Musers- former Chiefs TE & HOF'er Tony Gonzalez
  • The Hardline - Grapefest
  • The Hardline - NFC predictions
  • The Hardline - The College Football Blowhard
  • The Hardline - The NFL Sunday Ticket conundrum
  • The Invasion - Nick Bosa set the floor for Micah
  • The Invasion - Picks With Friends
  • The Musers - 840 bit...Talent agent Chester Musso
  • The Musers - An update on Jub's acting career
  • The Musers - Brian Jones - CBS Sports
  • The Musers - Cowboys HOF-er Troy Aikman
  • The Sweet Spot - Rangers feels have been crushed
  • The Sweet Spot - Send News to Monty
  • The Sweet Spot - The Bosa contract and Micah
  • The Hardline- Joel Klatt talks CFB Week 1
  • The Hardline- Optimist Bob may not be able to save the Texas Rangers season
  • The Hardline- Snake Pit; does Dave or Bob know DJ Ringgenberg better?

I'm guessing they have to pick some from every show, but man. Not a single "Muse in the News" or "Gordo's Corner." No "E-News" or "Snake Pit." Do they want that only to be available live so people still tune in? Meanwhile, they have every single show's multiple segments on the Cowboys wherein they all say the exact same thing. Anyone here interested in two segments on Nick Bosa's contract?

It's like they are intentionally trying to make it hard to hear their most popular stuff.

People would tune in live specifically for Snake Pit or E-News? That's what usually makes me tune out

Signed up for Sturm's substack. Don't think I will listen to the ticket outside of the morning show going forward. Between dumb zone podcast and the content on substack, there isn't much left on the little ticket. Death of a station in slow motion.

Yep

I'm honestly surprised it's lasted this long. Through my kids I'm around a lot of teenagers. None of them listen to the radio. I don't know anyone in my professional circles that listens to traditional radio; podcasts, playlists, sirius channels sometimes. Spotify, Apple, Pandora, etc have all taken MASSIVE bites out of the apple. I'd bet the average Ticket listener age has gone up by close to exactly one year every year, meaning they're not adding new listeners and younger followings year in year out.

They're a dead man walking and the date they finally fall down and disappear will likely depend on the Musers.

This thread is like a litmus test of how bad something has to get before people say enough and find an alternative. It's pretty interesting.

It hit me this morning when Jub said something in a Dan voice. I realized I never listen to the ticket outside of the Musers. Podcasts and music have completely replaced the Ticket during the drive home, and I have no interest in the generic crap in the middle of the day. No disrespect.

Well their ratings have a long way to go before the ticket is dead.

As long as the Musers stick around the overall ratings won't fall through the floor, although I wonder how far they will fall if nobody is listening between drivetimes anymore.

I'm pretty naive on ratings but isn't it based on percentage of people listening (share)? I'd be curious if their over all number of listeners has fallen through the years even though their percentage of listeners has stayed flat or climbed.

Earlier this year, before Dan and Jake left I believed the stationed had the best #s they have ever had. I think it's come down a bit since then but still would be considered very strong.

If you don't mind waiting a bit, search for Youtube user SportsSesh (i think that's it) and if you don't mind waiting a day he posts something called "The Ticket Steak" which is basically highlights of each day. He'll post it late at night/early morning. The first hour of each one is O-Deck, Muse, 840 bit, and the Corner.

Here's the one from last Friday.

That doesn't answer my question though. If ratings are based on a percentage of listeners your listener pool may be shrinking but your percentage can be growing.

Any idea if the ratings are based on percentage or total listeners? And is the total listener number shrinking like I presume it would be?
