More local sports radio drama

My buddy sent me that last night. Couldn't believe Innes wasn't involved.

But seriously, how ****ing childish, doubly so letting it happen on the air.

Any of yall ever thought about getting into sports radio?

I'm wondering what the entry bar is. It's hard to imagine many of these local guys sitting down for a meeting with advertisers and gaining sponsors with their winning personalities.

As of Sep 9, 2020, the average annual pay for the Sports Talk Radio jobs category in the United States is $54,949 a year.

While ZipRecruiter is seeing annual salaries as high as $89,500 and as low as $18,000, the majority of salaries within the Sports Talk Radio jobs category currently range between $41,500 (25th percentile) to $59,500 (75th percentile) across the United States. The average pay range for a Sports Talk Radio job varies little (about $18,000), which suggests that regardless of location, there are not many opportunities for increased pay or advancement, even with several years of experience.

I have a friend who now has a show in Atlanta. He basically had to work his way up from doing all the reporter and sports flash work for one of the stations, to having a small show, to finally getting a regular show in a different city.

Of course, our sports radio scene doesn't lend itself much to advancement, considering they seem to prefer to snatch up whoever was most recently let go from the other stations when they need to fill a time slot.

I don't really research these guys outside just listening.

Today is how long it's been since I realized Braddock is a white.

I figured in today's climate you have to love it enough to basically volunteer unless/until you can bring in your own sponsors. But I don't know if other cities are as saturated with local sports talk as Houston is.

Adios Jayson Braddock

It was a battle between my heart and mind whether Jayson deserved his own thread.

I'm just amazed that a potato can have an on-air job for 10 years here. Braddock is a moron who may have somehow gotten some contacts inside the Texans organization but his football knowledge was crap.

for yearsssss I thought he was black. When I first saw that picture of him a couple years ago it all made sense.

And yet he keeps ranting in that twitter thread that you have to be a white male to make it in Houston sports radio. Guy has serious mental issues.

Maybe he'll start another Go Fundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jayson-braddock-needs-your-help

I've actually enjoyed Innes back on the air. He fits well on 97.5, having AJ as his PD is probably a good thing.
