Name The new ESPN Radio 1250 afternoon show...

[Chris Duel]

With all the lameass names for sports shows like "The Drive," "Fast Break," "Out of Bounds," etc...

We figured we'd ask YOU to come up with the name for the new afternoon show at ESPN Radio 1250 The Zone.

We start Monday February 11th from 5-7pm. I'll be on air with Jason Minnix, Dawn Murphy and YOU when you phone in.

So what do you think?

What should we call the show?

I'll read your ideas (even the slams) on the air Monday afternoon.

Thank God there is an alternative Sports show to listen to rather than The Ticket 760. Now I am not forced to listen to Dan Patrick in the morning or Mike Taylor in the afternoons. I give The Ticket six months before it dies.

Chris, do you have an internet link to listen to the show?

I listen to Talk Radio all day (760, 1200, Savage on 930, Ramsey, etc) and I like this new 1250 ESPN. The lady hosts (don't remember their names yet) are good imo. That racist Steven A. Smith is pretty funny too.

E's an opinionated S.O.B., that's why. That and he's a diehard Mavs fan. The same sh*t we run about his team, he says about ours. But, you should hear us shred his Mavs. It's not pretty. He still hasn't lived down the Warriors mess from last year. We won't let him.

Thanks for playing, though. We love doing it and it's been fun to see people gradually coming on board simply through word of mouth. Version 1.2 is being released to the web even as I type this so be sure to uninstall the old one and grab the new one this afternoon. The biggest new features--improved graphics and the ability to IM people in your room and IM the studio.

Yeah when I played yesterday playing in the same room with Jason was awesome. I just wish I had been able to IM them at THAT TIME, so I could explain who I was lol.

I always wanted to explain the reason my name runs together is because EA only allows 16 characters and not 17.

I wish i could change it a bit to one that sounds less retarded lol.

Anyone know a site to host audio files I have the files ready.

Sorry i kinda sucked today I waited like an hour to get on and forgot what i was upset about, DannyT was on hold also and did not get on.

Kori sounded good like she was meant for radio. i was hoping Peter burns and Tpark would call in but there is always Tuesday.

I was going to call out DizzG and TBNL but I lost my place when my phone beeped in (telemarketer).

I would like to call in everyday But I don't want to ruin the show. I am not sure If i want to be the local comedian or villain,

I need someone to take over Johnny Bottom-lines roll so i can have some confrontations and smack.

I will promote the Troll forum and ClubSpurs they are a great website also they need to be part of the Chris Duel phenomena.

[T Park]

Everytime I called the line was busy....

[Kori Ellis]

Mouse I can host the file for you on the SpursTalk server if you can send it to me on email.

Caught the first hour on the way home and liked it. CD, have BMP put another 9V in the transmitter, pretty weak signal at 1604 and 10 on the east side.

Hmmm....I need to give this some thought. Having a smack off with Mouse would be Epic.....and probably not bad radio....I'm torn. It's exciting to see the new station launch, and having Chris and Dawn and Johnny be a part of it. I don't know Jason, but I'm sure he's a quality person also.

Peter Burns we can rehearse the skit prior to the show!

[Chris Duel]

Thanks for all the kind words.

Bottomline (no, not Johnny Bottomline): KORI and MOUSE kicked ass. Kori was an outstanding guest and Mouse reestablished himself as the Greatest Fu*king Caller in The History of Sports Talk.

It's always been my philosophy that Spurstalk.com is not only our target audience, but also our primo source for show guests.

Having started back at WOAI and learning firsthand how message board sports fans are the most engaged, informed and passionate, I always wanted to do a sports show that accesses and compliments the WWW. SpursTalk.com has emerged as the best and it's cool to have so many of you participating in what we're constructing at ESPN 1250.

It's a work in progress and we'll continue to seek your input and participation.

Thanks to Kori, Mouse and Sports Anchors from EVERY TV station in town along with Richard Oliver from the Express-News and Tim Griffin from ESPN.com, I think we are one-for-one thusfar.

But hey, if you want to make a hater out of me, then fine...............the Spurs are on the downside of their "dynasty" and when Duncan retires, the Spurs won't be a contender for a looooonnnnngggg time because no self respecting NBA star wants to live in San Antonio.

hey, did the "other" sports station say anything about espn being in sa now? Any people or callers on the other one say anything like "nah, we're still sold on the ticket and are loyal listeners". I think that a lot of traffic got taken away from ticket.

From an insider's point of view, it never got brought up at all.
I mean, the worst thing a station can do is give free pub to a competitor. Even if it's to put them down.

KTSA has done a fair share of that over the years, and I'm sure it won't stop with ESPN.

WOAI is a very good station, and continues to dominate KTSA in the ratings each and every year. The same will go will the Ticket.

The problem that ESPN will have is not the programming. Which I believe it good programming, it's the fact that I don't think they will promote themselves enough.

Any the poster quoted said....I bet Ticket lost a lot of their share.
Truthfully, if our listeners don't read message boards, or didn't catch Jakle's article, they would have no idea that ESPN is in town.

Soon, by word of mouth, they may here, but you guys have more knowledge about the station than 80% of the San Antonio public.

If they wanted to make a big push they would have tactical marketing dollars spent to put up billboards in town, run commercials in Sports on TV....etc.

But, just like Ticket, the ESPN station is a part of a cluster of stations. And a Sports Station in San Antonio will always take a back seat to the bigger stations when it comes to marketing and promotions.

People are going to switch back and forth depending on what show they like best. Although, I'm still baffled why they would put Paul against Rome.

If anything, I would have put Paul from 9 to 11. Therefore kinda of giving them a local morning show.

Just my 2 cents.

Regardless, I still like working for the Ticket/WOAI!

[2centsworth]

I agree with Pete, ESPN has done a horrible job of promoting itself except for the efforts of Duehl.

Peter,

I was curious about advertising too. I wonder what they have planned in regards to TV/billboard advertising. As for beating out the Ticket 760 though, haven't the Ticket's ratings always been horrible? (Particularly the local shows). If that's the case, they will beat them out eventually - even just on word of mouth.

Is there a website that shows the ratings for radio? I've looked but couldn't find it. I've always wanted to confirm for myself that Chuck Parker is indeed the worst personality to ever go on the airwaves.

[T Park]

Paul Alexander every tuesday is gonna have Richard Oliver in studio and its a segment called Oliver's twist.

So theres another thing to look forward to as Richard Oliver is a pretty good journalist.

Oliver is an "Around the Horn" wannabe hack.

Alright, today is the day we get serious Spurstalk. Day 1 is done, the syllabus has been passed out, the proffessor has introduced his and herself, and the textbooks have been purchased.

--Kori

I'm not sure what they have planned if anything. I know that they would like to promote the station, but it depends if they have the $ to do so. Which I doubt. I'm sure they told the sales staff that if the $ starts coming in, then we will see about putting some marketing behind it.

Keep in mind that the previous station had hardly any advertisers, so no matter what they did, they could outbill the old station.

The Ticket's ratings have never been horrible. It just that a Sports station won't ever be a Top 5 station in the market. Not unless there is another major sports team in town. And even then it would be a TALL order.

The local shows have actually done okay ratings wise. People have to understand that normally the posters on forums lean to expressing their negative views before the positive views.

In fact Mike Taylor in his first full rating books had the 2nd highest ratings ever of the Ticket's history in the PM time frame.

So, although posters here may not like him, his ratings were much better than we have had before. Even better than the Thompson Brothers! (Crazy right!)

Regarding beating the Ticket. I don't see it happening any time soon if ever. It will take them at least 2 years to come close.
Ticket has been there for 10+ years, and they still have the biggest Sports figure in the history of Sports Talk Radio, Jim Rome.

Just my opinion....

[Kori Ellis]

The Ticket's ratings have never been horrible.

You don't think Vex/Walter's show pulling a 1 was horrible a few years back?

[Kori Ellis]

In fact Mike Taylor in his first full rating books had the 2nd highest ratings ever of the Ticket's history in the PM time frame.

So, although posters here may not like him, his ratings were much better than we have had before. Even better than the Thompson Brothers! (Crazy right!)
....

Most San Antonio sports fans I know (on and off the forum) think he's horrible. But just because people think you are bad, doesn't mean they don't listen. Sometimes they listen just to see how bad you are. :lol I have only listened to him for 15 minutes since he started, so I don't know how bad he is. I don't really care.

But sports fans in San Antonio LOVES the Spurs. And if they can find more Spurs talk (no pun intended) at the ESPN show, they'll easily switch. Taylor will need to talk more Spurs to stay in the game a year from now.

(But hell, they'll probably switch hosts/formats for STSA within the year anyway - it never stays the same).

Just my two cents.

Personally, I like him. Yes, he does need some San Antonio seasoning to him, but that will come. He's a good solid host, and a really good guy off the mic, which is more than I can say about some people i've met in this industry.

Chris is brilliant for mobilizing the online communities. Knowing that they aren't going to get a bunch of marketing, and trying to spread through a guerrilla/viral marketing approach.

I look forward to having both stations here, as hopefully it creates more sports minded people.

[Chris Duel]

Regarding beating the Ticket. I don't see it happening any time soon if ever.

Peter,

You know I love you.

But mark YOUR words.

We're FROM SAN ANTONIO.

I've been to Spurs games in the Hemisfair Arena, the Alamodome and the (SBC) AT&T Center.

I've been to NIOSA (if you say Nee-osa you suck), Folklife and even Hemisfair '68.

Not only is the marketing coming, but an insane web presence that is unprecedented in this city is coming.

With Charlie Parker, I am the only guy who took an afternoon TALK show to #1 in the market among all listeners, 12+ and 25-54.

I love San Antonio, but I also love a challenge.

Write the date down in your diary. February 12, 2008.

The day Peter Burns said we would never surpass Ticket 760.

Game on, Holmes.

[Last Comic Standing]

Peter hasn't had that kind of verbal spanking since Stacie grabbed her worn out pantyhose and left him for another hooters waitress. :lmao

[RashoFan]

It has been a crazy couple of days at work, I will try to catch the show on the ride home (Downtown to 281/1604 is a solid 45 min drive at 5pm). Chris, I wish you the best and rock it out. Let Mr. burns eat his words and I'll standby to do the Heimlich, in case he starts to choke.:D

[Nbadan]

Spurstalk's Spurs and NBA forums are among the best sources for NBA and insider Spurs information, but for years the people at the ticket, including the hosts, have acted like it doesn't even exist....enter Chris Duel and ESPN -- Spurstalk is on the radio the very first day....Kori, Mouse, even T-parK.....

....Ultimately, I think the station that succeeds will be the station that has the most comprehensive Spurs and Dallas Cowboy coverage....but with Duel, Alexander, and other 1250 hosts utilizing so many local insider SA connections, including some of the best sources here at Spurstalk....this horse race could be over before it even begins...

[T Park]

Chris, we not only support you, we want this show to blow up, and we want this show to be huge in SA.

We want when the national media wants the inside scoop on the Spurs when they are in the playoffs, to say "We need Duel, because he has his gosh darn finger on the pulse of the champions"

[SequSpur]

got damn.. all i am asking for is KISS to play some got damn music in the morning... lyle and hahn are fukin tired already.

[MoSpur]

The local ESPN radio show is much better than Mike Taylor. I think it will surpass the Ticket. Mike Taylor is tired.

[S_A_Longhorn]

You got me listening, Duel.

I stopped listening to the Ticket 760 a couple months ago ever since Mike Taylor was brought in from Dallas. I've listened to the Ticket ever since it went on the air, but slowly I stopped listening at all times of the day. The local show was the last show I listened to, until Taylor showed up.

Long live 1250!

[maxpower]

So what is the email address to 1250 the zone?

I want to express my opinion on the need for Duel's show to begin at 3pm.

Truth be told, save for the initial 2 days of 1250, I do not listen to radio after 6 pm.

Although I must say in the way way past(Andy Everett->Thompson Brother's era) I did make it a point to listen to the Spurs pregame and postgame.

And to get the online stream up post haste. I listen to sports radio online at work all day long. Though I listen to the Dallas Ticket exclusively, I would most certainly tune in to local quality sports talk...and prior to 1250's arrival it was the Dallas Ticket...even to the point where I stream it through my phone plugged into my aux input in my car radio.

Agreed 1000% on that.

Now its unlistenable with Pasacrita the moron being on there.

After yesterdays show how about the Gas Chamber!

The new ESPN show "Obstructed View" AM 12 fitty!

[T Park]

Get ready to tune in in the 5 oclock hour.

T Park is making another appearance :)

[BonnerDynasty]

Nice job Tpark! That was great actually getting to listen to GOOD Spurs discussion on the radio for once. That's more depth on Spurs related stuff than the ticket has seen in the last 2 years added all together.

[T Park]

Ha thanks Bonner that means alot.

[AlamoSpursFan]

What's the magic word you have to tell the screener to get Jason to not cut you off two topics early?

[T Park]

:lol

Well its partly Jason's show so I think he can do what he wants :lol

[JoeChalupa]

This show is going to do well. I already like the format.

[Mavs08]

I had to use my Dads radio in his 18 wheeler and I must admit Tpark sounds like he could do radio professionally. :tu

[1369]

Is there a text number set up yet?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You could really add some spice to the show if OS callers like myself, Slomo, Alamo and the Church of Manu could call up, as mouse suggested... although maybe San Antonians don't want that on their radio? I dunno... but I'd call if I could!

Good to hear ST personalities getting some play. Let's face it, there is not another site on the net even close to ST* when it comes to talk about and knowledge of the Spurs. Time some props came to ST.



* I can already sense the SR rent-a-crowd getting rowdy about that claim, but they know it's the truth - hell, it's self-evident!

[dawn]

I could not agree with Duel more. What we have going for us is we have LISTENED to the community for a long time and what they have been SCREAMING for and that is LOCAL TALK by LOCAL TALENT. While others say they are, for some reason they keep bringing in more and more folks from outside of San Antonio and hell outside of Texas for that matter and it goes all the way up to management. I know what I have been wanting to hear for a while when it comes to sports radio and we were not getting it.

As far as ads for ESPN, they swamped all of the BMP radio stations with promos and while I know you may say, what those are a lot of spanish talk stations, those also are a LOT of SPURS and SPORTS fans. Don't forget JACK-FM and KTFM.

Last but not least is the cheapest yet most effective way and that is WORD OF MOUTH. Not just from listeners but from the LOCAL EXPERTS and SPORTS Personalities in this town. They are a buzz with it and excited to help be a part of a NEW style of Sports Radio. I think the big test will come when ESPN has on SPORTS TALK on the air during the day and the others have on say a baseball game. Not everyone is baseball fans and even fans don't always care to hear a game on the radio. But most people who listen to SPORTS RADIO listen for SPORTS TALK.

It will be a lot of fun to watch, but be ready because the ads will come, so will the signs and the website will totally kick some serious ASS!!!

BY THE WAY... Can we bet a beer or lunch on this or something Peter? :spin

[Chris Duel]

TPark has kicked amazing ASS each of the last two days.

Holy Jesus! The guy knows his Spurs and his Spurs History.

TPark, like Mouse, whenever you call, I will go to it FIRST.

Thanks for your calls.

You have certainly elevated our show.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I've had the pleasure of listening to the show a few times now.

You guys are great. I used to call in to local shows back in the game night react days with Andy Everette. I think I'm going to have to come out of retirement. Great job, guys. Pardon me if I don't introduce myself as 'Please Dont Ban me'. :D It'll just be 'Aniq'.

[Chris Duel]

We won't ban you. And we won't tase you, bro!!!

[Tenacious D]

Don't forget the weekly caption contest!

[PakiDan]

Chris, I've got to give you huge props for supporting the ST community like you have... From the day I joined, I've seen that this group has always been a collective Duel supporter, and it's good to see the support is mutual. Any chancde you'll make a GTG appearance? You think Mouse is good on th radio... you should see what he does with a broom... not to mention Slovenian Pear Vodka, or whatever the hell that was....

[1369]

PD, fly infused pear brandy IIRC.

I hear Mouse does a convincing T-Rex yodeling impersonation after drinking it as well.
