[Sausage]

[DannyT]

Word.....

[Jimmy Bobby]

ESPN once again taking Clear Channel's table scraps. Clear Channel fired Chris Duel, Jason Thompson and Rob Thompson. They all suck. There's The Ticket and then there's The Ticket's REJECTS.

[JoeChalupa]

I'll take the rejects.

[TheTruth]

That is good news indeed. Jason and Rob were very good at one point. Hope they can get that back.

[Kori Ellis]

Are Jason and Rob moving back to town or they are doing the show from Florida?

[T Park]

Best news to come down the pipe.

1250 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>760 by a mile and a freakin half now.

In case you haven't noticed, CC has been circling the bowl for a while now. No shame in getting let go by the less than aMayzing CC.

[T Park]

hmmmm

may?

[Denver>SA]

isnt cc being sold?

[ChuckD]

isnt cc being sold?
They tried, because their stock numbers have been flat for a few years, but the equity bubble looks like it's putting the kibosh on that. Look for more firings of talent that makes money.

[Kori Ellis]

They tried, because their stock numbers have been flat for a few years, but the equity bubble looks like it's putting the kibosh on that. Look for more firings of talent that makes money.

Umm... CC was sold about a year and a half ago to two private equity firms for about $19M.

Then, they (new ownership group) sold the television division to Newport Television last April and that change is just being now completed.

[GoGatos]

Well, the sale process started going through about a year and a half ago...however, it hasn't been completed. The six banks involved in the crediting of the sale are trying to back out because it's going to cost them omoney to finance it now and they've changed their minds. So CC and the prospective buyers filed suit against the banks both here in Bexar County and in New York.

That's where it sits now. both CC and it's prospective buyers WANT the deal to be finished, but the banks are a road block in the whole deal at the moment. The TV sale is final and over with. The radio side is on hold.

[2centsworth]

Lowry is no fool. I bet his contract is rock solid and he will eventually get his money.

[Nbadan]

Chris is on for 3 hours now? Sheeeett...that's good news to me...

[scott]

What's the point of having ESPN Radio if all the national shows are pre-empted by shitty local guys? (Except for Paul Alexander, who coached me in HS and thus gets an everlasting Scott Stamp of Approval*).

Thank god for Sirius radio!

Maybe because ESPN's national radio guys are shit?

[Denver>SA]

love 1250 in the pm but in th AM im on 760 for rome

[Tike Mailer]

Let's see...

Ticket 760 = Spurs, Cowboys, Longhorns, Aggies, Rampage

ESpeeN = n o t h i n g

No contest, holmes. ESpeeN is the prison bitch of Ticket 760, brah.

[Dude]

Now if they can just get Jay Howard!

[GoGatos.]

Mr.Duel is going after all of our scraps, why not call your show the ticket stub?

[AlamoSpursFan]

I was kinda hoping for more Track Smack with Dawn Murphy, personally.

[T Park]

Mr.Duel is going after all of our scraps, why not call your show the ticket stub?


The Tompsons are twice what that shit you call for radio is in Walter Pasacrita.

Don't even blow the sour grapes bullshit in here.

[Tike Mailer]

Mr.Duel is going after all of our scraps, why not call your show the ticket stub?

Right ON, Jim Bob! The Ticket Stub is the perfect name for those losers. Anyone who listens to ESpeeN is a loser too, brah.

[GoGatos.]

The Tompsons are twice what that shit you call for radio is in Walter Pasacrita.

Mr. T park you can let go of the Thompson's' nut sac anytime now, we get it! They are your heroes.



Don't even blow the sour grapes bullshit in here.

Wasn't Jason the one with the sour grapes when he blamed the refs for the Spurs losing in the playoffs? And on national tv what an embarrassment for San Antonio.
Chris Duel has no morals he will sell his soul for a paycheck.

[T Park]

Mr. T park you can let go of the Tompsons' nut sac anythime now. We get it! They are your heroes.

Wow, more great talk back to listeners of SA.


Whats your name, so when I call up to complain directly to WOAI, that I can use your name specifically thanks.

[Tike Mailer]

Mr. T park you can let go of the Thompson's' nut sac anytime now, we get it! They are your heroes.

Who the F**k are the Thompson fags anyway? They don't know s**t about sports. Head 2 Head Hotties wipes its ass with anything those two douches ever brought on the airwaves. Right on, Rim Job.

You must be the snitch of ST. I wonder how many in here you have gone to Kori to get them in trouble. People like you deserve what they get, I hope the next kid that chips a tooth on your bumper cars sues the lard off your ass.

And I like the way Dawn always says she never has time to post in the Club but finds time to plug her shows!

Go ahead and make your phone calls do what you have to do so your new radio show can survive. Good Luck!

So not gonna give me your name?

The forum "snitch" ?

:lol

Look I just want to explain to your bosses how you treat "your listeners"

[AlamoSpursFan]

The Tickrah has listeners?

:lol

[Dude]

Tpark his name is Jim. Are you going to be a regular on the show? :tu

[Trainwreck2100]

Chris Duel has no morals he will sell his soul for a paycheck.

Considering your buddy came from Dallas and had to repeatedly explain how he came here for a paycheck, that's a pretty bad analogy. Hope he gets better though, healthwise that is

Dude, are you serious?


Even if you had the best show on the radio, which by the way you don't, I wouldn't listen to you just because you treat your listeners like crap.


If I talked to my customers in the same manner that you talk to your listeners here, I would be standing in the unemployment line in no time.


It is nice to know how you really feel about us, I will be sure to communicate it to all of my friends who still tune your program in on a daily basis.

It is called multi-tasking...during a commerical... :toast

[Kori Ellis]

:lmao @ the multiple people who don't realize the difference between two different user names.

[S_A_Longhorn]

Wasn't everyone at CC quick to point out that the Thompson Brothers LEFT San Antonio for a gig in Florida??

They were NOT fired by CC. It should be more telling that they came back to San Antonio to a competing station instead of returning to CC.

Thanks again Duel and ESPN The Zone for bringing back possibly the best & most entertaining radio hosts to the San Antonio airwaves. Now I have zero reasons to listen to Sports Talk Dallas with Mike Taylor.

Now I wait for the Ticket to add more local programming...follow the leader.

[King]

:lmao @ the multiple people who don't realize the difference between two different user names.

No kidding. Hook line and sinker.

He doesn't work for the ticket, T Park. It's not the same guy.

[S_A_Longhorn]

No kidding. Hook line and sinker.

Look at the name & post count, T PARK. The real Jim Bob, aka "GoGatos", has 70+ posts, most insulting SpursTalk fans simply because we don't like his Sports Talk Dallas show with Mike Taylor.

The troll on this forum is called "GoGatos." and only had 7 posts. Notice the "." at the end of the screen name.

The multiple screen names are ruining this site. KORI - anyway possible stop these trolls as they are driving me away from this site??? Tike Mailer and GoGatos., two name two. Feel free to dump the real GoGatos as well.

Yeah SA LONGHORN, Jason and Rob did leave, there were never let go here. There are top notch talent. And are very enjoyable on air. I was very dissapointed to see them leave.

A local morning show would be sweet.....It's amazing to me how a town this big doesn't have a local morning sports show. IMHO

TICKET760 OR ESPN1250, BRING BACK VEX!!! :wakeup
AM SHOW WOULD BE GREAT!!!

[AlamoSpursFan]

TICKET760 OR ESPN1250, BRING BACK VEX!!! :wakeup
AM SHOW WOULD BE GREAT!!!

Just a wild guess here, but something tells me Mike & Mike is a must carry program.

[MoSpur]

That's a pretty good lineup for ESPN the zone. I'll admit, I'll listen to the Ticket 760 when I get out of work. I listen to it from 4:30 to 5:00. After that, that's it. I switch to ESPN

[PeterBurns]

There is no way ESPN would lose Mike and Mike.
That's like us losing Jim Rome. Won't happen.

If they can stay afloat long enough for people to find that they are there, I think there will be a lot of button pushing down the road.

If you like local sports talk, this is going to be great

It could be
Ticket Local Morning Show with Me and SAMikeyP...lol
Paul Alexander
Thompsons / Taylor
Sports Grind/ Duel

Basically, we would be going from 3 hours of local sports programming, to 13 hours a day. That's pretty cool, and hopefully brings more listeners to the dial.

Although I'm doing the math, and I have to say I'm very impressed on how much they are spending.

You got to figure that between Paul, The Thompson's, and Duel and Jason. They are paying between $125K to $150K in talent salary, not counting producers...etc.

Selling $20 Commercials isn't going to get you to that #.....
And it's going to be hard to get advertisers to pay $75 a commercial for a station that hasn't really marketed it themselves.

Just my opinion, and as always, is probably way off base

[S_A_Longhorn]

Yeah SA LONGHORN, Jason and Rob did leave, there were never let go here. There are top notch talent. And are very enjoyable on air. I was very dissapointed to see them leave.

What?!? You and mean agree on something?!?! Shoot me now...

The Thompson brothers were my all-time favorite hosts. They had fun, bled the Spurs, talked about things Donny Harris would 'distance' himself from, and were from San Antonio. basically everything Mike Taylor isn't.

A morning show might bring me back to the Ticket. I enjoyed Charlie and Chance from an entertainment stance. At least until the Ticket & CC moved them all over the goddamn place.

Maybe CC will beg Vex to come back. Just keep Walter behind the scenes, please.

[Taco]

If you like local sports talk, this is going to be great

Speaking of “Puro” how is Charlie Parker with that word?

I know he doesn’t like the word “Cougar” I heard him earlier this week (paraphrasing) he’s had about enough of that phrase :wakeup

[Dude]

Look at the name & post count, T PARK. The real Jim Bob, aka "GoGatos", has 70+ posts, most insulting SpursTalk fans simply because we don't like his Sports Talk Dallas show with Mike Taylor.

GoGatos is a dick head! (the real one) I have seen his postings I can't wait to see what job he goes to next and how his insulting words come back to bite him in the ass.


The troll on this forum is called "GoGatos." and only had 7 posts. Notice the "." at the end of the screen name.

Dude you should work for CSI your one sharp vato!




The multiple screen names are ruining this site.

LJ and Kori have alias screen names also are you saying they are ruining their own site?




KORI - anyway possible stop these trolls as they are driving me away from this site???

Are you new to the www? Trolls are like STDs there is no real cure wake up!

Besides you want kori to get rid of every screen name that is not the same name the person was born with? Does your birth certificate say "S_A_Longhorn"?
If not? then your an alias aka troll of the www also.




Feel free to dump the real GoGatos as well.

So then your no different than GoGatos and the ticket on how they treat their listeners. You can't have it both ways lecturing others on how to treat people with respect and at the same time want to exterminate others from the site.

No one likes wannabe moderators especially those who don't know how to use the PM feature. just a heads up my friend since your new here! :tu

[S_A_Longhorn.]

[pooh]

Czaban IS the morning show person. That crap didn't work with Charlie "oh what a big mouth I have" Parker and it didn't work again with Wally and Vex and again with Charlie and Chance, what in the hell do you think it will work again? Leave Czaban there, he's the best.

Something not involving Parker, Vex, Walter or Chance. :)

The Thompson dorks are wanna be Brothers
Sklar! Jason is such a panzie, he probably
used to wear two polo shirts with collars
popped up back in the eighties. Now he
tucks in his shirt w/ no belt, ala Seinfeld.
Thompson twins are back, call the show
Revenge of the Nerds!!!

[johnsmith]

SIRIUS, SIRIUS, SIRIUS!!!

I don't know how many times I can tell you guys the joys that little $15 dollar a month investment has brought me, and can bring you as well.

No longer am I victim to SA radio. If I want to hear news, I am not subjected to Chuck Parker's fat mouth talking about 60's music and cling to his baby boomers fat ass. If I want to here about sports I don't have to wait until Jim Rome is on, or wait to get home to flip on the TV. I'm not forced to listen to Mike Taylor blatantly root for Dallas teams, or Chris Duel NOT TALK ABOUT ANY FUCKING THING RELATED TO SPORTS (and then make horrible jokes). No longer do I have to hear that tubby NASCAR chick with her ear piercing laugh that only Dolphins seem to understand. No longer must I endure a donut eating T Park drop his Spurs history knowledge on us.


I'm still curious what you folks want more local radio for? YOU HAVE ONE PRO SPORT!!!!!!!!!! And they are on the decline for christ sake.


And since I haven't posted in this forum for so long, let me throw this in as well, MANNYISGOD, your picture on here now, it's the gayest shit I've ever seen.


Chris Duel, I flipped on your show the other day to listen and see if you had begun talking sports yet, sure enough, nothing. You suck at your job and should probably quit............wait, nevermind............you'll be fired soon enough.

TPark, you still suck on the air and over the internet as well.

Whott, you're still a dick.

Elpimpo, you should win the pretentious award.

See you next month.

[T Park]

Go ahead and just put the nozzle to your mouth and pull.

[T Park]

I read this again.

Seriously,

that whole thing is not necessary.

We got it the first 100 times.

Your a fucking moron who no one likes so you think your cute wiht the shtick.

Seriously, do the world a favor and swallow the whole bottle of oxycotin.

Awesome......

Monday Taco, Monday :smokin

thats straight from the mouths of the Thompsons on their EA Sports game show that runs from 11-2 central :)

[purist]

cszaban sucks. predictable. dull. repetetive.

while he's doing his "what's on tv tonight" bit, espn is talking to guest like doc rivers, flip saunders, etc.

and then fox, i guess becuase they carry nascar, feels compelled to have drivers on as guests. only thing more boring that watching cars do laps on a tv screen is listening to someone talk about doing laps on radio.

Are they gonna do the show from Fla or are they moving back to SA?

:flag:

[Chris Duel]

They're in Florida for now, but they'll be coming back to S.A. frequently, including their first return with a big public party soon to be announced.

If the Spurs go deep in the Playoffs, I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of them around town as well.

[SAtown]

Hey Duel, do you guys have online streaming yet?

[Chris Duel]

Hey Duel, do you guys have online streaming yet?


Not yet. And it sucks. And it pisses us off too.

We're now told that the super-duper web site will be up in June (we were originally told April), but Jason, Dawn, Johnny and I are lobbying heavily for them to just put up the logo on the under-construction page and a button for live streaming.

I'm told several times a week by people who are in office buildings during the day or people from out of town that they would be listening online if they had that option.

We continue to bang that drum.

It's coming, just not nearly as fast as we want.

[Nbadan]

Hey Duel, are you ready to clear the air about what happened with KTSA? We've all heard the PR crap, so what was the real story? Why would a third rate station pull the best show in town?

no offense to those of you who like nascar. I've tried...just can't get it. Just like hockey, i suspect it's one of those things you have to see in person to appreciate.

Get the streaming up.

My daughter had a slumber party two weeks ago it took all of 30 minutes to set up a web cam so her friends at the other party could join in on the fun.

I could have had her Grandmother in Jersey watching in to make sure she behaves.

As far as a forum to post in I am sure Slomo or Kori could have set something up in a few hours here at ST or Mr.Duel could have added a forum at his 550 site as a temporary set up. But why should he this is just another job it's not his passion.
