Who has the WORST sports radio show? national or local?

[Death In June]

Always good feedback here. Constructive criticism is always good. I know that all the hosts read this board, although few admit it.

Hosts are always looking to improve their show. When you see a comment of "This guy is a , and my ear bleed when he ****....etc" We laugh. It makes the commenter look like a internet troll tough guy.

What's better is when people say, I don't prefer (SHOW X) because they tend to bring up too much ???, and they do too many interviews, or calls...etc. That's the best way to shape the shows.

Sometimes is the most accurate descriptor. Most of these shows are personality driven, and there's not a whole lot of constructive criticism for an irritating personality. Placating a vocal minority makes them seem disingenuous, so it's a lose-lose for the show. They either like you or they don't.

I know our PD has been sidelined with some health issues lately, so he's getting up back up to speed. You've got to realize that Bolger gets a ton of emails each day, and tons of tapes/auditions...etc.

I doubt heavily that people are converting to ESPN because they feel like Bolger isn't responding. If they do, its because they like a show better. Radio ratings will be more accurate when the new measurement period starts next month.

Because SA isn't a huge sports town, you are ever going to have a ratings monster like you see in other major cities. You could bring the Ticket guys from Dallas, or whomever you thought was the top hosts here to SA and the ratings wouldn't jump that much.

Greco is great, that's why I try to get him included as much as possible. If it was up to me I would have a lot more local shows and have them all 2 hours long. That way they never have to "fill" time, they could come in with hot sports opinions.

I don't envy C&D having to a 4 hour show everyday. Taylor as well for 3 hours.

I'm doing some stuff to get more people involved. Priest Holmes hosted with me a few times and he's good, as is Bruce Bowen.

Priest may be doing Friday's show during football season with me.
I'm talking with Bruce on doing a few shows next week as well.

Greco and I have talked about an idea and it's in the works.

I think you could kick ass on a 4 hour show. When I did mine, the two hours went by wayy too fast.

Oh PB, what we talked about...should be up and running this week. With the layoff and apartment hunt, I have been crazy busy but now I have time.



and Tracy still owes me my tape.

we will never get to hear their honest opinions,after all they will only say what they think they need to say to look good,

Like MikeyP did?

samikeyp That link at the bottom of your sig sends me to a place with many sound clips which one is yours?

[SpursSecurity]

Peter,

Appreciate you stepping in here and clearing that up. I'm a firm believer that honest opinions is the way to go.

It's good to see the Ticket going after people that are good for San Antonio. Priest and Bruce would be great, getting Greco in would rock, and now you start to put together a great lineup. To be honest I wish the morning show was 3-hours.

But, I think I speak for most in here, only because they've posted it to, can we get off the GOLF talk every day. We all know you two love it, but most people listening don't.

Just my 2 cents

the ones marked "Peter for a Day winner".

[Alex Jones]

But almost all those links have Peter Burns on the show where is the one of just you and Andy?

[howardcopy]

Hey Peter can you fill us in on this man? What are you guys talking about. I think you two would gel great together. Both have great takes, know your stuff, and from what i've heard on the radio you two seem to work pretty well together.

XTRA -- we want the scoop NOW man.

[PaulGreco]

Hey Howard,

Appreciate the comments man. I'm currently in Baltimore and hopefully once I get back in town later next week I can sit down with Peter so we can get a plan in place.

Thanks to all who have left great comments, really do appreciate it.

Hey that is great news Paul. Hopefully you and Burns can bring some respectability to the Ticket. Can't wait till you guys release the name, any ideas what you guys are going to do?

Is it something you can share?

Anyway, glad to see the Ticket getting some new talent.
