Of course you will be watching TV. You probably have it on in the room while you read this. Or maybe you are doing this while you are supposed to be working.
Psssssst! let me tell you where you messed up. If you want to pimp your Dallas Station ?
Don't use the words San Antonio and Ticket in the same sentance brah.
Pimp your show on it's own.
You would have a better chance to get us to watch BrokeBack Montain II , before you can get us to turn off the FM radio so we can tune in to hear two clowns talk bad abot Koris WebSite.

"The Ticket" from Dallas is Broadcasting from SA this Morning
seems pretty clear, but I guess reading comprehension isn't a strength around here...
Yes, those are the only 2 possibilities...
Did we miss "Muse in the News" where they - get this - READ from the newspaper?
Yep, that's it!! They just read from the paper...wtf are you talking about?? Seriously??
They talk about wheels-off news stories from around the country and Gordo interjects his own commentary along with George / Craig, which is hilarious. It's about as far from "reading from the newspaper" as it could be...
Wow, you obviously haven't been down there in a while. That's a GREAT area. The AAC is a sweet building in a really good location. Of course, that area has been built up alot lately. There's a brand new apartment complex in extremely close distance, the W (brand new, not even finished yet) is directly across the street. They have two new condo buildings coming up beind the W. West end is less than a mile away. The Crescent is right up the street, the Magnolia station lofts are next door to the arena...etc, etc.
I actually like the outside alot. I don't think it looks like a warehouse at all.
I don't think Galloway (who I love most of the time) was insulting the arena.. they were just saying where it's built I guess isn't a great location. I wouldn't know -- I've never seen it.
It's been about a year and a half. There were some construction cranes in the area last time I was there, but no building yet, that I could tell. At that time (and every time I had been there up to that point), it was the pits, very depressing and industrial looking. And, I sat through a 3-hr concert with muddy, wet feet from wading across that field from the train. That building will never be attractive to me or from an architectural standpoint. It is very nice on the inside, and I love the floor murals and the decor. It may be interesting looking on the outside, but that's about it. I personally think the AT&T Center is interesting looking, too, but it will never be beautiful, either.
Ah, yes. I forgot. "Sports" radio.Yep, that's it!! They just read from the paper...wtf are you talking about?? Seriously??

Getting back to the original intent of this thread, I am listening to the internet feed and it SUCKS ASS. The people calling in have obviously had an overdose of the Cuban Kool-Aid. The hosts aren't much better.
have your station do a big GTG at Dave and Buster and watch only 8 people show up. thats one way
The only time I did anything with D&B it was SRO mouse...
What station are you talking about?
And yes, the Ticket in Dallas kicks ass in ratings for a sports station.
I've only heard it a few times. Pretty good stuff
I listened for a little while...then went back to Neil Young.
Good to know the technology is there to provide more accuracy. Any timetable on when this methodology will be in effect? Also, I'm curious to know if Birch is still around?
Key word: San Antonio
Supposedly, it's already being tested in smaller markets but has no bearing on the actual ratings as of yet. They're wanting to roll it out by 2008 and have it be a permanent data-collector from there on out. But of course, like anything, it will have it's flaws and will need to be replaced. Just hope it doesn't overdo it's welcome like the diaries have.
Ok, so I shoot down your summary of what one of their segments is about, so you revert to them not talking enough "Sports??"
Fake Jerry Jones, Fake Mark Cuban, Fake Tiger Woods, E-news, the Fart Game, etc etc...all good stuff...
You're listening to Norm Hitzges...the most boring (and only all-sports) guy on The Ticket. He does know his sports though...
As for the callers, does it really matter what they say??
It took 2+ hrs for anybody to READ the thread, so they missed all the good stuff this morning...
Try again after 12:00...
Key word: No-reading MF'ers...
The Dallas Ticket station is famous for the sop ric, "frat house-style" banter and endless pranks.
I remember one time they invited Bill Schoenig on the air for an interview prior to a Spurs/Mavs playoff games back in 2003. Rather than conducting a normal, sports-related interview, they went on to insult the guy by asking him a series of contrived, non-basketball-type questions as a prank.
Once he caught onto their pranks, he asked if they invited him on to actually talk basketball or not. When they laughed, he mildly chastized them and politely ended the interview.
Of course, they berated him afterwards for "not having a sense of humor" and claimed he "should've known what to expect because of the stations' reputation for schtick". I remember reading later that he swore never to conduct another interview with that station.
I don't typically care for their style, but they do "kick ass" in the ratings and have for a long time. Fact is, when they do get around to talking sports, they can be pretty good.
Personally, I'm more of a purist and I prefer ESPN radio because of the big name guests and hardcore sports talk.
Nothing's perfect, but at least a device that reads the RF signal will have more accuracy than the Arbitron system, and technology can always be upgraded and improved. As for online listening, they should be able to figure that out too. Pre-1995 I remember something like this being "talked" about, good to see the implementation has actually begun.
BTW, is Birch still around?
No doubt, they love schtick...but that's NOT how most of their sports interviews are...
can I take a shot at trying to break it down for LEONARD?
Dear sir
Certain words don't mesh that well,
Peewee herman and Day care center
Oj Simpson and selling knives on QVC
David Blaine and good TV
and yours: Ticket and Sports
what do you not get?
Sorry, I don't know anything about Birch and haven't heard anything recently. Must not be.
tonto not tune in to plae face ticket radio
unless tonto know pale face peter burns is doing show,
Alrighty then...
RACK Tonto!

Funny thing is, he hasn't been back on the radio since then
