i don't like galloway, but i like the show (GAC) for the guests, the cohosts, and the humor. but galloway is a bit of an idiot. it's way better than dale hansen though.
The Ticket is the worst excuse for a sports station I have ever listened to.
The content breakdown goes like this:
25% Fart jokes
40% TV from last night discussion, celebrity news
25% s
10% Uninformed sports opinion
At least ESPN Radio talks sports seriously.
It absolutely blows my mind how many P1s (Ticket listeners) are entertained by that garbage on the Ticket.
People actually listen to ESPN Radio in Dallas? LOL!
Thanks for proving to me that you don't listen.
LOL @ ESPN taking it seriously. They have a show with a sports writer called "Little Ball of Hate" where she just sits and makes stupid opinions to get a rise out of people. And Galloway doesn't take anyone serious. The only good thing about 103.3 is Mavs games
The Ticket = ing genius...
About 50-60% sports talk and 40-50% local & national news, entertainment news, & funny bits. I wouldn't expect many Spurs fans to "get it"...it's not for everybody.
But it is one of the most successful sports radio stations in the US. They're Marconi nominated every year (1 of 5 sports stations in the country that's nominated). It's not just a coincidence that there are "The Ticket's" are all over the country...copying their format, using the same terminology, etc etc.
It's funny how haters try to minimize what they do with "it's nothing but fart jokes"....Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...radio home of the Cowboys does nothing but fart jokes. Good one!!Jerry Jones must be an idiot not to choose ESPN radio in Dallas...
You don't have to like it, but it's an extremely successful station with a huge, loyal following and not just in Dallas...
I don't know how anybody could possibly sit through ESPN radio all day...or any "all-sports" station...
1310 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 103.3
3x the ratings of ESPN radio... (and don't give me $hit over radio ratings...it's the system that's in place)
if we're just talking straight up sports talk, then...
Norm Hitzges > anything ESPN radio can possibly muster.
Bob Sturm kicks the out of anybody on ESPN radio as well. It's a shame that he's got Dan McDowell's idiocy bringing him down.
The Hardline is the worst radio show in America. Nobody on that show is remotely funny, all they do is at each other and make stupid little inside jokes, and they all talk sports out of their ass. They used to be great at baseball talk but even there, they are slipping big time. The Musers are tolerable only because of the greatness of Gordo.
But anybody who finds ESPN Radio "tolerable" is insane. The Ticket is so much better it's not even funny. I'd much rather listen to idiots who fully realize that they're idiots instead of a bunch of idiots who try to pass themselves off as knowledgeable sports journalists.
The Hardline sucks balls when it comes to Mavs talk...I'll admit that. But the show is funny. You have to listen for a while to "get it" but it's funny IMO...
and Gordo = genius
Probably the most all-around talented guy on the station...has a local TV show, weekly column in Quick, etc etc.
I only listen to 103.3 for the simulcast of Mike and Mike, aside from that, most of the hosts on that radio station are just irritating.
You have to have been a P1 for a very long time to really like the Ticket....there's way too many inside jokes.
I can see why someone uninformed about the Ticket would conclude that it's "nothing but fart jokes"....because if you tune in for 5 minutes at random that's probably what you're gonna hear. But when a real sports story breaks out, they ALWAYS stop down and quit with the "fart jokes" to give it the appropriate amount of discussion.
But honestly, I'd rather listen to those guys bull ting about whatever than hear some sort of ridiculously boring and obtuse breakdown on who the Cowboys will draft in the 5th round.
Gas Cap Willie about to make an appearance.
Anything as wildly successful as the Ticket is sure to have plenty of haters who want to on it for no reason other than that they don't "get" why it's so popular...but that's the way of the world...*gratuitous Team America reference* there's three types of people in this world, s, pussies, and assholes....the Ticket are s....ESPN radio are pussies....and the assholes are...
Then what is Cuban for choosing ESPN before they even went on the air?
And just to clear one thing up - P1/P2/P3 is a general radio term, NOT something created for the Ticket lexicon. Every station has their P1s, 2s, etc. Arbitron is a dated, sad system that needs vast improvements. To the Ticket's credit, the diaries fall into the hands of loyal listeners that say they listen 24 hours a day without batting an eye. That's where those large ratings numbers come from. The "PeopleMeter" is rolling out around the country and will measure when someone is actually within earshot of a radio and what they're listening to. The release of this brought a similarly-dominating sports radio station up in the East down almost 40% in their numbers. The same thing will be coming to Dallas within a year.
That's what I hear when checking out at Quicktrip, at least. People tell me things.
Compound Hangover
Not many...the Ticket thoroughly kicks the absolute dog out of ESPN Radio in the ratings. Every host on the Ticket dominates over whoever goes against them on ESPN.
I don't know what the current ratings are, but these are from a few months back...
Morning drive Dunham & Miller 9.3 Mike & Mike 3.3
Late morning Norm Hitzges 7.8 LBOH 2.4
Early afternoon BaD Radio 8.7 Dan Patrick 3.0
Afternoon drive Hard Line 9.7 Galloway & Co. 3.3
But for uninformed haters I guess this just shows that there's alot of idiots in Dallas.
Nobody at the Ticket has claimed to have invented that lingo...they very clearly state that it's a general radio term...they were just the first to start publicly using it.
If you want to see the impact of the ticket, then just Google "The Ticket" and see how many copycat stations that are out there...
And Mavs games are getting ratings on whatever station they're on...same with the Cowboys....ESPN offered more money for the Mavs so Cuban went with them...

That wasn't the question.
One is relative to the other in the line of questioning.
Corso owned by The Ticket...one of many times last season
Yea yea yea...I knew that was coming about the ratings. I welcome a new system...curious to see how things look...
Jerry made his choice when both stations were well established...that says more IMO. Cuban went with the ESPN name...
and why are you ripping on ESPN???
