Ticket 760 Lineup

[johnsmith]

you make me so happy i could....... i thought nobody cared about this thread anymore.

i love you.

JGW, we'll always keep this dream alive.

Honestly though, the only time I've ever liked that show was when I sent Charlie an email complaining about his show under the name "John Smith" and he spent 45 of the first hour of one of his shows crying about it.

I've heard people call in and complain about to Charile/Chance & Wally/Vex about the content of their shows. In fact, on one show Wally/Vex made the complaining caller the "Dumbass of the Week." The guy was calling in to say that they should talk more about sports instead of their other inane topics. Wally and Vex got all bent out of shape and spent the rest of the broadcast ridiculing the guy.

, I agree with the caller. I don't need to hear "The Decorum Forum" or "Wally's Hollywood Minute" or "Stacey the Sports Chick." They're not good bits to begin with, plus you add the fact that these guys are simply not that funny.

I've heard similar rants from that Hippie about e-mails that criticize the show, and I love how he pretends that it's always the same guy complaining over and over again. Yeah, Hippie, go ahead and keep on believing that only ONE person hates your piece of crap show. And hey, Hippie, when are you going to "walk backwards to Houston if Reggie Bush isn't taken number one in the draft"???? He sure swept that one under the carpet.

If people who listen to the Ticket 760 lineup are morons, then why self-indict by continuing to comment on their show day after day?

I think that's the prevailing theme of this thread. There is no other sportstalk station in SA, so if you want to hear any sportstalk at all, you have to listen to 760. That doesn't mean that the station doesn't suck. It just means is that the station has no other compe ion.

For example, when the whole TO "suicide" story broke, I wanted to hear some updates and commentary on the story. Well, I had to tune into 760 because I had no other choice. No other radio station was discussing the story.

Precisely. Bruno doesn't even come on locally until 9 a.m., and even then it's mostly static thanks to the 500 watt hair dryer that is 1420-KGNB's signal. Honestly, who in his/her right mind would actually CHOOSE Jowls Chancellor and Hippie Parker over Tony Bruno, IF he/she had the choice??!! That's the problem we have, no freedom of choice. (And please, spare me the "listen over the internet then" or "get satellite radio" comments).

When he read mine on the air he literally spent the first 45 minutes of the show talking about it, I was in tears I was laughing so hard. He was seriously pissed about it, you could hear it in his voice. Then of course you have the extremely intelligent listeners call in and say, "that John Smith just sounds like an idiot, he should give you guys his phone number so you could call him over the air". Yeah, good thinking jackass, I'm going to give a radio show my phone number when they obviously hate me and then they'd have full control over the conversation.

Anyway, it was one of the proudest moments of my life, and was initially the reason I signed up on this website so I could find out if anyone had heard it, unfortunately no one did.

I heard it on my way into work that day.

Did you really? You are seriously the first person that's said they heard that. It was good stuff wasn't it? I wish I would have saved the email.

[King]

I ing hate the argument that people still listen. THE ONLY ING REASON PEOPLE LISTEN IS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS IN TOWN FOR 'S SAKE. I would imagine the ratings are damn near the same when they had decent shows on in the morning such as Mike & Mike, Tony Bruno, or Czabe because again, there isn't anything else to compete against them.

Re-read the part where I said 'it probably has to do with a lack of compe ion...but the bottom line doesn't show that.' I agree with you. The shows on right now simply aren't that good. I'm just saying that the reason they're on is because people listen - and the reason people listen, are because they're still on. It's sort of a catch 22. Advertising is bought because the listeners listen because it's the only game in town. So, the station makes a lot of money.

Any program would probably pull in the same thing, but from purely a business standpoint, if it ain't broke...

Got ya, but your last line is the thing about it. They used to have national shows on in the morning and everything was wonderful, they eventually switched to the garbage they have on now.

[johnsmith]

Seriously though, does anyone know where to look for radio show ratings? Is there such a thing or do they just base it on advertisement money coming in? I haven't been able to find anything by just googling. This is a question for Peter Burns, where is that bag when you need him?

Radio shows have ratings. KTKR is tied for last.

Thanks for the info.

That cracks me up, not only are they in last place, but they are too stupid to do anything about it.

[samikeyp]

That is just it...because they are the only game in town...they don't have to. Its the same up here...only one sports talk station...its not bad though.

[screamformelongbeach]

A couple of months ago, Parker set aside a day for listeners to submit questions regarding the inner workings of the show. Anyway, Parker stated he had received a lot of questions about Tony Bruno, and he proceeded to relate the contract renewal dispute between Bruno and Asswood. He got most of the facts straight, but displayed his ignorance when he stated that Tony "had a local show" on KNBR in San Francisco before moving over to Sporting News Radio. That is incorrect...Bruno would call in for a daily 15-minute segment with KNBR host Gary Radnich, but he never hosted a full-blown show. I know, because I used to listen to the segment every day over the internet.

Most interesting of all is that Charlie claimed Tony is "a good friend" (doubtful, unless meeting him the one time Tony and Andrew brought the Extravaganza to town for the Final Four qualifies Parker as his "friend"), and that during all the years that Parker has had a show on 760, including the original Parker show in the '90's, Parker's numbers have consistently and handily beaten Bruno's numbers. Can anyone verify this claim?

By the way, as a loyal Bruno listener, I find it interesting that Clear Channel bigwig Red McCombs still comes on Bruno's show on a regular basis to talk sports, but I've only heard him once on Parker's show (during the Saints flirtation period). McCombs clearly is a huge Bruno fan. Hmmm, I wonder who McCombs would rather have in the Clear Channel stable....

I think I'm going to change this thread to the official "Fire Nate Lundy" thread.

IMHO, their ratings would be much better if they simply talked sports.

I have no problem with sports talk personalities talking about non-sports topics, AS LONG AS THE HOST IS ENTERTAINING. That's the problem with these Ticket 760 hacks....they suck at talking sports, they suck at talking pop culture, they just plain suck, period.

i agree, though i like when sports talk shows stick to sports. a little other talk here and there is great but keeping on track with the actual theme is best. TONY BRUNO is the best at this, imo. yeah, sometimes he does go on tangents...but at least they are funny.

on a side note, i am really proud seeing where this thread is gone. hopefully, we can get more people in here to voice out against these "wastes of space".

the thing that kills me is...that knowing they are the only show in town, why they settle for less than mediocrity? i don't understand it. is there not pride in their work? do they wish not to succeed? do they want to have low ratings forever? wtf is going on?

[T Park]

Why not someone just email the company that now owns KTSA and ask them to start an all sports radio station carrying all ESPN programming, or a combo of such.

It would prob do very well.

[T Park]

Try doing that instead of threatening to punch someone or hoping those people die.

I mean come on how adult is that.

its called a joke, and as much as i want this thread to be proactive...it is also a venting thread.

...and, btw, i have emailed plenty of people...and not surprisingly, they don't care what one person thinks. hopefully, everyone here will email or write them or something...maybe they have even seen this thread, which would be great.

also...screw it, i would like to punch parker or vex or chance in the head....that would be great.

I have never, ever heard anyone say something along the lines of "Ooh, I LOVE that Charlie and Chance Show. It kicks ass!" From what I have heard, people either hate the Ticket 760 hacks, or they simply tolerate them. Our voices will probably fall on deaf ears ( , Andrew Asswood is still employed somehow after the Van Earl Wright fiasco), but we absolutely need to put the Clear Channel brass on notice that their product is piss-poor.
