KTCK wins Marconi Award as "Radio Station of the Year"...

[trickblue]

So this Marconi guy was a ****** also?

Yeah... he just invented broadcast radio... nothing major...

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Well, nobody likes Screamin' A.

Do any of you listen to the Hardline? The few times I've tried, I can't do it. Not only are they rarely talking sports, but when they do, they get so many things wrong. Just like Hammer on the Cowboys postgame show... So often he doesn't even know who's on the team or even the basic rules of the game!

 

[DallasCowpoke]

And I thought the award was for a sports station, not an "entertainment" station.

(And what does that mean anyway -- all genres are entertaining to someone.)

What does last night's sitcom or Donovan's sex life have to do with sports?

Anyway, no point arguing. Some people love the Ticket. And they do have some good nuggets, but IMO it's not worth wading through all the garbage to find them. (That's why their podcast page is good.)

For a guy who professes to dislike it so vehemently, you sure seem to know all their segments, and little "P1" catch-phrases.

I used to hate the hardline when I moved here. Now I really enjoy it and dislike the musers.

The hardline gets everything wrong. They are not a sports show in any way shape or form. by that time of the day I am sick of everyones opinion of oj and vick anyway.

a week ago they were talking about patty scalfia, springsteens wife. Mike rheiner who is billed as the music guy sat there and said patty and bruce were divorced and then greg williams started with the rich rock stars always get divorced and pick up young chicks.

The only thing Springsteen is not divorced!!! I knew that but still enjoyed listening to their back and forth because they are outstanding together..

Oh, I will try them when I flip around going to lunch or other times when ESPN has on the national shows. And this is the kind of thing I hear.

Hey, I'd like to like them -- I'm all about the local stations because they are talking about our teams. But I just don't get trying to listen to sports talk and hearing all the other stuff instead. If I get bored of sports, I'll just change the channel. But it wouldn't be to hearing about how some show host got his wife to play dress-up. Call me crazy.

Howard Stern once said that his loyal fans listen to him 2 hours a day and his most vehement detractors listen to him 4 hours a day.

Now you know why Skins and Eagles fans come here.

It reminds me of being in a group at a party awhile back, and the topic of some reality TV show came up.

A guy goes, "I HATE that show! Did y'all see what happened LAST week!?"

I giggled, 'cus all I could think about was this smilie... :umm:

Sooooo, you're reason for turning them on is WHAT again!?

It's kind of like when you hate a song, (Achy Breaky Heart or Brand New Girlfriend) and catch yourself singing along with it if you hear it somewhere.

Yeaaa, you're SO right Hos!

I wanna kick myself because I now have that 2nd song in my head. Maybe I'll go shoot an air staple into my leg. It would hurt less.

 

[InmanRoshi]

I ebb and flow with the different shows. When I first started listening to the KTCK, I was an avid Hardline and Norm listener. Now I hardly ever listen to the Hardline or Norm. Now I mostly listen to the Musers or BaD. A year from now, I could get sick of the Musers and go back to Hardline. But I like the fact that they offer variety of different personalities and shows, rather than listen to the same recycled Barry Bonds opinion voiced through 4 different hosts for 8 continuous hours. And really ... aside from The Hardline ... I think the Ticket talks about sports way more than people give them credit for. I think Bob Stern is the most knowledgable sports personality in the Dallas media, by quite a large margin.

Speaking of DFW sports radio... Has anyone listened to this new Sportsfan 990 AM station? I was just checking it out at noon, and it doesn't seem too bad. It's Timm Mathews (was he a DFW TV anchor?) and someone else, and at least they're talking Cowboys. They had a St. Louis writer on earlier, and now Calvin Watkins is on. I looked at their website and it looks like their early morning show to 9:00 is some show with Leon Simon and JJT. I always like hearing Leon's take, so it's good to see that he's back on the radio.

[verse: 1]
She said, "I need some time to find myself,
I need a little space to think.
Maybe we should start seeing other people.
Baby, things are moving way too fast for me."
So, I picked up what was left of my pride,
And I put on my walking shoes,
And I got up on that high road,
And I did what any gentleman would do..
I, um...

[chorus]
I got a brand new girlfriend.
We went and jumped off the deep end,
Flew out to LA for the weekend,
Spent the whole day lyin' on the beach,
Wearin' nothin' but a smile,
Playin' kissy-kissy, smoochy-smoochy,
Talkin' mooshy-mooshy 'bout nothin'.
Man, I think I'm on to somethin',
Ya know I feel just like a kid again.
I got a brand new girlfriend.

[verse: 2]
I love it when she calls me buttercup
She laughs and says I left the toilet seat up
She pops the top for me a cold beer
And says my buddy's always welcome here.
When I get hungry, she takes me out.
I'm ridin' shotgun like a ****zu hound.
My tails a waggin', my tung hangin' out
It makes me wanna shout...

[chorus]

Wooo...
Cute, cute, cute...

She likes to write our names in the sand.
Shes hearing wedding bells and making plans.
Shes gonna hang around a while I guess.
She hasn't even told me she loves me yet.

[chorus]

She makes me feel just like a kid again,
I gotta brand new girlfriend.

The Ticket is what it is.

And for what it is, it is awesome. I don't want to listen to it all the time, but I really enjoy it a lot of the time.

Yeah, its not pure, hard-nosed sports. It is "guy talk"--and it is awesome at that.

 

[cobra]

One thing to consider: it is guy talk, and guys talk about sports a lot. But it is not only about sports. If I am sitting around having some drinks talking to my friends, our conversations would track what they talk about on the ticket. We'd hit on the local sports teams for a while. We'd talk about movies or tv shows. Talk about music We'd make cracks about stupid news stories. We'd make fart jokes. And we'd rag on each other's lifes.

That is exactly what the Ticket is like.

Get Sirius NFL radio, people.

The "Ticket". God, how I loave them. The same crap, day after day after day. I'm amazed that they are still so high in the arbitron ratings. I enjoy the morning show until Gordon (hack) Keith begins his tired mundane "funny" segments. "Gordo" is about as talented as a shmuck actor on "Cheaters". Instead of listening to the "Hardline", as I drive home to my mansion in Frisco, I am more inclined to listen to the acerbic humor of Galloway and "radio boy". They entertain me but I still get insightful Cowboy news. Obviously, in our region, it doesn't take much to win a macaroni award.
The "Ticket's" 15 minutes of fame has lasted for much longer than I ever imagined. If it were not for the fact, that they signed the contract with the Cowboys, I would rarely listen. Other than Norm, THEY SUCK!! I'll listen for 3 hours and 3 hours ONLY on Sunday. It's a damn good thing that they have the Cowboy's radio broadcast under contract!
