If you think the ratings here stink, take a look at WFAN in New York!
For the first time in over a decade the fan lost in afternoon drive to their ESPN rival. F A N new afternoon show is awful! Bart Scott talking early season Yankees and Mets is like listening to paint dry. The point I'm making is that both Entercom (CBS) sports station in the top markets in the country dropped the ball on line up changes. The score fumbled TWICE in less than 2 years! First with B and G and now this latest shit show.
The Score will suffer during mid days. Pairing Dan with Connor was a dumb choice. Some around the score hallways know it too! Looking forward to next months ratings to see the head to head against Kap from 9-12. 2 Dan's in the afternoon sounds ok. But I honestly would have moved Parkins and Matty to afternoons. I know Jimmy loves Mac and it's Jimmy's show now, but with Mac's vocal issues(excuse while I puff down my USA Gold) I'm worried 2 Dan's in the afternoon will be short lived.
Too bad Chicago doesn't have a 3rd talker(Denver has 5 for Pete sake!). Would have love to see how younger talent in this city would fare against SCR AND MVP. There's one, in particular, killing it in Vegas and I know would kill it in Chicago.
The Score should be thankful they're not WLS-AM and they're shit show. According to Feeder, Steve Dahl afternoon is ranked 25th!!!!!
Explain how this is possible.
Four of the 5 sport talkers in Denver are mostly live and local
It's been a real expansion over the years, I give it a few more before a few of them bow out.
1.1043 is the top dog- covers broncos, NFL, and mixed with the local teams
2.AM 760 the I heart station is a niche station focusing only on the broncos, mixed with NFL and that's it.
3.Altitude is a local RSN that added sports radio to their mix- flagship of the nuggets, avs, they'll talk broncos and Rockies as well.
4. A non rated sports talker called Mile high sports.
The only national station is an am ESPN radio one.
Again, Denver does not need 4 local sport talkers. I'd capped it at 3. There's no reason why Chicagoland cannot have the same.
It's too bad 105.5 the ticket bleeds with Star 105 and the other 105 in the area. If only Matt at CKG would get his head out of his ass and at least have a morning sports talker to grab a piece of the scores pie(will take a consultation fee)
With sports betting on the horizon and IL in line to legalize it, given the amount of non bear NFL Fan's in this market, and the mostly boring sport yappers in this town, there's no reason why a 3rd talker can't put those stations on it's heels!
