When half the posts in their show thread are about Adam Carolla, Mitch and Rod should be concerned.

They've been dead and gone for years.

SomeGuy was ahead of the curve on this about 3 years ago.

The haters hated, but SomeGuy is now vindicated.

Ya know, I kept thinking Hussra and I could take it to the podcast section, but it was a Sterling discussion and about race, so gotta be B and B

They've been dead to me since the glory days of Penn State talk.

I don't know, but if I were a radio exec I would consider a bunch of goofs who spend the better part of each day listening to and discussing sports radio a pretty good focus group.

the ratings generated from the people meters sell advertising better than a message board group does... it seems like 75% of this board "hate listens" to B&B 5 hours a day anyway.

Except when they're listening to Adam Carolla.

Right, and many of us dont listen to the show but just react to the quoted material.

Why do you love to see people hurt?!

I hadn't listened to the show in weeks, but I tuned in to see how Dan would reconcile the Sterling stuff with his love for Jerry Reinsdorf. Can't say I was disappointed!

Yeah, Mitch is really shitting razor blades over dopes on a message board who can't wait to post a litany of their thoughts, on a daily basis, on why they can't stand listening to a show ...

You don't know much.

Do advertisers pay for internet chatter or does the radio have to actually be on?

Do you not believe in poll numbers? This message board is no different than a poll. It should be pretty obvious less people within this group are listening to the show. I would suggest that if a group of the most rabid listeners is tuning out, it may not be a stretch to say a larger group of more casual ones is likely doing so as well.

There are companies that monitor online blogs & boards. Our little board here is a free focus group for Mitch. Does he read this board? Who knows...but he would be foolish to not check in occasionally. Having said that, all that really matters is that the advertising revenue continues to grow. If that stops, then the B&B show is in trouble.

You don't have to guess, there are ratings for that. He can look at the ratings to see if more people are tuning out as well.

Stop hating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just check Facebook. There is a Boers and Bernstein are my heroes page that clutters my news feed all day long with stuff. Everyone still loves B&B.

DEAL WITH IT.

I treat this board, in the sense of a poll, as I would most of the other "polls" ... unscientific and based only marginally in fact ... and certainly not enough so that I'm going to change programming based on 4 dozen dopes' opinions whether they're favorable or not favorable.

Not that this conversation isn't interesting, but wouldn't ratings and sales performance make this angle moot? You could have a corpse as the single host (ie just having Terry fly solo) but if the ratings and sales were good then I suspect they wouldn't dare touch the programming.
