North just signed off with the thank-yous, the farewell music bed, and the thank-yous. I'd like to hope that this no crosstalk with Muggy and Hanley becomes permanent.

Reason why we haven't done crosstalk alot lately....Mully/Hanley have been in Bourbonais and with the possibility of getting a guest on the fly, we decided that we should hold off crosstalk that way they can start their show starting right at 10:00am or somewhere near that time. When the crew is in studio.....we will do crosstalk.

Drat!

Zing.

While it might be a zing it is also a fact. Why Mully doesn't ask to stop this is amazing. Mully seems like he could care less however. He just cares about his Sun Times gig. Most shows start there "Cross talk" during their portion of show. Sometimes it might bleed over. Not Pappy. He's rushing through his 40 minutes of commercials per hour so he has to take 25% of the next guy. Mully & Hanley are nothing special but why would they want that cancer taking up their show. Pappy can't beat his direct competition (M&M) so he starts the next show behind the eight ball.

To be factually correct, I think its more in the 18% range, but for the love of God, get the f off the air at 10, we are done with your shit at that time. Keep up the great work Rock, maybe soon you guys can crack the top 20 morning shows.

It's actually more then 25% of the show. If you guys consider the new clock the Score is on. They front load the hosts air time in the first half hour. So it's more then 25 % when you consider that they load the commercials to the back end any way. So basically Mully and Hanley can't get into their show until the 2nd hour.

In a normal hour, the show would go from 10:03 to about 10:26-27 with no commericals. They have about 2 minutes of commericals, come back and do a scoreboard update at 10:30, and then take some calls until about 10:38 or so, take 5 minutes of commerials, come back for about 3 or 4 minutes, take breaks until about 10:52, come back for 1 minute to preview the next hour typically, and then break to the 11:00 hour.

So, I'm seeing 25 + 10 minutes (including the scoreboard update) + 4 minutes + 1 minute each hour which would give about 40 minutes each hour.

Now, I like the 25 minutes at the top of the hour, but I hate the last 30 minutes or so of each hour. If they need their 20 minutes of commericals each hour, I just say have four, 5 minute commerical breaks....you can have one 10:25, 10:55, 10:45 and one other one at any given time....

Too much math for me...cross over was a hallmark of the SCORE golden age and I like it.

Yeah, I put too much thought into that myself...Basically, the conclusion is that in a normal hour there is about 40 minutes of show, and 20 minutes of commerical.

Start the crosstalk at 9:40 if it is gonna continue. On days when I am up by 10, I sometimes listen to Mully and Hanley, but the last thing I want to hear is North or Annie. Their show is only 2 hours, lets not waste 20 minutes of that hearing North talking just to hear himself.

No doubt...it isn't enough for North to ruin his own show he has to infect someone else's.
