Probably not. Seems like they were charging too little for them.

So looking into that KVUE article, it looks like Austin Radio Network's Managing Partner Jason Nassour is a former Williamson County Attorney and is being charged with evidence tampering in the death of Javier Ambler in 2019. Some shady shit going on at The Horn HQ...

[PantsTent 2002]

I assume this is somehow Bob Cole's fault.

He’s not at the Disch tonight so maybe there’s hope.

Do we have enough money in the wreath fund to buy them out and get Surly Radio on the air?

The C is for Cinnamon, the A is for Agave and the T is for Tequila!

To be fair, it helps Hardge spell Cat.

Say what you will, but I enjoy Ed and Jeff being back together for my afternoon drive home. Their chemistry just works and is good for at least a few stupid chuckles. Beats Babers and Hardge trying too hard.

Ah.  Thought Jeff was lunchtime, I guess he moved.  I'm never in the car then, it's not like I'd hear either.

Yeah Jeff and Ed have quite a bit of nostalgia for me and I like that.  I really like Babers but Hardge is just so so bad.  He seems like a nice guy but just consistently awful takes.  And listening to him struggle through trying to read ads is brutal.

I like Jeff ward well enough. I think babers is Austin’s best talent and he’ll move on to bigger and better things one day. Hardge seems nice but he rarely says stuff that I fond insightful, but his banter and play off rod is ok. Ed is a spineless tool and I would prefer he and chad be quarantined together if they have to be on air.

[LCHorn 2620]

Babers isn't going anywhere--that dude is a Triple A lifer. 

[ztejas 43452]

Hogan is still easily the best talent. 

Rod just doesn't have as much experience. He doesn't know how to let a broadcast breathe and frequently gets too into the weeds going in depth with certain stuff. I think he'd be better suited for a podcast rather than the grab bag bullshittery that you need on local drive time radio.

104.9 is listenable to me every morning and then about half the time in the late afternoons.  Hogan and Rod would be the best match up and I hope he takes over in the mornings when Bucky retires.  Harge is bad but not nearly as bad as Chad and Zay.  Hearing them play promos with Zay blubbering about sexually explicit things makes me want to jump out of my car on Mopac.  Just stop dude, there’s a time and place for racy jokes, but sports talk isn't it  and you’re not funny enough to pull it off anyway. And then Chad tries to make himself sound like some music guy waxing on about the shittiest music ever.  They are terrible.  Haven’t heard Jeff in years but I always thought his whole schtick is to take one side of the story and fucking run with it when there is a completely logical other side that he just ignores as it’s presented to him over and over again and steamrolls on even after someone proves him to be misinformed.  

There.  My semi annual radio bitchfest is done.

Whatever fill in show the Horn is broadcasting this morning is talking about betting on mens and womens tennis.

What kind of degenerate is betting on tennis?

[Native Horn 3504]

yeah, it's become quite the racquet.  Don't love it.

Probably the same kind that listens to syndicated fill-in sports radio on a holiday.

Probably, but still, tennis?

My car radio is always set to 104.9. Sometimes I get in and am accosted by Chad and Zay, so I guess I’m just lucky it wasn’t them filling in.

[South Austin 52508]

I’d be fine with Rod replacing Bucky in the morning. I’m guessing he won’t interrupt Erin Hogan’s train of thought every 10 seconds with some random comment. 

[jimmyjazz 45957]

So Austin's least favorite radio honk Trey Elling has landed a late night spot on 102.7? 

Guy needs to just give it up and sell cars or something.

[Pam Cummings 9642]

Elling is a weirdo. Can't just analyze sports and keep it light. Thinks he's a big brain and has to lecture everyone.

With his irritable and unenthusiastic mannerisms, the last thing a business wants is to put him on the front lines marketing its product.

[ztejas 43452]

They were talking about best athletes to never win a championship this morning and the 3rd wheel on B&E (their producer I guess) said "Ken Griffey never won a championship with the Mariners?". Erin goes "uhh no the Mariners have never won".

Then seconds later he goes "Clyde Drexler never won with the Trailblazers?"

Like holy fuck dude you're on sports radio. You sound like someone's wife.

To be fair, their producer was probably 2-3 years old when Vince won the national championship.

I mean they weren't exactly talking about Cap Anson and George Mikan. 

I'd expect anyone piping in to a fairly big local show to have basic knowledge of, say, the last 40 years of the big 3 sports leagues, college football and college basketball. 

Then again this is the station that has Chad and Zay on the air 20 hours a week.

The dead air during those days they were locked out for not paying rent probably drew higher ratings than Chad and Zay.

So is the ESPN station going to scoop up someone like Erin Hogan?  The guy's been a fixture in Austin sports radio for a couple decades and seems like he's one of the few folks at 104.9 who could find a landing spot in Austin.  Others might have to re-locate or start selling insurance. 

[hayden_horn 11362]

i just don't understand the radio business, i guess. maybe it's the cost of living and rent for studio space has gone through the roof, and from what i understand, they were using some prime real estate. 

but there has got to be a way to balance the books on a sports content terrestrial radio show in austin fucking texas, even if the general consensus is that the medium is supposedly dying. dying like newspapers, in the race to the bottom and the inability to figure out a revenue model not based in the 18th century, it's always the content. you make good content and people will consume it. find a way to make terrestrial radio work without 20 minutes of commercials an hour. that's 1/3 of your listener's time, when there are podcasts and spotify out there.

fuck's sake, get it together, radio. shorter breaks, charge more for ads, fuck i dunno. think differently. oh, and pay talent, stop paying admin. but that's everywhere.
