97.1 The Freak

[futureman 22477]

I remember seeing ratings for the ticket around 7-8+.  4 seems low. 

ok maybe that was for males 25-54.  I don’t know.

Getting whupped by WRR

Be interesting to see what happens with WRR when they fully transition to non-commercial.

Also Fuck You KNTU for going crappy indie rock. Apparently they caught enough blowback they are going to have an HD2 OTA broadcast.

do they count streaming in the ratings.............

Didn't realize most people didn't like Ben & Skin until this thread. I thought they were universally liked (besides me).

It varies.  Some stations put their streams on a separate PPM encoder (which bakes a non-audible signal into the broadcast that the Nielsen people meters pick up), while others put both broadcast and stream on the same encoder so they're all counted together.  You can tell the stations that encode separately on the ratings reports because the streams show up with "STR", as in "KTCK-STR".  Based on the latest 12+ reports, Cumulus and IHeart have combined the reporting for their stations while Audacy has not. https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb024

Since WRR is now all-Classical Christmas until Jan 1,  that should help them in the ratings.

i like skin on the mavs. they were a perfect weekend show as that feels like about all the time they have to fill. attempted to listen to the freak morning show yesterday. fucking worse than norm.

Shitty Ben & Skin surviving as the rest of the fucktards are fired is as fucking hilarious as when Ted Baxter survived in the Mary Tyler Moore finale. They are so fucking insipid and how they’ve had so many shows on different stations is ridiculous. They’ve never delivered even average ratings.

[mdleast 8295]

Wow. I think it kinda says everything about it that no one had posted in this thread for the last 1 year and four months.

[mdmost 43004]

WBAP meets Classic Rock!

[Texzilla588 769]

They’re bringing in Redbeard and Mark E Baby.

[RPM 26322]

They don't carry Mavs playoff games? Did they do a postgame?

[Gene Parmesan 4008]

I don't remember the timelines but did Danny and Sirois leave the ticket to do something else and then the freak started up, or did they leave the ticket for the freak?

[nolongerU2horn 767]

Sirois claimed he was leaving to go work for his brother but then he magically showed up on the Freak on day 1

Danny had to wait out a noncompete but it was pretty obvious he was leaving to go get Freaky

[nolongerU2horn 767]

Danny left May 20 2022

Sirois left June 3 2022

 

Freak started Oct 3 2022

There was plenty of talk about the station on the Ticket thread. Just easier to transfer over there. 

They should have kept Sirois and Danny for The Eagle and put them in the old Russ Martin afternoon drive slot. They would have had a shot with the rock listeners of developing decent ratings over time. 

I was excited for the station at first but damn was it terrible outside of Sirois and Danny, and that show took a year to materialize. 

[Texzilla588 769]

Instead they kept awful Ben and Skin, who are the Ted Baxter’s of the situation.

[Pato del Muerto 52522]

Aw. 
 

Freak out.
