And I did. Just because it's "the way it is" doesn't mean it's not disappointing when the time comes to accept that the business is the business. The Ticket is an incredible thing. There's a reas

Still going with that bit? What if I gave you a shoutout from my verified (cue Vivaldi) Twitter account?

Stopped by Normathon on the way to the Liquor Store. Had a brisket Sammie from Earnest B’s BBQ. Did not disappoint.

Got damn that just looks fucking sad all the way around. Nobody there but some dork asses, and Norm's boring ass couldn't even keep them from all staring into their phones. 

Then the sandwich looks like something Dickeys might not even be proud of

You are wrong about the sandwich.

The Oak Cliff Con Man's vanity project is going great. Really helping generate even more interest in the Ticket. According to Welpton, this includes the Greggo reunion and White Elephant Day. Every Ticket show rose Nov-Dec. And that Musers number. 

December ratings:

MAN, that's a lot of fat guys in one pic

There were plenty of Chris Chris bros in the back amongst the Whataburger paraphernalia, along with smartly dressed Infinity salesmen. All apparently trying to keep up with their Cross Fit regiments during the Holidays.

hangzone doing better numbers than the hardline.  thats pretty telling.

I’m not sure it is telling. The difference is negligible and was better for HL in October.  I don’t know what drive time competition HL goes up against. I just know it’s not The Freak.  I do think it’s indicative that the HZ has a really good product that drives listeners to listen at odd times, and they do, and dominant their competition. That’s about all it tells me - not an anti-HL referendum.

ok.  drive time should be pulling a bigger number than sweet clean noon to three every month.  it tells me that people go out of their way to listen to the hang zone and there is a pretty decent number of people not listening to the hardline in drive time.  i bet if you look at it over the past few years, the old hardline would be pulling a muser like number and bob and dan were not sniffing the same number.

It's weird. The old Hardline pulled way better numbers, the main guy from that show has a show on another station now, but according to the ratings he's not the one taking those listeners. 

The horrific traffic in DFW from 5 to 7 tells me it isn't a lack of people driving. Maybe the survey ratings are screwing it up somewhere and not as accurate as we think? Or did people just bail to internet based entertainment.

The Ticket has a 25 year head start. Look at the year one ratings. Sure Rhyner, Sirois & Co dragged a base audience from there. But it's year one. Changes will happen. When is Dan's contract up?

You're wishing for something to happen. Dan isn't leaving the Ticket for something that might not make Valentine's Day given how top heavy the salaries are for what little they're pulling in. Yeah, IHeart has money but they took a risk and it's failing badly. They drove off listeners from a steady thing.

There's a huge difference in year 1 of the Ticket in 1994 when there was no sports talk radio competition except for Norm in the morning or Galloway at night and not a ton of listening options. Now with Spotify, podcasts, and other media, format changes don't seem that impactful. If Rhyner wasn't hitting the ground running with an impressive share from the get go then it's not happening for him. Yeah, he syphoned off a sliver but it's not like people are just going to start clamouring for his show, especially during a decent Cowboys run. 

Could the Musers leave? I guess. Will they or why would they? Cumulus has shown they will pay up for them. Maybe Dan and Jake make a jump but Jake doesn't seem interested in doing the type of radio The Freak is failing at. I absolutely hope they use the Freak, much like the Texas OC position does for other team's OCs, to earn more money for themselves.

I would say they're loyal to each other and what they built. There's a reason the Ticket hasn't had any defections since 2000. If you're Dan and you struggled in the early part of your career to get to a top 5 market, you really want to leave a 20 year position for an upstart that is failing badly? It would almost be smarter to go to the Fan instead than Spite FM.

Lol at the notion of Dan leaving. Rhyner won’t clear Christmas and maybe not Valentine’s Day. I hope Sirois can honestly go and work with his brother, and Danny and Grubes are self sustained. Any avenue for Julie to be on the air that closes is a very good thing.

the Freak eff’d up not working another week while the Ticket went drydock. Bad decision coach. Also the app SUCKS.
I like the Downbeat but I don’t see the Freak making Christmas ‘23.

They don't have enough talent for a full station but I do agree about the downbeat. It's hit it's stride and has been better than anything that doesn't directly involve Gordo or Dan. It blows the hardline out of the water.

They should just go back to the Eagle and play rock music except for 3-7 when they have the downbeat. It's the only show they need. The others are just trash
