  • 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

I'm admittedly an idiot when it comes to this but the "rating" and "share" column for The Ticket is approximately 40% higher than the four stations tied for second, right? That seems pretty substantial to me.

Sure, no argument there.  The rating is a percentage of the total population of the DMA that listen in an average quarter hour, and share is the percentage of people listening to radio that are listening to a particular station.  You could argue the merits of either.  I just know that agencies/media buyers use the rating (they buy gross ratings points over the course of a spot schedule) in making their decisions.

Does corby think anyone gives a flying fuck about his political views? Sick of that crap, I hate politics and don’t want to hear it on my brainless radio programs

I get it. But the way you posted it initially was that The Ticket's lead was razor-thin all of a sudden. It doesn't appear that way when you really look at it. Yes?

Nah, I haven't misrepresented/misinterpreted anything. If you want to take me to task for my "nipping at their heels" comment that's fine, but it's absolutely true for mornings and middays. And the overall lead is growing smaller by the month. That's just a fact. If I took the time to chart it, the line would show it's been that way for the last five years, with slow (but steady) growth pretty much every quarter. 

I know people are tired of the conversation so my apologies- I'm just responding.

I can't believe that many people listen to the eagle.  Has it always been like that or did the edge folding give them a bump?

Nipping at heels is total misrepresentation.  You should go start a FAN thread for your sports talk, you fraud.  

You mad bro? You just hate facts fanboi?

And you should go fuck your mom.  I think I'll stay for a while.

No thanks. Mom passed away in ‘00. 

Can’t wait to see your misrepresentation of July numbers. 

I haven't decided yet if I'm going to post them. I'm tired of arguing with someone that can't read.

Or, you’re tired of people calling you out on egregious manipulations?

Manipulations huh. You cite Barry Horn at every turn. The same Barry Horn who's company was (and still is) a major partner of the Ticket when he wrote those columns.

Stick to what you know.

They should just fuck each other because it's clear that's what they want to do.

Not many options for rock radio anymore. KZPS and KEGL are about it. Jack-FM is lame and ... hell, I can't think of another rock station in DFW.

Barry Horn uses Column 5 (or whatever). You were citing Column 3 (or whatever). They are almost exactly the same distance apart in percentage numbers.

The lead is eroding yet it's still 40% higher than the #2 competitors. I still think that points to a pretty healthy gulf at this point.

No no no, man, 40% = nipping at heels. You just made the band, fanboi.

97.5 Pirate Radio was started by John Rody of The Zoo. It's 100% local music and programming, but their signal is extremely weak. It barely reaches outside 820.
