  • 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 will be surprised if Dan decides to get up early for morning drive.

Major Show Announcement tomorrow 

 

(on The Speakeasy)

What's the Speakeasy?

Earth shattering news at the Freak this morning. Matt Cather is leaving the morning show today. That is all.

Major announcement? About as important as that call you get everyday about a free digital security system or telling you your car’s warranty is about to expire.

So whatcha got for today? Word is it's gonna be Donovan + one other person from 10-3 today. No Hang Zone

That punkass, Jon Daniels. 

Bob is still out today. Not sure about Davey.

 

Guess we may know more about Dan and Jake in about 10 minutes

I found the one thing that led me to flip over to the Freak while driving this AM.  Junior's Tour De France talk.  Unfortunately 97.1 was equally terrible.

RIP Dan and Jake on the Ticket. Dongovan and SeaBass 10-3. 

With this lineup, I can't imagine I'll be listening to the station past 9:30. In my estimation.

The ticket just saying nothing while Dan and Jake go missing for weeks is completely insulting to the listener. They think the p1s are a bunch of idiots. So disrespectful. 

They could easily announce there's an ongoing issue and they will be gone momentarily without giving specifics and everyone will know what it is. There's no legal issue with doing that. 

Fuck the ticket management

If they let Jake walk it's pretty telling.  I can take or leave Dan personally (probably a minority opinion here) but Jake is pretty clearly the best talent under 40 and has been for years.

i think you are discounting what TC brought to the station.

Jake would be smart to maximize what money he can make in terrestrial radio.  All the others are in their 50s and from all accounts have been doing very well for at least a couple of decades.  There ain't a couple of decades left on the terrestrial radio ride for a younger guy like Jake.

Agreed.  If he got a competing offer that Cumulus didn't match, that seems to indicate Cumulus is going to squeeze all the profit they can over the next 5-10 years without any real succession planning.

THIS IS P1 ABUSE!

Bummer if it’s truly the end of Dan and Jake on the ticket.

I’d assume their show will go somewhere and I’ll still listen, but the continued breakup of the core group of guys is sad, especially when thinking about the big group trips to the Super Bowl, campound, etc. Dan and Jake balancing out Bob, Junior, and Corby in those settings is noticeable.

Some sort of “big” announcement on The Freak at 5:10

Ryhner says he’s gonna be a grandad…

Hang Zone to the Freak official!!!

Just kidding the announcement is Rhyner is going to be ah grand dad. So exciting

Welp - Rhyner is becoming a granddad.  Nothing with the Hang Zone.  As you were...

I think that email is legit. Corby just said "as we're finding out" about Christopher Nolan not trusting emails to not get out.

Big announcement is Rhyner’s daughter is pregnant.

Does she know who the mom is?

Looks like they really held out for total ownership of the show on a digital platform which Cumulus wasn’t going to allow. If true Jake should have stayed and teamed with Donovan and rather than hardnosing a deal with Dan. They were the 12-3 team; it’s not going to get the money of a drive time crew.

Oh well they’re gone. Dont give a shit really. It’s a nonevent. If true they pulled the pin on themselves. Taking a hard stance in this day in the radio bidness just isn’t a strong position for 99.5% of radio personalities.

January 1, 2020

George Dunham, Craig Miller, Gordon Keith, Norm Hitzges, Donovan Lewis, Dan McDowell, Bob Sturm, Mike Rhyner, Corby Davidson  A line up that was pretty much unchanged since Donnie joined BAD in what? 2011?

August 1, 2023

George Dunham, Craig Miller, Gordon Keith, Donovan Lewis, Bob Sturm, Corby Davidson, Dave Lane.

Then there is the myriad of lower-tier changes.

Been quite the 3.5 years.  

I wonder what competing digital interests they wanted to pursue were enough to tank everything? Is this about owning your own IP? Weren’t Dan and Jake just talking about defector media’s stance on this about a month ago? 

I hope this is true because this is hilarious.
