Last time we see BaD Radio broadcasting on 1310 The Ticket? |
My thoughts? I really believe this is a leveraging move by BaD radio to get the best possible deal from Cumulus. BaD Radio won't leave their situation to deal with the management and instability of CBS radio. Could it happen? Absolutely! Bigger budget and better signal. I'm sure that is a factor no doubt. This isn't the first time this has happened, Mike Rhyner was tempted with the offer to take The Hardline to The Fan. At the last minute Cumulus came through and kept the HL. This situation is similar but not exactly the same. The other rumors are that Cumulus is cutting across the board. I heard about it a while ago that the lineup at The Ticket could change very soon. I brushed it off and said, "Whatevs man! BaD Radio forever!". I could be severely heart broken but at the end of the day, BaD radio won't be dead, just on a different channel. It won't be the same but I respect the brain of Bob Sturm too much to just turn my back on him. My respect for Skin is the reason I check in on B&S on The Fan. The Fan will then change their line up even more drastically in the last 6 months than The Ticket. Interesting to see what happens.
Replacements have been talked about. I've heard Black and Quack (Donovan Lewis and Rich Phillips) taking over temporarily until they find a full time replacement. I think some other viable replacements might include Cirque Du Sirois who have filled in at times. I've heard people suggest The Shake Joint (Sean Bass and Jake Kemp) but for some reason I don't see Cat giving them the job. I would love to hear them but there is just not a long track record as a show. We shall see. Everyone relax (I'm only saying this to calm myself down.) at the end of the day we will still have BaD Radio and they will still be the same guys. Better signal, I'm down. Will they be able to handle The Fan's management? STAY TUNED.......
UPDATE: Not really an update but I did forget to say that Bob and Dan have the same agent as Ben and Skin....so there's that. I don't think that really matters.
I simply cannot see McDowell lasting any length of time under Fan management. He just doesn't tolerate bad management quietly. If it happens, its a bad move.
