So I did something very foolish. I gave Richie Whitt $4.95. Well here is what I found. Not exactly the riveting stuff. I'm apart of some pay walls and they provide insight and even inside info. The only thing that was "inside" was the ratings which can easily be found.
Richie talks about a radio show or something that he heard from a "friend" that heard it sometime Sunday I guess. I have never heard of this show and if someone can give me some insight let me know. I don't know if they aired an episode of the Broadcast as a trade off. Whatever but Richie said, " For a rabid fandom that constantly trashed The Fan for having the audacity to give air time to the likes of Sybil and Jane Slater and Jasmine Sadry, surely this type of show - even as a weekend time-filler - won't be embraced. Right?"
Did the Ticket trash chicks on the radio, yeah probably. Mostly because most of them are awful at it. Well that was worth it right. Hearing that he heard from a friend that The Ticket was playing a "chick show". I'm sure glad I paid for that, and that was his great big tease.
Richie then quote some Mandela quote which I don't have the interest to even quote. I paid for that. Richie then leaves you a link to check out his FREE blog on NBC 5. Then write two sentences about defending the ban of tailgating at the Superbowl. He then commented on the throwing contestant that threw like a jerk wad. He's being topical guys. He also wants the ice to melt, which I actually tend to agree with him. Thanks Richie for all that. I'll leave you a quote from him.
"Today? Let's all thaw out. And hopefully chill out. Maybe some quiet time in the sauna. I mean, if I had a sauna. Don't be a stranger."
I also wanted to talk about his ratings blog which revealed the poor ratings of The Fan and the complete dominance of The Ticket.
October/ November

"Meanwhile, 105.3 The Fan and its bozo of a boss failed to capitalize on the Cowboys' dramatic season or the Oct. 7 departure of ESPN's Randy Galloway. From October to November The Fan suffered ratings losses across the board, including its new midday show, GBag Nation."
Real interesting to see a slight drop in ratings by The Fan even by G-Bag Nation. Its crazy that Ben & Skin hasn't been able to gain steam. I'm still rooting for those guys.
