... but I just don't see them throwing that much $ at the radio station -> the main purpose of which is to market their espn products, etc.

Exactly, the entire espn radio national syndicated show group - Mike & Mike, Cowherd, Gottlieb, etc - is soooo and painful to listen to. A good friend of mine from college has a 4-6 pm show on the ESPN Radio affiliate in Columbia, MO and has told me several times the "mothership" doesn't care about ratings, quality, etc as long as the "core marketing principles" are met.

Totally agree. I wonder if had a shorter show (i.e. 12-3, 4-7) if he would invest just a tad more into research, preparation, etc. When has , he's at his best - for entertainment and in unintentional comedy

There were so good looking coeds at the scrimmage yesterdee better than the cheerleaders

It'll be give and take though less time = fewer chances for hilarious callers

Rovell tweeted that the rangers were the favorites for the Stanley cup at 11/4

NOW OR NEVER
On Monday, ESPN-1050 boss David Roberts will take the two Dixie Cups and piece of string, the symbol of the stations’ weak signal, and flush them down the toilet.
Now his crew has a powerful signal, 98.7 FM, to blast sportstalk from. With this power comes responsibilities.
There can be no more excuses. Over the years, many of the station’s talent — some who no longer work there — would say 1050’s weak signal was holding them back. Stuff like: “If we had a bigger stick we could beat FAN in the ratings.”
It was hard arguing with that assessment. But now the playing field is level. And you can bet Roberts, and the Faculty at Bristol Clown Community College, are looking for some tangible ratings results, the kind of numbers that will break FAN’s stanglehold on the market.
Management has put its talkies on some fast horses. Now it’s up to them to win the race. If they falter, we don’t see management being all that patient. Evidence was provided by two subtle moves the suits made prior to Monday’s 98.7 FM launch.
Stephen A. Smith was moved into the 1 p.m.-3 p.m. slot. This may not wind up being his permanent home. Look at SAS as an insurance policy. If the powerhouse signal doesn’t drive ratings for “The Michael Kay Show” it would be absolutely no surprise if Smith is added to the cast of that program to stir things up.
And does anyone think Patrick McEnroe was hired to just work in weekend wasteland? Look for him to be shifted around during the week if ratings don’t rise.

1. Talkies? Mason is really Raissman?

2. If they are looking at SAS as an insurance policy against bad ratings their lawst.

3. Patrick McEnroe hosting a weekday radio sports talk show? In New York?! yeah that is going to work out well

You think he has a legit shot of making the team or just trading camp material with maybe a PS spot?

I'd say he'll make the team or the PS. He has good fundamentals and work ethic. He would be better in a wco system though.
