KTSA vs WOAI
- Thread starter dlf1
- Start date
KTSA and WOAI in 12+m pretty much tie in AM Drive, but WOAI wins the rest of the day. In 25-54, WOAI wins mornings and midday, loses significantly7 in afternoons and evenings. Weekends both are dead.
I see KTSA has two morning hosts. One works 5 to 9 a.m., one does 7 to 11 a.m. So they overlap from 7 to 9. There's also a local PM drive host. The rest of the day is syndicated talk: Markley, Van Camp & Robbins in middays, Dave Ramsey in early afternoon, Lars Larson and Dana Loesch in evenings and Red Eye Radio overnight. Weekends are almost all infomercials and specialty shows.
WOAI has a local morning show and its afternoon host, Joe Pags, is syndicated from WOAI. The rest of the schedule is the iHeart Premiere conservative line up: Glenn Beck, Clay Travis & Buck Sexton, Sean Hannity, Jesse Kelly and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. WOAI also runs Michael Berry from KTRH Houston. Most of its weekends are also infomercials and specialty shows.
Other than KTSA running the financial show from Dave Ramsey and WOAI running Coast to Coast AM about the paranormal, it's all today's talk radio packaged in different ways. Everything conservatives and Republicans do is correct. Everything liberals and Democrats do is corrupt. But that's standard talk radio fare.

It's been a tough year for WOAI. Losing Rush and now it looks like Charlie Parker is easing towards retirement. At one time, Parker was WOAI's top show, consistetly #1 or 2 with the prime male demo and top 5 total persons prime demo. It will be interesting to see if current WOAI morning cast can maintain against Trey.
Yeah, narrow-minded hosts and even worst, listeners and radio owners who somehow think it's a good idea pandering (programming) to this narrow base.
As a longtime former talk radio listener, am glad I escaped the talk radio Angry White Men SAFE SPACE...
Hardly narrow. The two talk stations reach over 10% of the market when combined for unduplicated cume.
And, while you (and I were I living in that area) would never listen, the people who do listen have just as much right to hear their perspectives and viewpoints mirrored on the radio
In the last few months, the government of Nicaragua closed nearly all the Catholic Church's local stations. In the past, Russia jammed the signals of outside stations; Cuba still does to this day. Is that what you would prefer? (It is called censorship, by the way).
Maybe many of them are angry because they are frightened by people who want to prevent them from expressing their opinions.
Whoa, buddy, slow down. Never did I say their narrow, proportionally smaller views shouldn't be heard.
Only said the bombardment of 18 hours a day of syndicated hosts predictably blaming the Ds. for every negative thing possible (ala screechy Mark Levin) is very tiresome and an affront to logic, when the ideology of most Americans doesn't match talk radio's narrow "base," an echo chamber of one narrow ideology.
I recall talk radio stations that had a variety of hosts. It wasn't ALL politics. I didn't always agree with all the hosts, but enjoyed listening. I would never call a station's management and complain that a certain host "should be removed" because he didn't share my views (like today's talk radio audience would do dare anyone question the talk radio POLITICAL right CORRECTNESS).
Art Bell was right in the 1990s when he said radio was cutting its throat by airing ONLY politics most of the day.
