985 The Sports Hub ratings nosedive..Why ?
- Thread starter superjj
- Start date
Both stations have pretty much turned me off to sports talk. And sports in general for that matter.

For those detractors of the Sports Hub that rely on the 6+ numbers to make their case...read...and weep. Despite "losing half their listeners," here are the 25-54 male numbers. They tell a MUCH different story...

98.5 vs. 850--Norm vs. Cliff.
Actually D&C are a part time sports show in between political discussions and railing on anything a democratic politician does.
T&R does a lot of comedy yes but many morning sports shows try to attract hardcore sports fans as well as casual sports fans and I believe you're going to attract more of those casual sports fans with comedy than you do partisan political discussions.
Mid days & nights are where you MUST be hardcore sports because the listeners who listen at that time are going to be die hards but mornings and to a lesser extent afternoon drive you have to have something more to pull the non die hards in as well.

Anyway, LAUROJRM, here goes:
I prefer D&C because it's a sports show. T&R is a comedy show along the lines of Opie and Anthony or Imus in the old days. There's nothing wrong with T&R, I just prefer a sports show.
Both station's mid-day shows are abominable. Moving Dale Arnold was the screw-up of the decade.
Long before there was a Sports Hub, I hated Felger. I have not listened to one second of his show on 98.5. If it had been Tony Mazz and almost anyone else(not LJ, Sterns, Mustard, etc.) I would have listened. But I can't stand Felger. He earned his well deserved nickname of DB on WEEI, by just making preposterous statements to get a reaction. Has he changed his act? I don't really get the "younger and fresher" term. Mazz and Felger have both been around for over 20 years.
I don't think 'EEI made the Big Show any better with the format change and the addition of Holley. What they should have done was to eliminate the bad co-hosts and only use the good ones like Buckley, McAdam, Bob Ryan, Curran, Maxwell, and a few others.
I don't usually listen at night, but for some odd reason Mikey Adams has always made me laugh. I think it's because his jokes are just so lame that I chuckle. I'm glad Mike joined the Big Show. The chemistry between Ordway and Holley wasn't working. They definitely needed a buffer.
I've given up on weekends. Both stations are horrendous. What is really bad about weekends is that you get the bottom of the barrell for callers. The callers that they won't let on the air or that get blown up during the week call all of the weekend shows.

Funny, he never had a problem with their ratings before.superjj said:They literally lost half of their audience as they go from a 5.2 to a 2.6 and 800,000 + cume to 400,000. Since the programming didn't change it HAS to be a PPM glitch. If I was CBS Radio I'd be PISSED and demand a meeting with arbitron for an explanation. I would also hold next months check to the ratings service, until the problem is rectified.
Wow. Shocking that a D & C listener would use the discussion of sports radio as a chance to interject a political opinion.

I don't think that's a good comparison of the age disparity - it's more like Woody Boyd (98.5) vs. Cliff Claven's Mother (EEI).

why didn't you post EEI demanding a meeting with Arbirton whey BZ's ratings spiked to 5.2? Hm?
