Do national sports shows get ratings in any markets?
- Thread starter EDavis
- Start date
Without addressing the actual ratings numbers, I'm sure it depends on the quality of the lcoal shows available in a particular market. For instance, here in San Antonio, I can't imagine how these 2 morning show idiots, Jeff Vexler and Walter Pasacrita, draw any listeners whatsoever. I find myself listening sometimes just because the show is such a train wreck, I'm fascinated by how awful it is. There are days where I don't think they take more than a call or two over the course of 3 hours, because no one wants to talk to them. And for good reason.

Most syndicated shows don't get ratings, and in the case of ESPN - it doesn't matter. They exist simply to pimp the brand names and ego-maniac no talents like Dan Patrick fill 3 hours during insignificant time slots. Rome used to get ratings in his harmless slot also..but those kinds of shows are easy filler with so little local talent around. Local stations will build the stations around good morning and afternoon shows and plug-in Rome and Patrick who would never be on drive drive because the shows have zero entertainment value and wouldn't get ratings in am or pm drive.
I think Bruno was getting am drive numbers in some places like San Antonio, Tampa, San Francisco and some in LA..but never huge ratings. Sports stations don't really need ratings to sell time. Some stations with zero ratings can still find strip clubs and other small time clients to buy time.

Sports stations do not get good overall ratings and they dont need it. Sports stations narrowcast to a very specific demographic...males 18-34. A sports station can be at the bottom of the 12+ ratings chart and make tons of money simply by delivering young males to their advertisers.

Does the STL still have the Sports Explosion? I remember Jim Rome raved about that name when they became an affiliate of his. Nice departure from names like the Score, Ball, Ticket, etc.<P ID="signature">______________
