Honesty check: are people rooting for The Fan to fail?

[Talk_Dude]

This morning 93.7 carried the NFL Show from FAN 660 in NYC.

Guess not everyone got the memo, since some 660 ID's and at least two commercials for New York area businesses were broadcast on 93.7.

My first big complaint about The Fan: The show wasn't a nationally focused show, it was largely Giants and Jets and their opponents this weekend. I don't need a local show from another market.

It is absolutely a killer to have non-local football talk on a Steelers game day.

You people don't know how lucky you have it. You should thank the gods of radio that you have the options you have for sports coverage. Try listening to pre-game coverage of yesterday's game from Atlanta radio stations. Try dealing with sports radio where the NFL franchise is the #3 football team in fan interest, after them damn "dawgs" and Georgia Tech. Try listening to sports talk where getting people to buy tickets to the game is one of the major topics of conversation.

Clearly, the New York geniuses who concocted this mess on 93.7 suffer from the "everyone wants to hear about New York' mentality (the same school of thought that causes the media to crow about a "Subway Series" in baseball, which is promptly tuned out by the rest of the country.)

A NY kid in AM drive, a NY guy for four hours mid-day, a NY football show on the weekends... if they ever figure out that THIS IS NOT NEW YORK maybe they'll have a chance.

Another round of poor ratings. This time, even with Steelers talk. This time, even with retooling the lineup.

Ring-a-ling. Do you hear them ring? Soon The Fan will be playing christmas tunes...

Someone that is very honestly rooting for the fan to fail. I dont even care what they replace it with. Its time for this disgrace of a station to go away and sit in the Pittsburgh radio station graveyard with The Man Station.

I which case I guess Pitt will find their games on Star 100.7 or (gasp)....KD AM (in between the Tradio and Ask the Realtor?)

Looks like they've caught 1250 and with a higher cume, will we start hearing "Pittsburgh's Number 1 Sports Talk Station" promos soon?

a high cume just means that more and more people are tuning in they tuning out quickly...not staying very long. the real measure of there programing strength is "TSL". for talk stations that's the most important .
