Is Don Martin KILLING Fox Sports Radio

At least Mike & Mike & Colin Cowherd of ESPN radio are not fixated on a single market's teams; they're very good at covering everybody.

Live & local is a great matra to believe in and operate under, but it does cost a lot of $$$$, and most of these conglomerates are deep in red ink.
 
In the latest PPM Ratings KSPN has overtaken KLAC. KSPN has a 1.1 and KLAC 1.0. KSPN has a cume of 602,900 and KLAC 503,000.

Don Martin is NOT having second thoughts about BRUNO
even thought WEEI in Boston is duming the show (and Fox)
that girl is Bruno's girlfriend ...

TONY BRUNO is NOT a failed experement no matter what it says in the papers
 
What's ironic is that Money is from the mid-west originally, but I guess he has gone HOLLYWOOD

Matt "Money" Smith is a star in the making, dudes sharp as a razor

I thought Matt was great for Lakers Pre & Post game. He'll be missed this year.
 
lots of traffic on this tread
lost of sports radio fans
a lot of sports radio fans are talk radio fans ...
 
I like Petros.

I like Money.

Both have good takes; Both are entertaining...

Unless they are paired with each other. They talk over each other (and the callers) incessantly. I literally cannot hear what each is saying screaming. When I can hear what they are saying, they are usually trying to outwit each other with non-sports cultural references. Guys, we get it - you're well-rounded individuals who can talk more than just sports. But it IS a sports talk show we're tuning in to. And there are other teams in town besides the Lakers (of course I am assuming no one told you it is a national show and not everyone outside of SoCal cares about the Lakers and Dodgers).

In the end, I end up tuning out because they give me a headache. It's hard to beleive, but John and Ken are actually more soothing to the ear in comparison.
 
you think Don Martian is playing favorites with commercials

Petros seems to be the voice...
is this making Bruno and some of the others upset?
 
Petros is Don Martin's boy no doubt about it! He protects him over any other personality on the station. Remember after the on-air incident between Petros and McDonnell... Joe was history!

I'm calling Barry to see if he can HOOK IT UUUUuuuuuuUUUUUuuUUUUUUUP!

Normally loud commercials and loud announcers annoy me to no end, but as grating as Petros' voice can be I think those ads are hilarious and I love PMS.

Is this bruno? hmmm :)
 
two things I've noticed about the extra PMS hour (no fusion): 1. Vic the Break seems completely off-air (at least today), and PMS keep referring to their new 1st hour as "the fake show". I assume it's a national syndication thing? Wonder why they killed the 'fusion'? I was under the impression that hour was one of the highest rated of the day.

I was in the car today and I have AM 570 on my preset and also XM 142 the satellite radio feed of Fox Sports Radio and I noticed on my dash it said Myers & Hartman, so I turned up the volume and there they were on the air. I then tuned to AM 570 and it was Petros & Matt, so the extra hour of PMS is for L.A. only. Good to see that at least Don added one hour of local sports-talk.
 
So, today 'Hartman & Myers' is now called "The Lounge - a sports round table" (or something like that). They have Hartman, Myers, Vic, and then some others either calling-in or on isdn lines. Def trying to shake things up at klac. I hope it works. I'd miss KLAC if it flipped. Can't really get into 710's line-up at all.

I just finished listening to some of it (I was out to pick up lunch during the middle of the hour), and it definitely has potential. Today's guests were former NFL coach (and new coach of the San Francisco team in the United Football League) Dennis Green, and former MLB general manager Jim Bowden (who's an occasional fill-in and weekend host on the network). I though I would hate the Myers and Hartman Show, but it's grown on me...the less Vic the Brick, the better. I can't get into 710 much either anymore...too many commercials.
 
Now I hear the content factory SOLD Patrick and Bruno ???

even though they hate change no one should fell bad
No one is giving up on them. They will be bigger then ever
