sorry, what is diff. between ratings and sellable ratings? q101.1's ratings now? When Mancow was there?
not much of an argument

who cares about q101 & cow? he's not getting hired anywhere else either.
sellable ratings.

immutable.

immutable..."immutable" you must be a suit with tassles on your shoes...what did Mancow do to you? Tell you what you listen for 30 minutes of him and I will listen to someone else on Chicago morning drive and we can discuss the pros and cons of the shows...deal?

 

[always sunny]

i've never discussed the quality of his show. it's meaningless if you can't sell it. (how many times do i need to type that?) 30 mins or 30 years...YOU CANNOT CONVERT the ratings to revenue. DO YOU COMPREHEND THIS?

 

[irishivy]

sorry, I'm not "in" the business. can you explain sellable vs ratings=sales?

 

[alexanderthepeon]

Sure. Shock jocks are blacklisted by agency do not buy lists as controversial programming. Makes their great ratings harder to sell.

 

[irishivy]

why is he still thought of as a "shockjock" people need to hear the show, he is far from a "shockjock" at least in my definition.

 

[always sunny]

once a shock jock ..always (in the minds of clients) a shock jock. non-sellable ratings.

 

[irishivy]

so your saying the client thinks of him as a sort of "1 trick pony"? do they listen to the show? did they not make $$$ off of him in the past. Please answer the old question about sellable ratings vs rating we see a few times a year in the papers. thanks.
