KTCK Adding Dan Patrick?

[AlanB]

From Tom Taylor's newsletter this morning:

Dan Patrick’s landing in Dallas, San Fran, Atlanta, and nearly 20 other Cumulus markets.
Some of those stations – like “Ticket” KTCK in Dallas – have been traditionally very resistant to using syndicated programming, so it’s a nice score for the Chicago-based Content Factory. Speaking of “score” – Content Factory managing partner Chris Crane tells me they’re now able to confirm that Patrick’s daily show has been signed to CBS Radio’s WSCR there in Chicago. That’s been a rumor for several weeks, but it’s being announced today. (Will that be on a delayed basis, clearing in the evening?) There are some other non-Cumulus affiliates being confirmed today: Greater Media’s WPEN, Philadelphia and Clear Channel’s KBME, Houston. The Cumulus group deal covers more than 20 markets, including the San Francisco “Ticket.” Plus the Dickey Brothers-owned WCNN, Atlanta. Crane says the Patrick syndication’s up to 61 stations and eight of the top 10 markets. Now – they wait to see the ratings and the revenue.

Good deal. Guess he's finally bailing out of that albatross at 1160, giving up on conservative talk and going all sports.

No, wait, this is the Dan Patrick who once jocked at KBOX-1480 in the 60s. Or was it 1460 in the 80s?

Sheesh, guys, don't any of you have a middle name you could go by instead?

Im sure Dan Patrick will be on after the Top 10 or at 10pm instead of Todd Wright...

Considering how many people their are with the same name as mine, I do have a few nicknames. One of them I have used on-air a few times. Perhaps some of you out there know what it is.

Dan Patrick was decent on Sportscenter and ESPN Radio, wonder how going solo with a non-sports related employer will affect his show

Neither the national sportscaster Dan Patrick or the state senator/radio host Dan Patrick use their real names professionally. Both adopted the name useage when each was early in his career, and unknown to each other, or to common audiences.

Um, dunno. Thinking me likes the fun fish hanging on the wall. Nicely done, Mr. Shannon.

He had some decent schtick and he does have a sports "sterm" big brain, so if you are looking for some good sports, he's got it. But it will be another ESPN show in the minds of so, so many people. Dan is typecast unfortunately. And please, if he even thinks about using some of legendary SportsCenter catch phrases, forget it. Next, Boomer will be on as a guest host. Who knows? Now that Patrick and Olbermann are both independent of ESPN... man, that's a show! They were great together.

Just in case anybody was wondering, Dan Patrick's show will air on the Ticket 9p-12a after the top 10. It will be made official sometime next week.

That's fine by me. Much better than the syndy stuff they've been running late at night.

Nothing, probably the "formal" but taped three days ago announcement.

It wasn't pre-taped. He was on live w/ the musers. His show starts next Monday at 9pm. As George said it will be good for him to finally be heard in Dallas.

I think Patrick is great, but his show really suffered when Dibble split.

True. But you wait... it will be 3 - 4 months in, and Patrick will grab someone to help "golf laugh" his schtick. He's got a great sports brand and brain. Nice fit for the little Ticket.

This was a lovely line by the magical, mystical one.
