KTXD adding The Mark Davis Show starting Monday, May 6

A

Mark made a big announcement on Friday morning's show that KTXD will now broadcast his show from 7-8:30am starting tomorrow.
I guess this will help KTXD. Not sure it will help Mark or his show on KSKY.. but it certainly doesn't hurt to have extra attention.
I've never been real excited about watching a radio show on TV, but putting a show from an AM station on TV probably does make it easier for a lot of people to hear it.

Yes, you're right about that. Besides a cheap bedside clock radio that I never listen to, I don't have anything here that's capable of tuning the AM band. These days I figure my situation isn't unusual at all.
 
I suspect most folks who listen to AM radio nowadays do so while driving.

D-TV will be preempting My Three Sons, Donna Reed, and That Girl to air Mark Davis. A good deal for OTA viewers who can tune to either 47.4 or 47.1 as they prefer, but cable-only viewers won't all appreciate the change.
 
Heard it through the grapevine that Mark's show is getting some ratings.. very tiny.. but that's better than the hashmarks 47 is used to getting at that time. So there's that.
 
I forgot to take into account the difference between Eastern and Central time in my last post. I also didn't realize that KTXD had already pre-empted the first and last half-hour of that 90-minute block, so the only Me-TV program pre-empted for Mark Davis was I Love Lucy.

Despite those errors, my point remains (and Ed Bark made the same point in his article): OTA households have a choice (good), but cable-only households in north Texas aren't getting much Me-TV from their Me-TV affiliate.
