SPORTS 1140 TO GET COMPETITION

Now if the good folks at Diamond Radio were smart they would hire Enid Goldstein and Christine Craft and have them be the morning show co-hosts and put Scott and Sims on in the afternoon. Or maybe the other way around.

Well Thank Goddness!!!
Maybe now winning teams will finally get the coverage they deserve. Honestly, I don't know how the Home of the Kings can survive in the afternoon talking about just two teams (Kings and NY Giants) 300 days of the year.
Hey two country's can survive, two news can survive, now "two" sports could survive. "Two" because HTK isn't a real sports station. Keep your arguments. It's a 21 Hour Maloof Infomercial. Hey it works for them.
No doubt KCTC will do sports right.
According to the KCTC website, they are promising Sports 24/7. That'll be great as long as they don't air ANY INFOMERCIALS common in a lot of radio stations including the current Progressive Talk KCTC.
 
The station would do better in the ratings as a newly reborn KXOA, KNDE, or KROY with a solid gold rock and roll format like Drake did with 107.9 back in the early 70's! ESPN is already on cable TV and satellite radio and the signal of this station is soon going into the toilet at nighttime. Who needs that to fight with! In fact Entercom should just turn the darn transmitter off and return the license to the FCC and sell all the real estate to which ever land developer wants to buy it. It's just another wasted signal for Sacramento listeners!
 
I'll respond to the last two posts (and then some):
First of all, a .5? What do you suppose KHTK will get when they have to broadcast THIRTY FOUR Sacramento Monarchs WNBA games between May and August (and I'm not even counting the glorious WNBA Playoffs)? Especially when they have to air eight games during PM Drive and will be forced to pre-empt Grant Napear and Mike Lamb on Sportsline 1140 AND they have another game which starts at 11:30am which will pre-empt the Jim Rome Show? How many of you will be tuning in to those exciting broadcasts? You, sir can put your hand down-you're the only one. And here's something else to consider...THE DON AND MIKE SHOW IS NOT A SPORTS SHOW, and they're not even the same Don and Mike show since the infamous Janet Jackson Super Bowl debacle-it's a watered down version of their show. And someone made a comment about infomercials on KCTC. Have you tuned in to KHTK on Saturday and Sunday morning? A harness racing show? A car show? A fishing and hunting show? What's the difference? And flipping KCTC to a modern version of KXOA, or KROY or KNDE???? Yeah, that will sound great. Oldies (which have already failed in this market) on an AM station... What year is this?

I didn't say that KHTK didn't have infomercials. Most of the AM Radio Stations have Infomercials including the current KCTC in its AAR format. KCTC had infomercials when they were Adult Standards. What I was saying is that :"On KCTC's actual website now, they are promising Sacramento, Sports 24/7." Let's see if they are telling the truth?
 
You're worried about a station telling the truth?
Let's go back to May 16, 2006. (Can you hear the harpsicord?)
Napear on his show said that Isaiah Thomas would be gone from the Knicks by the All Star Break. Uh, it's Tuesday after the break and, oh wow, lookie here, Thomas is STILL the head coach of the Knicks.
Maybe you should worry more about credibility than the truth. And yes, let me be the first to say... YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
And as for infomercials...
KHTK is one big Maloof Infomercial. No argument about that.
 
sports stations all suck. I'd rather hear a show called The Bar Czar. (I'm sure those morning pinheads at KHTK will steal THIS idea too!)
 
I don't like sports radio. Just a personal preference. Not interesting in a bunch of glandular cases debating whether or not Bibby should be traded. I only like Kings games announced by Gary Gerould.
