Sunday Sports Talk?
- Thread starter radioville
- Start date
According to last weeks show,that was the so called ''season finale''. I heard that WHAS will only do the show from around the time football season starts until after the Ky. Derby. Guess it's too much to ask for WHAS to do a local call in show about sports on Sunday morning all year long! :

just curious: what local sports would be covered? Bats baseball? Reds?
no football. no basketball. no pro sports in Louavul.
The point is that less and less of WHAS programming is local.romer979fm said:radiofan502 said:Guess it's too much to ask for WHAS to do a local call in show about sports on Sunday morning all year long! :

To Romer979's point, you want a local sports show talking about what in the middle of summer? Sports around here dies in the summer months.
It seems like your argument is that a station needs to air locally-produced programming just for the sake of doing it, whether there's a demand or not.

Then I guess we should tell Locklan, the guys on 790 and 680 to take a summer vacation also. This has to be the most absurd posting you have ever written.

Well, your point would be valid one, if, in fact, the shows you reference draw the same audiences and ratings in the summertime that they do in the fall and winter.
Perhaps someone here with access to such information could verify it one way or the other.
If I had to bet, I would wager that summertime ratings for all local sports shows go down markedly outside of college football or basketball season.
Aren't there enough local sports shows as there is? (on WHAS,WKRD,WKJK,and WHBE) Don't get me wrong, I like sports but it would've been nice to keep The Sunday Morning Talk Show with another local host after Joe Elliott left instead of replacing it with a sports show that won't even be on year round.
my point was simply this: I see no point or value in programming a sports talk program just for the sake
of doing so. not an attack...just an opinion. of course, if a client wants to buy that time...it's gonna happen anyway.

Wouldn't this be the perfect time for 970 WGTK in Louisville to start the Sunday Morning talk show again with Joe Elliott since WHAS isn't doing anything local?
