Im really not sure what the network is trying to do....if talent doest bring affilates with them to the table they stay with the talent they have?....thats what ex-yahoo air talent tells me...that is not a network!

So what you are saying is they expect their talent/business partners to help generate affiliates????? Isn't that what everyone in network radio hopes to accomplish?
YSR is at a great competitive disadvantage and yet, they manage to keep the company on the air year after year. People have been predicting their and imminent death for a decade now. I wouldn't place a wager on their demise anytime soon.
edit...
By the way, you're obviously not Rudy Martzke but what is your deal? 40+ posts in two days ripping on every network but proclaiming ".premiere radio is the best syndicator in the country" from an earlier post? Seriously?
YSR leverages a solid Internet Sports site into radio. It's not going to challenge ESPN, but it has its place. I'd wager it generates positive cashflow for both Yahoo! and Gow broadcasting so I don't see it going anywhere.
Of all YSR's shows, the one I'd have the most interest in only airs once a week: "Wetzel to Forde", Dan Wetzel and Pat Forde's weekly chat.
To stay a viable terrestrial service, YSR could use an infusion of star power or some envelope-pushing new talent to pose questions to Adrian Wojnarowski, Marc J. Spears, Kelly Dwyer, and Jeff Passan. At this point, NBC Sports Radio has more recognizable daytime talent with the exception of Newy Scruggs'.
You have to look at the overall bang for the buck. What do they stand to gain by paying for bigger names...or what will they lose rolling out young up and comers as they are now? They got guys in their 20's and early 30's on the air. Probably paying a modest salary but, it's about staying in business.
And he seems more interested in talking politics at times. Gave up on him months ago. The final straw was some off the cuff remarks that seemed racist to me. Shame too, he was a good one.
Yahoo! Sports increasingly offers content that originates with NBC. I wonder if there will be a merger of sorts between YSR and NBC Sports Radio when the agreement with Gow Broadcasting expires.
YSR can do well WITHOUT Dylan Gwinn who's main program advertiser is some gun shop in the Houston area
In an era where the sentiment of guns is to bring the sale of them under control so that terrorists, criminals & the mentally disturbed don't have access to them, yould think YSR would wanna steer clear of such advertising on a national basis. But alas, along comes Dylan Gwynn who has to crash the party :
Out of deference & RESPECT to their audience, KCKK 1510 / 93.7 doesn't even air Dylan's show (They're local when he's on). I give props to them. But if Dylan is going to be using his program to pimp guns, then I say BOOT HIM OFF THE NETWORK !!! Let him do that in his local hours if he wants to (It seems like you're not a Texan if you don't own a gun)
I mean seriously - Why does the NRA need Wayne LaPierre to be their spokesman when Dylan Gwinn does a good enough job on his own ??
Cheers & 73 ;D
