Sports stations can weather low ratings by selling packages like NFL/MLB games of the week, brokered shows like the Turfway Park show on Saturdays, and short features like "Bearcat Preview". They can also cut expenses when they run the network talk shows nights and weekends.
Two reasons the station will never be a major factor:
1. There's just not that much to talk about on a regular basis...Reds, Bengals, Bearcats, Musketeers...that's it!
2. The hosts really aren't that great.
The Angry Guys are a tired act. Tom Gamble just yells and bitches, and both
of them won't let the other finish a sentence. Skinner might be better off
as a solo host.
Jeff Piecoro does a straight show with no shtick. Nothing wrong with
that, but it doesn't compel listeners to tune in.
Lance McAllister is just a stats geek, and tries to cram in too many topics,
many of which no one cares about. One example: a weekly chat with the Wright
State basketball coach...WOW!
Fill-in host Greg Waddell talks a mile a minute, and seems to lose his
thoughts a lot.
At least they got rid of that no-talent hack Wildman Walker.
