...ON THE TICKET

I’m sure you’ve heard - we are moving the radio side of the award winning broadcast to the award show and ratings dominating sports station, The Ticket.

This is like two things that just belong together, like – oh – how did Cal Naughton Jr. put it? Like Chinese food and chocolate pudding.

Actually it’s more like finally acknowledging an extra-marital affair.

For over a decade the Stars have spent a lot of “quality time” with The Ticket and their unparalleled sales, promotions and on-air talent. Yet, at the end of the day, we stay true to WBAP and their 50,000 watt blowtorch of a signal.

But like with a marriage in the tank, WBAP and the Stars have become estranged. The radio station moved their sports interests down the hall to ESPN long ago (Galloway, Mavericks, etc.), leaving a full day of conservative rightwing political talk as a lead-in to our left wingers on-ice - Sean Hannity handing off to Sean Avery…time to go in another direction.

Personally I haven’t had any contact with Newstalk 820 WBAP in any form in about four years. That frigid cold shoulder might stem from my tight relationship with The Ticket (My weekly appearances with the Musers gets me as much recognition as my Stars stuff), but even so it’s hard to reason why when you broadcast something like 300 hours a season on the station you aren’t at least acknowledged from time to time – good or bad. (Look at me, pathetic, now I sound like the cheater who can’t believe the spouse is moving on!) Anyway, it wasn’t always a strained relationship, and people like Pete Ditz will forever have my respect.

But enough about Ann Colter’s favorite station.

I couldn’t be more excited about the prospects for our broadcasts over the next five years, and I can’t wait to call a game with Norm!
