Rumor is that the other Des Moines sports station goes local starting Monday, for your sake I hope that at least one of the hosts is a ISU grad as that's a void in the market.
 
What timeslot? Are they doing just a morning or evening? I'd be fine if they left you guys alone, I don't think they'll get enough of a market in your timeslot to be viable, but I'd love to have an alternative to Cotlar and Company. I listened to about 2 minutes of the guy filling in for him this morning, it was bad.
 
So cryptic. If it's already a DSM station, how can it go local?

After getting burned, I really have not paid attention to local radio. Or is it DSM radio? Local DSM radio.

I so confoozed.
 
Cool hope they have a good show from 2-4 because it sucks right now. I still enjoy the hijinks that you guys provide on M&M.

Thnx for the info.

1700 is going to have a local host all shows now are ESPN....fingers crossed its from 2-4!!
 
They've switched it up now though..herd until 1. Too much Cowherd.

please let them replace Cowherd with a local show. That guy drives me nuts. Then again, the competition for that time slot is Dan Patrick. I don't know for sure, but I would bet he wins the ratings war.
 
I don't quite understand why 1700 waited so long to do this. They've been on the air roughly 1 year and now they decide late in March to launch real local programming? Seems like horrible timing. I would've launched a local show last August and capitalized on football season. Once the tournament is over, there's nothing to talk about now. That's going to put a lot of pressure on the new talent to win people over.
 
A counter-show to J Miller's Hawkeye-afternoon would be nice..but I am not counting on it. Not with ISU's two major sports being down.

At least until we win the Cotten Bowl next year :jimlad:


Someone with actual Cyclone roots and not like Deace lining their pockets pretending to be interested about ISU.

That's a great point. They're launching a new show going into the "silly season" of no local sports teams in Iowa. Tough air to fill.

I hope it's a drive-home PM slot. No disrespect to Kenny. But 2-4 does me no good as I'm at work. Pretty much the same thing for my 10 minutes driving to work in the AM.

PM 4-7 is the best time for me to listen to anything sports (XM, 1460 or 1700). Plus M&M like to tout their ratings and going head to head with some competition would test all that back-patting.
 
Please, please, please let it be from 2-4pm. I broke down and let 1460 hit my dial the other day and Miller was playing some "name that tune" game. Seriously. I lasted about 2 minutes. And I feel dirty about it.

When I first read this subject line I eagerly opened this thread up read about my upcoming date with Uma Thurman....
 
Thanks for the keeping the "cockroaches" here at CF updated.

I hope they do something local in the afternoon because I really like Mike and Mike in the morning.
 
I really hope their local show is either from 6 to 9am or from 2-7pm.
Because I would rather listen to dead air than listen to the talentless hacks kxno props up behind the microphones during those shifts.

These tools have been operating without any real competition for FAR too long.

I hope this does not end yours and Marty's time on the air! :jimlad:
