The Bet, on 97.1?

Unread post by BKRPDM »

Seriously, 97.1 couldn’t find anyone to host a slow Thursday night, so they’re simulcasting 1270 The Bet??

This was probably a mistake. 97.1 should have been running the CBS Sports programming during that timeframe.

I worked for 1270 when Chuck Fritz owned it, and later on, when Infinity took over. I never imagined that facility would one day be the waste of electricity it is today.

I believe Flagg is referencing 1270, not 97.1.

That's correct. My apologies, for not being clear on that.

Both earn terrible ratings and are likely to induce immediate tune out. Does it really matter which feed 97.1 uses?
Probably not.

For sure it would make a difference for me. I don't listen to CBS Sports Radio a lot but I can certainly tolerate it. There is zero chance I would stay for The Bet.

You’d think that there would be a producer, call screener or intern eager to get a shot at filling in for a shift.

so you never foresaw how the almost ALL AM stations that were once glorious, became a "pile of poop" -


Think of AM stations from "back in the day" in Metro Detroit, and tell me two that are doing it BETTER now....
