Default Sports Talk Radio

The sports talk station with the highest listenership in DFW is 1310 The Ticket.

What's kind of interesting about these guys is that sports makes up, at most, 50% of what they talk about. That's generous.

They talk about all sorts of things. They have segments where they talk about TV shows. Movies. They have a regular segment where they talk about "community quickhits" going over the biggest local news stories, including crime.

They talk about personal stories, pet peeves, you name it. Just a few guys sitting around and talking, taking occasional phone calls.

In other words, it's a lot like a sports internet message board, which in most cases, like CougarGuard, is not entirely about sports. It's a conversation among people that are generally interested in sports, but the conversation veers quite far from sports.

Now ESPN radio, locally, is very sports-centered. But I have to admit, I find myself more entertained by The Ticket most of the time...
