SportsRadio 610 Program Director Resigns

Yeah, Matt's show cracks me up. If you're just looking for the same ol' same ol' sports talk where the same stuff gets spewed over and and over, his show isn't it. This dude's callers are zombie paint sniffers. I seriously think that when Koch & Kalu leave, they lace the phone lines with a bucket of stupid and leave it for Matt to handle. But that's what makes the show hilarious sometimes. If it's not your cup of tea, then you probably won't like the show. His sports knowledge may be the least of all of them, but his ability to run a "variety hour" is pretty good.

Now after all that, if I were to pick the weakest link between the hours I listen at work (around 8:30am - 4 or 5pm), it would have to be Matt's show, but like you said, that is one damn strong chain.

 

I think the key line in that article about his leaving was that the ratings at 610 went up as the Texans fortunes improved. Several people on these boards have said it. The channel that has the Texans will likely always be the highest-rated, nearly regardless of what else they put on the air.

Maybe there are those out there that are huge fans of guys like Nick Wright and Josh Innes, but they must be a silent majority because I've never met one.

 

Really wish some one would bring back the block party. By far the most entertaining show on Houston radio.

 

You've got me sir, touché

 

Charlie and Rich? From way back in the day? That was probably before my days of listening to sports radio. Growing up, the only time I ever listened to sports radio was when we were driving to and from Rockets and Oilers games. I actually remember Charlie doing the Rockets post-game shows back in the early 90s. But I never really extensively listened to any sports radio until after I graduated college in 2005. I do remember when 790 was considered to be the worst of the bunch....back when that monstrosity of Ted DeLuca and John Lopez were considered their headliners.

 

I actually do enjoy the mid day show on 610 now with Meltzer a lot. That's the only non-790 show I like.

 

i love charlie. especially when he calls out the caller on their ignorance.

 

This gets annoying for me. He is just too serious sometimes although Lance is working on him. I prefer more variety in my sports talk, a more light hearted show like Matt Thomas (as someone said)

This is true. Every time I come home to Houston and I get in the car with my dad, he has 610 on and he complains about how terrible it is. I always have to tell him to put on 790.

 

Matt Thomas is awesome. Didn't understand the MT love before, but now I do. I don't usually like when the producers chime in, but the Ross and Matt dynamic works well. The only thing I don't like about 790 is Wexler. Way too verbose at times.

 

Is Mighty After Dark Still on? If so, Dylan Gwinn is the obvious weak link

 

What happened to that poster on here that was a producer or whatever for 610 I think

 

YES! Love me the dorset tones of a Matt Thomas during lunch time! And Mighty is on in the eves from 7-9 or 8-10 depending on what other shows run at night. Play the Mighty drinking game; take a shot every time he says "I mean" at the start of his comments and you'll get waaasssted!

 

The Chain is strong . ..

Gwinn <<<< Matt Thomas

Rocket River
