Yeah I wish Houston Media Watch was still active. Here's Dante's twitter account, maybe he'll post something about it soon: https://twitter.com/ogxfactor82
Dante Hall leaves 610 Dante Hall has left KILT (610 AM) after less than five months as co-host of the station's midday show with Cody Stoots and John Lopez. Ryan McCredden, the station's program director, said Hall will not be replaced. "I'm disappointed that things didn't work out, but Dante told me this just wasn't for him," McCredden said. "He's been trying to make it work, and he just had to move on."
Never really listened to Josh before he 790'd. He has personality, but doesn't talk sports enough. He's not very knowledgable sported-wise either from what I've heard.
Lopez kills another partner. Seriously I don't know why 610 keeps him. He is not entertaining while being a pompous dumb ass.
He always alluded to not being a "Radio Guy", implying that he wasn't some talking head with hot takes. Maybe he just wasn't about that life with Stoots and Lopez......
damn, I liked dante. he did sound a little pissed off with lopez when defending Brock because a lot in the media were still crapping on him. Finally checked on Innes show based on the glowing recommendations. And I didn't think it was bad. Definitely not like yall make it seem on here. He is a bit on the negative side and tries to hard with race jokes but It was entertaining. Bun B even called in and co-signed the show so if Bun can like it, I will give it a shot. And did Jim Mudd jump from 610 morning show to join his booty buddy, Josh? Lol was this ever discussed by Seth and Mike?
It seems like Innes is much more measured this time around, but his last stint here was an unmitigated **** show. If he truly did learn his lesson, and has become more mature about his approach to the show, then good for him.
yeah hall is gone. =( I liked his receiver perspective analysis. Chupacabra strikes again. Now stanford routt has replaced him? looking at stanfords stats I almost fainted reading he played for the Texans in 2012 for 2 games.Don't even remember that, should go in that dwight gooden astros thread.
I'll continue to boycott 790 because management saw fit to replace an icon with a shock jock. It's part of the stupidization of news and entertainment I just can't support. Sorry Matt.
Does anyone else here get irritated by Michael Connor? Since he has been in the morning I am able to listen to him more and he just irritates me. He is always bringing stuff up that has nothing to do with the topic and constantly brings his girlfriend up. He reminds me of a teenager that thinks he is funny cause he brings up sex jokes or drunk jokes. I miss Ross in the morning.
Yeah, he's immature. Reminds me of every sports bro that is 1-3 years out of college. Frat-brah. Anyways, saw the bump, came in expecting Innes was fired. Sigh.
I kind of like michael connor during baseball season only. His voice sounds identical to ross' so I can never tell them apart.
I gave it a whirl yesterday and listened to him repeat himself 35 times talking about Cam Newton for 30 minutes.
790 had the worst ratings from September to October. http://www.chron.com/sports/article/Houston-s-sports-radio-ratings-for-October-10426017.php The October book for Sept. 8-Oct. 5 includes some new shows on KFNC (97.5 FM) and the first month of the NFL season. KGOW (1560 AM) did not register a rating in October. We start, as always, with 6 a.m. to midnight among men 25-54, the key demographic for sports radio, where KILT (610 AM) remains the clear leader. The number in parenthesis indicates where sports stations rank among all Houston stations. October KILT (610 AM) 3.7 (T9th) KFNC (97.5 FM) 2.2 (21st) KBME (790 AM) 1.7 (T24th) KILT also is the leader in morning drive time (6-10 a.m.). October KILT 4.0 (9th) KFNC 2.3 (T17th) KBME 1.8 (T19th) KILT continues to lead the sports stations at middays (10 a.m.-3 p.m.). October KILT 3.3 (T10th) KFNC 2.3 (T17th) KBME 1.7 (24th) KILT had its best daypart showing in afternoon drive (3-7 p.m.). October KILT 4.7 (5th) KFNC 2.6 (18th) KBME 2.3 (22nd) KILT had Texans in prime time, and KBME had the final month of Astros games in the 7 p.m. until midnight segment. October KILT 3.1 (T13th) KBME 1.6 (T23rd) KFNC 1.2 (26th) Let's turn to show-by-show rankings for the month. October Lord/Pendergast/Johnson (2-7 pm, KILT) 4.5 Lopez/Stoots/Hall (10 am-2 pm, KILT) 4.0 Gallant/Texans (7-11 p.m., KILT) 3.3 Meltser/Payne (6-10 a.m., KILT) 3.0 Faour/Hoffman (4-7 p.m., KFNC) 2.7 Granato/Salisbury (11 .m.-1 p.m., KFNC) 2.5 Granato/Ramzanali (9-11 a.m., KFNC) 2.4 Charlie Pallilo (2-6 p.m., KBME) 2.3 Joel Blank (1-4 p.m., KFNC) 2.0 Zierlein/Thomas (6-9 a.m., KBME) 1.8 Jones/Clanton (11 a.m.-2 p.m. KBME) 1.8 Koch/Kalu (9-11 a.m., KBME) 1.3
So ratings are just a factor of your slot, more or less? Most people don't know who Woj is, put him on ESPN and he's a household name. 790 needs to do something more disruptive, maybe focus web content/resources on college football (outside of just UH and the UT broadcast) or gambling or something...cant just cross your fingers and pray the Astros or Rockets do something every year. I feel like solo-Lance is very good at introducing fresh content. He always has national guests or local personalities on when he's solo.
Wait so Charlie had higher ratings than everyone else on 790 and got the can. Also Charlie's show was 22nd, not different from Matt/Lance 19th and Adam/Sean 24th. This has got to be a budget $$$ cut. Charlie Pallilo was probably the most highly paid at 790 amongst other hosts and rightly so. So they cut his knowledgeable high paying @$$ to bring in an a very low pay racist moron in Josh Anus. I would have cut Adam Clanton or Lance Zierlein before touching Charlie. Also when did Joel Blank return to Houston after being fired by the Rockets? Well only a matter of time before he is fired again because his lame rhyming gets everyone tired.
