    I haven't listened to 1560 since Lance left. Is their reception still only good for a 5 mile radius around their studio?

    I can't pick it up in Kingwood after 5pm or so. Or before 7am.

    That station just needs to be retracted and the talent disbursed amongst the other stations. Four sports talk stations in the same city is about two too many.

    It was a nice experiment, but it's clearly not working. Look at their ratings.

    Clearly whatever sort of cult following they have has gone straight to hell.

    Now they are basically what 790 was 4 years ago.

    If 790 could somehow snag Clanton to do Rockets post game it would be epic!

    I like Granato and Pendergrass alright, but not over Lance and Charlie on 790 in the afternoons.

    It's sad that 1560 has turned into a CPOD. The first couple of years were great. This unfortunately may be the death nail. I still listened in the morning but vs lance and Charlie they will lose.

    I never really cared for Clanton or wessling. Except for that one time Clanton was having wessling guess who thr athlete voted for and when wessling didn't know who the athlete was he kept saying "I need to see a picture" Sadly, outside of Greg Anthony and Chris klewe it went straight down racial lines.

    I totally forgot Goofball still existed. How anyone can listen to him without Lance is totally beyond me.

    i like pendergast, but that cat is way too chatty. i read one of his houston press pieces i think it was on the astros. i just remember, this guy writes like he talks, way too much vocab.

    i've been listening to sean since he won his first smack off, i like the guy, but i'm on the 790 bandwagon. the only show i have a problem with is in the trenches, but uncle greg might break out some unbelievable guy wisdom that you don't want to miss

    Clanton, you need to go over to 790 right now. This is the perfect opportunity.

    I think I'm the only one around here that doesn't like Granato. So yeah, I don't care for his schtick. Clanton, and that other guy, they're the fart-joke comic guys? I can live without them too. That show sounds like its coming directly from their mom's basement.

    Sucks for Clanton. He went from Radio->TV->Radio->Unemployed. His impressions were funny and I thought he had some real talent on the radio.

    Yea I think with the right co-host he would have a great show (not the biggest Wessling fan). It was nice being able to listen to a native Houstonian (on my drive home) that has been a fan all these years instead of all these out of town schmucks.

    I'm sure Clanton will land on his feet. He said as much in David Barron's piece today in the Chronicle, but it still sucks. He left his post at Channel 2 to focus on this show and it didn't end up lasting all that long. I'm with you all. I hope he ends up at 790.

    still upset that they broke up john and lance- that show was unbeatable. Apart, they are both not as good. Lance has gotten way too much into analyzing 40 times and coverage schemes to be as enjoyable. I think he's forgotten that the real magic of his original show was their willingness to not talk about just sports 24/7. The tangents were amazing.
