Yeah but dont you think that hurts your/the shows credibility? I mean thats the whole point of your show, tell it like it is. I understand the "corporate" issues and all. Knowing that you guys have to adjust your opinion to what sounds good for the people you pay makes me not want to listen in on the show. I am in Iraq and other than chron.com - Houstonprofootbal.com - Occasional ESPN.com You guys are my only sense of knowing whats going on in Houston sports. Not to mention you have the only webcast that I can connect to. I guess what I am asking is what should I believe when I listen into you guys. If your not telling it like it is, why should I listen?
Chance cmon, 7 mil to broadcast the Texans is a gold mine. The $ 610 gets thru advertisors im sure at least DOUBLES that. Even if the team went 0-9 ppl lost interest the advertisors I am assuming have seasonal contracts, so for the year at least it is not a bad investment. The NFL is so lucrative that even an 0-16 team tho ppl will still tune in. One other question I have for you Chance is how does 610 determine how many ppl tune in to all the different shows? Is there any sort of ratings system?
i don't think anyone at 610 has been going easy on the texans since the season started. maybe vandermeer. but certainly not the rest of the guys. look...there are a group of you who think they're homers. there's another group who thinks they're all transplanted yankees who don't give a damn about Houston teams. it can't be both ways.
it is...but it's perfectly disclosed. we all know it ahead of time. they advertise over and over again that they're the radio home of the Houston Texans.
i agree. but they've been critical. they're talking about who and who won't be coming back next season....including the coach and gm who both have shows on the air. it's not like the guys on 610 are saying, "hey...this is a good football team just waiting to break out!" they're not saying that. not at all.
I agree with you on all points...However, I wish they would be a little more i guess for lack of a better term 'intrusive' when Dom Capers has his little show on MOnday's. They don't have to be rude or aggressive, just a little more straightforward...
I agree that since the season started they have been very fair with the Texans, which is to say they have been trashing them. there is no way you can put a positive spin on this season. other than in the interviews, lance, john, matt, and adam have openly wondered who should get the ax and have been very critical of casserly.
Wow. did you listen? Rich asked him if his job was on the line. i thought that was a non-homer hit-you-in-the-gut kind of question. The guys have absolutely been critical. they have all, all six of them, admitted that the Texans sucked. They've all, all six of them, changed their season predictions. Nobody (except me) thought the Texans would be THIS bad. On a side note I like the Texans in an upset Sunday night. You heard it here first.
Hey Chance, a little off topic, but I never got around to asking you...What did the Texans think of their flagship station running commercials for a company (TXU Energy) that bashed their biggest corporate sponsor in every ad they ran?
