Hey guys, I just started a new internship at ESPN 97.5 The Ticket. I man the phones Mon and Tues from 2-7 so if anyone wants to call in and comment that would be money. Be sure to tune in to the Bottom Line and the Calvin Murphy shows during those time periods. -Ko4A

I'm one of the few who listen to the show with jorge and jerome. I know I listen because of personal reasons, but I think some of you may actually enjoy it. I also still listen to charlie though, tried sean and john on 1560 but didn't like it too much. actually I thought they would be pretty good, the both sound too smartassish for me. I listen to matt and rich every blue moon but I just can't take too much of it although i think mattj is actually getting better.
I like the Bottom Line and Murph's show and I'm not just saying it because I intern there now. Got to chill with the Hall of Famer himself this evening before and during his show. Super chill dude and all around great guy.
Congratulations. May the best man win. Not that I work in radio it is just that old habits die hard. Like John McLane. Or like a battery. I hope you learn all about radio in the big city and then take you skills and apply your trade to make money for you and your family.
Thanks man The Ticket is definitely trying to improve itself which I can appreciate- it's like working for the underdog basically. Right now I'm doing a lot of grunt work like answering the phones, but I have to start somewhere. Soon I'll be learning the inner-workings of a major market sports radio station. But these past 2 days have been a blast and I enjoy the laid back atmosphere of the station and everyone else who is working there from the hosts down to the other interns. I just wanted to try something new and out-of-the-box fresh out of college, and luckily the PD gave me a shot (no previous radio experience) so I'm trying to make the most out of my opportunity and learn as much as possible at the same time. I'll try and get a Clutchfans shout out sometime, I've already had my name tossed around the air a few times by Jorge/Jerome yesterday and then Murph tonight.
