playing out a non-compete in dallas with a consulting job that probably means he won't be spending very much time in dallas. well played, young man. well played. best of luck to you in all your endeavors!!!!
yeah, i'm guessing. i've had the pleasure of dining with Chance. he owns many leather-bound books and is kind of a big deal. in all seriousness, he couldn't be a nicer guy.
Dallas is getting another sports radio station? When the hell is that going to happen? EDIT: Oh wait, here's the down low - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFCD KFCD is a sports talk radio station serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. This station is licensed in Farmersville, Texas and is licensed to Bernard Dallas LLC. KFCD is a network affiliate radio station for the Frisco RoughRiders, a Class AA affiliate of the Texas Rangers major league baseball club. [edit] History The station started out originally in Wichita Falls as K-Nine (KNIN), a popular Top 40 station during the 60's and 70's. After several format and call letter changes during the 80's and 90's, the station moved to Farmersville as KCAF Cafe 990 as a short-lived women's talk format. Two months later, it changed to conservative talk via Radio America. The name, however stayed the same. "Cafe 990" has the unenviable distinction of having the shortest run of any regular format in DFW radio history, signing off the format after just three days, due to monetary problems involved with the owners of the station. After Cafe 990 signed off, Radio America programming resumed. In 2004, the station changed its call letters to KMSR while maintaining its talk format, but on December that year, the station was re-imaged as KFCD. A year later, KFCD was transferred to the bankrupcty court appointed "debtor-in-possession" along with sister station KHSE. Starting on January 15, 2007, the frequency is broadcasting sports talk radio. In the opinion of Dallas Observer blogger Richie Witt, the new format is destined to fail. While the call sign references the FC Dallas Major League Soccer team, the team's games no longer air on this station. English-language broadcast rights now belong to country station KTFW. On December 28, 2006, the FCC accepted a voluntary license transfer from DFW Radio License, LLC to Bernard Dallas LLC.[1] On February 27, 2007, an application was filed with the FCC to transfer the license from Bernard Dallas LLC to Principle Broadcasting Network - Dallas, LLC [2], which has entered into a transaction to acquire the two stations from the bankruptcy court.[3] On May 3 and 4 2007, the station was off the air due to a violent storm that caused massive power failures in the area. The area the transmitter is located is very rural and not of much of a priority to the electric utility company. No outage occurred from May 2 to May 15. I am the person who dealt with this problem.
Wow I am touched. I have not had this much attention on Clutchcity...well it was clutchcity back then...since the Moochie song. I am excited about the prospect of working two days per week in Dallas. Incidentally I will also be working for The Chronicle so I am still a Rockets fan. Brilliant thread though.
After you are officially at another station, you have to give us all the good dirt on the personalities that are and were working at 610, Chance. I just KNOW Rich Lord has some bodies buried somewhere.
good luck buddy awesome you are going to work for the chronucle also and keep in touch and show up for a few of the 610 parties
