I think this is going to be very interesting. Right now 1660 is basically just a Fox Sports channel and it hardly shows up on the ratings but it has some big money potential.
Curious to what it's going to be like. I heard it will air other Bison Sports. Game replays. Games. Coaches shows. Stuff like that.
Personally I don't like channels that air syndicated crap around the clock. I love having a place to listen to press conferences and coaches shows. The other sports need some coverage as well.
But I think the key is mixing it up and having a daily local talk show. Having some personalities is key. Syndicated national sucks. Not only Bison talk though because it really limits what you can do. I think it would be smart mixing in some Vikings, Packers, Twins, Wild, Wolves, and all the Summit and MVFC teams. Heck high school sports would get some listeners. Let's face it well run out of Bison stuff for most of the summer and ratings will go in the shitter. (Kind of like Bisonville off season )
I think it would be cool having someone like Phil Hanson and Jeremy Jorgensen having a once a week show focused on sports in general. How about someone interesting like Drago?
It gets me thinking, what do I like to listen to? My favorite shows (in no particular order and I like bits of each) are Izzo and Kolpack. It's just really entertaining and it's not always Bison talk. I like Jack Michaels show. (Not a great interviewer but i like the flow of the show) I like the show with Derek Hanson too. And yes, McFeely is right up there too. He does a great job getting the listeners involved. Hallstrom does a great job in the slow summer months and has totally unique guests, like thr announcer for Georgia Southern talking about the move to FBS. That's the type of stuff I personally find entertaining.
Any ideas what you would like to hear? Thoughts
