OT: Official Sports Media Thread 2 (TV, Radio, Print) MOD WARNING in OP

[sarge88]

Tanguay walked out of the studio on D&C today when he found out that he was working the full week next week. It's been a while since they've had someone walk out, although I think this time it might have been real as opposed to being staged.

Hope he doesn't come back.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Hope he doesn't come back.

He gets a reaction out of people, in some way shape or form, which means ratings. See Felger, Ordway, Minihane, etc.

 

[Fenway]

Actually he walked out when told he was NOT working all 5 shows next week

Jul 7, 2016
Fill-in host Gary Tanguay walks out of the station when informed by Kirk Minihane and producer Ken Laird that his scheduled five days on-air next week have been reduced to three per management orders.

They put it on line which hints that it is a stunt.

 

[Hnidy Hnight]

Definitely didn't appear staged. Quite entertaining non the less. The show has been lacking this week without Callahan.

Yeah, my bad.

Maybe management is smartening up? Now, if only they'd do something about the Saturday 9-12 slot.

The Patriots also trade down before making picks that are out of left field. People (including myself) criticize Bill for making very strange picks, but at least he trades down and picks up some other assets.

Well said. Also he hits on some of those picks.

The Sports Hub earned an 11.0 share overall in the men 25-54 demographic from March 24-June 15. WEEI was second with an 8.1. Last spring, The Sports Hub was first (9.0) and WEEI was fifth (6.8). The Sports Hub has been the highest-rated Boston station in that demo for the past seven three-month periods.

In morning drive (6-10 a.m.), The Sports Hub’s “Toucher and Rich†program was first with a 14.6 share. WEEI’s “Dennis and Callahan†was second with a 10.5.

In middays (10 a.m.-2 p.m.), The Sports Hub’s program featuring Scott Zolak and Marc Bertrand was first with an 11.8 share. WEEI’s “OMF†program was fourth (7.0).

In afternoon drive (2-6 p.m.), The Sports Hub’s “Felger and Massarotti†continued its dominance with a 12.8 share. WEEI’s “Dale and Holley†program was second (8.3).

In the 6-7 p.m. window, The Sports Hub, which usually airs “The Baseball Reporters†hosted by Tony Massarotti in that window, was first (11.3). WEEI, which typically has the Red Sox pregame show in that slot, was fourth (5.9).

In the 7 p.m.-midnight period, WEEI, which carries Red Sox broadcasts in that window, was first (9.4), while The Sports Hub, which airs the “Adam Jones Show†weeknights, was second (8.1).

Notably, The Sports Hub tends to trend better in the younger demos, while WEEI draws more older listeners. Entercom Boston boss Phil Zachary has said WEEI is targeting the more mature side of the 25-54 demo to lucrative effect, and the station ranks first with men 35-64. The Sports Hub, meanwhile, finished first in morning, midday, and afternoon with men 18-34 and men 18-49.

Was driving in the car a little while ago and flipping channels. Put on WEEI and heard the Big O basically parroting everything Wyc said on the sports hub yesterday, but passing it off like they were his own thoughts. Completely laughable. So fraudulent. So WEEI.

So is the Sports Hub, they lost me as a customer.

Sure, I can see that.

Mazz opens with a fishing line. Must be slow day.

 

[smithformeragent]

So is the Minihane/Dennis feud a real thing, or staged?

I listened on the way to work today, but honestly couldn't tell. I'm guessing it's staged.

Probably staged, and if so it's really pathetic.

Reminds me of pro wrestling : rollseyes:

BOB RYAN
Dan Shaughnessy earned his spot in hardball Hall

So did you hear the one about the kid from small-town Groton (pop. 10,873, according to the 2012 census) who loved baseball and then found himself asking Earl Weaver about pitching changes before he turned 24?

Wait, you say. Isn’t that Peter Gammons? As a matter of fact, he, too, was a small-town kid from Groton who wound up covering the Red Sox not too long after getting out of college and whose brilliance as a baseball writer landed him in Cooperstown as the 2004 winner of the prestigious J.G. Taylor Spink Award. Well, Peter can move over because on Saturday fellow Grotonian Dan Shaughnessy will be joining him in the writers’ wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Never has so much, been deserved so little.

I think he was heartbroken at this moment as his Curse franchise was going up in smoke

Never seen that

It's so Shaughnessy

 

[Fenway]

Never seen that

It's so Shaughnessy

I screamed at the TV when FOX showed him in the top of the 9th - he looks miserable that the Red Sox are about to end the curse

Worst BRUINS coverage has to be by The Nashua Telegraph. Nothing at all on Development Camp. Not one word.

Words fail me.

 

[mikelvl]

Words fail me.

I love me some Bob Ryan, but this is obviously calling in a favor to a long-time friend with his Globe colored glasses on.

I have the 2011 cover of the Globe with Chara hoisting the Cup up in my man-cave. The worst part of that page is that they gave the freakin' lead Bruins article to Shaughnessy. Shaugnessy!! That is beyond wrong that I have to look at that every night. Fran Rosa must have turned over in his grave.
