How could you not be down on their show? It is just 2 hours of classless low blows, dirtball comments and treat callers like trash.

I listen to alot of local radio in other markets as I have favorite pro sports teams in 3 diff markets. None run a show that those *** hats.

Blows my mind anyone could listen to a host like Marty be so disrespectful to callers, other employees, his ex wife and anyone else he has ever done business with or met.

Because we don't take it as serious as you obviously do? It is a performance to a big degree. Probably doesn't go over well with the PC crowd....I get that.

One of my friends from Des Moines told me 1700 got rid of Rome and added politics in the morning AND some Condon goof and Brinson show, followed by Farty Marty. That's radio torture.

I'm about as un-PC as they come and know better than to take them serious and the show still makes my wonder how any sane person could listen.

It has nothing to do with being pc. Marty is just an ***.

You obviously haven't listened to the show. None of what you claim happens. M&M have a sense of humor and shtick that is way over your head.

Eh I am about un-pc as they come. Also love raw radio like Opie, Bennington, etc.

I'm just not a fan of a scumbag radio host who isn't funny and thinks he is the greatest ever.

If you really haven't read all the lawsuits against him I suggest you do. He has screwed over so many people its mind blowing. Also have friends who have tried to work with him in the past and have got burned.

And I'm out of this thread.....Go Cyclones beat UT.

They gone. At least from radio and are only doing TV now according to the noon show and Trent Condon. Crushed by the competition and some fanatics would be my guess.


Was wondering as I stopped hearing them last week.


Never a huge fan of Marty (Ken is fine with me as I appreciate his honesty)....but they were entertaining at times.

I will always enjoy CW and his show, but its nice to have a variety and sometimes when Chris and Ross are talking Hawks, its nice to cut over to see whats on 1700.

I was wondering what happened to them. And then they were replaced with Doug Gottlieb last week - only to find out that was Doug's last week with CBS. He's now with Fox Sports and starts a new show next week.

This is their spin on it:

Marty & Miller are excited to announce an expanded digital platform for the “Marty & Miller” program. Marty and Miller will continue their partnership with Mediacom with their live show Monday – Friday from 3:00 – 6:00 on Mediacom Channel 22/HD 822 and will be providing daily podcasts of the show across Stitcher and iTunes.

“Our research has shown that AM radio was not reaching the desirable 25-54 age demographic in the way that we wanted. We are looking to increase our presence to that demo while providing the great sports talk format that has been a part of the Des Moines market for 21 years with Marty & Miller,” Marty Tirrell said.

The show will continue with it’s hard hitting sports commentaries along with story lines that matter across the state of Iowa and the Midwest. Trent Condon will expand his role in the 5-6 pm hour with a dedicated look at the Iowa high school sports scene along with Iowa colleges. “Trent has grown...

Is old Jimmy B gone also?

It was only a matter of time. After Marty's NCAA tounry tweets he had to lose any support he somehow had left in this market. Its just crazy the chances people gave him and the money they paid him.

I'm not one of those people that bash all of the local radio shows. I actually like all of the shows on KXNO. But the Marty and Miller show was absolute complete trash the times I listened. They continually had their "facts" wrong, they had blatant agendas, and they would spend segment after segment talking about completely uninteresting topics.

Its ok in this case because Marty is actual trash.

I remember tuning in once close to the election and Marty asked one of the guests who he was voting for and the guy went on a 2 minute diatribe about a candidate that Marty had been very publicly supportive of (trying to be vague to keep this away from the cave) and after he finished Marty was like "well let's just stick with sports, shall we?"

Marty was also at Augusta for the Master's - I wonder what sponsor paid for that trip and if they would have done so knowing that the show was going off the radio waves the following week?
