Anyone know why KXNO dropped DP's 3rd hour?
- Thread starter coyoteclone
- Start date
Where was he wrong? A tier 1 team shouldn't look like that vs. a rather mediocre Baylor team. Ken Miller has probably the most realistic view of Iowa State and Iowa in the DSM market.
DP might be the laziest dude on the radio. He's such a pretentious asshat.
You're leaping to conclusions.
Cry more
Old people turn like that. He was much better 8 years ago.
Give me local radio over national radio. I have no interest in LeBron, Brady, Yankees/Sox, etc. iHeartRadio has saved me from having to listen to the crap that is "sports" radio in Omaha.
I find l'll stay tuned into local over any of the natioanlly produced shows, even if it's covering a team I don't have allegiance to.
Does any station carry Rome still in central Iowa? I don't even particularly like him but for some reason he just seems like the original loud mouth sports radio guy to me, and something about that is entertaining.

Hey everyone, looks like Ken Miller has decided to join Cyclonefanatic.
Jim Rome is a loud mouth but gives fantastic interviews.
I listen to KXNO a lot. DP show is a mix of a poor man's Entourage and Jim Rome show. Dan and the Danettes like to feel cool talking about all their brushes with celebrities and talking about their involvement with the next Adam Sandler film. Then the callers give their height and weight, sing about traeger grills, and tell the back row to suck it.
Cowherd has some interesting takes, but he gives his thoughts in the first half hour, repeats them throughout the rest of the show and discusses them with different guests.
Local sports works in Iowa because we are not a professional market, and unless one of the local teams is really good they are rarely discussed on national shows. I don't mind the Miller and Condon show. If you want a straight up sports show that's what you get. They don't do a lot of the off topic stuff that the other local shows do, and because of Miller's job in Vegas they have much more of a serious gambling angle than the other shows.

Yeah, if you catch the first half hour or so then you're not missing anything the rest of the way. He picks his stories, doles out his opinions, and then hammers on those topics the rest of the way. It's not a bad show, but you certainly don't need all three hours. It's pretty repetitive.
I'm of the opinion that Murph is really good at being as neutral as possible when it comes to ISU/TOE. Andy on the other hand.....wooof. Anytime something good happens for ISU or ISU is in a positive light he'll say it and then follow up with a "ya, but..." or something of that nature. Always seems to dig out the negative when it comes to Iowa State.
Losing the 3rd hour of the DP show sucks. I just switch to ESPN radio now to catch the last 2 hours of the Le Batard show, which is might be my favorite show now locally or nationally. There is not a ton happening in Iowa to for 4 local shows. I think Murph and Andy is the best show locally with fanatics right behind it. Entertainment is king.
Morning Rush is unlistenable. Travis is horrible unless you like people who laugh at themselves all the time.
I use to listen to him, but on my 30 minute drive to work it was 10 minutes of show and 20 minutes of commercials...couldn't take it.

Ken is a good niche.
-Been around a long time in the market so has young and old listeners
-Sticks to sports
-Interview heavy but mostly local content
-Has good connections around the midwest
-Doesn't have a lean for ISU/Iowa. Wants both to do well because its good for business
-While has had issues with Pollard in the past (mostly because of his old co-host), isn't afraid to praise him or the ISU fanbase when its warranted

The Morning Rush is absolutely unlistenable. I've stopped listening. Every time I tuned in, Travis was either frothing over the Hawks or talking only to be talking about nothing from his basement in OMAHA. He's way out of touch with local sports. Heather is a negative nellie. Awful show
