OT: TMA on 101 FM

What's the deal with this show? A bunch of grown men sit around for hours and hours reading tweets and giggling? This is the best they can do for drive time on a sports talk station?

It’s the best and most popular show on 101. Would you rather it be the exact [fork]ing same as every other show, with the same segments and same takes for 10 straight hours ?Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 08:52 am What's the deal with this show?

So you haven't listened to one full minute but you think it's a pitiful waste? You're an idiot.rockondlouie wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 08:55 am I haven't listened to even one full minute of their show.
Pitiful waste of "sports talk" air time.
101.1 should beto put that c r a p on during drive time.
Yes. I'd rather and do listen to anything but these lame morons acting like middle schoolers. Even a goofy morning comedy show is better than this garbage.ZouMiz2424 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 08:58 amIt’s the best and most popular show on 101.

I guess. But anything is better than a bunch of grown men sitting around fake laughing at social media messages, pretending they're hilarious. I'd rather listen to a test of the emergency broadcast system.desertrat23 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 09:09 am Filling four hours with 100% sports talk in this market is impossible. The Blues are out of season. The Cardinals suck. City sucks and no one cares about them. It’s not an NFL market.
Sorry it’s not your cup of tea, but it’s a popular show that’s been around 20 years. They’ve clearly got a following.
I assume that RK had the same problem that Bernie had, and the numbers just weren't there. And if that's not working, then maybe the station wants to try something new.cardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 09:15 am I used to listen to Randy K. on the morning drive every morning. I have no idea why 101 fired him and went with this new show, which is beyond awful. I no longer listen to 101 at all now and just do podcasts. Terrible business decision.
I don’t get that here in Baton Rouge but I can tell you local sports talk for the most part is headed by a bunch of idiots. So many have never played the sport they set around and critique. Sort of like watching ESPN.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 08:52 am What's the deal with this show? A bunch of grown men sit around for hours and hours reading tweets and giggling?

I could not agree more with your question of who this show is for. Based on their awful content you would think their target audience would be a 12 year old boy during a time when adults would be listening to it on the way to work.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 09:26 amI assume that RK had the same problem that Bernie had, and the numbers just weren't there.

I just can't imagine a sports fan who turns TMA on, looking to commiserate about the Cardinals, and thinks "ok, yeah...Tim McKernan and Martin Kilcoyne gently ribbing each other for four hours is just what I need this morning."
It's like putting a block of country music on KSHE's drive time. Who is this for?
I understand that but the Fast Lane does it in a way that is always entertaining. TMA is the opposite of entertaining. It is juvenile and awful.desertrat23 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 09:09 am Filling four hours with 100% sports talk in this market is impossible. The Blues are out of season. The Cardinals suck.
