Which THREADSTERS have the best "ON AIR RADIO PRESENCE"

Which of you get ON THE AIR often? Which of you do you recognize?


Would it be a good idea if we got on or acknowledged our "CALL SIGNS" on the air?

Sure would be nice to know what ya''ll sound like. I vote for having everyone call in by their moniker.

I do call in by my moniker! Actually, I haven''t called in to any show on the radio in months. I''m about due.

...I can easily recognize your voice. I can also recognize the following...

Mark Blankenship
Curmudgeon
Wild Ape
Hardcore Harry
Randall Pretzer

I called in last Saturday when you were with BOB. I''m the one that told the caller RAY to ""put that in his pipe and smoke it.""

Honestly, en re Bob...I have loads of respect for him and consider him to be SOUTH TEXAS'' premier philosopher. But every time I have spoken with him on the air i get the impression he is not listening to what I am trying to say.

He homes on on some minute element of my points and hammers jumping to a conclusion instead of addressing the actuall issue. I suspect he is operating from ""what he thinks"" I might say next, instead of what i actually said. A fallacy I often find myself in when debating SAIDEWALK-CIPHER.

I get the same impression of Bob, but I like him.

Occassionally I disagree with him, like the brute within concept.

I almost called yesterday when Terry Carter announced his dissappointment that voters get to decide what to do with the beach. It is a good thing I didn''t call because I don''t know how good they are with the censor button at the station.

I think Bob''s really interested in ratings and beating the other morning shows out there. Which is why he does that, to sit and study the deatials of a caller''s point, is boring. I think he tries to extract the most commonly recognisable point, address it, and go on quickly... O''Riley does the same thing and it bugs me... but thats radio... without ratings they got no moeny...

Curious...I sometimes...often times...prefer Common Sense with Bob Jones, is is the show in which I first heard Bob Jones with the analysis, cool guests (like Maynard Ferguson) and a more meaty show.


Rev. Jones, if you read this, take that for what it is. One man''s opinion...I simply perfer the Saturdays.

You say it like its a bad thing...

You''ve got to realise the forum your tuning in to, AM morning radio. Their goal, to get as many people listing so they can sell that audience to advertisers. without that there is no radio... I think Bob tries to make the show as ""meaty"" as possible while still being competive in the market. If you want more indepth stuff, your just not gonna find it on the AM dial at 8:00 in the morning.

...''tis the nature of the animal then. However, that makes it a bit disengenuous when they try to take a moral footing...is it genuine or the smoke and mirrors of rating sweeps.

That may be my point.

Since I have met Major, and hear him fairly often, I would say that he has one of the best on air presence.

On the other hand, I have heard Wild Ape and Young Wife on the radio only once. But it was memorable. I was driving home and Young Wife was abusing Wild Ape on air. Making him do the dishes if I remember correctly. I was laughing pretty hard.

I do recall others calling in, but they don''t stick out like the ones that I mentioned.

As far as using ""Call Signs"", I use my real name, Terry, most of the time. Last week when Arnold mentioned my call sign, I used that when calling in.

I almost forgot to mention Jenni. I recognize her voice in a sec. She has a great on air presence. She seems very comfortable.

You have one of the best Major, I enjoyed wild ape and his wife when they were on, that was nice. A non political discussion they had, interesting to just get loose and down to earth sometimes instead of always just discussing big issues.

hardcore is good

I think all of them have a presence, they do well on the air and make good points, I can''t and won''t speak for myself except I have lost every debate I have had on there with either Eric or the times with John, their old producer Ben and Dawn. I let myself get sidetracked too much.

radio ratings...

Without subscribing and paying money I think its kinda hard to get up to date detailed ratings...

But I can tell you in the fall of 04 KEYS and KKTX had a 2.6 rating and in the spring of 05 KEYS had a 2.7 while KKTX had 2.2.

I think thouse numbers are % of the market, and I think I saw the corpus Market (defined as the population over 12) was around 300,000.... I think...

I''m not sure if data even exists for local stations ratings throughout the day... Maybe someone can fill us in.

But wouldn''t you love to know ratings right before Blah-go left against the other guy at 1360...and then now. Jones is surely getting whipped

I''m with you on this one Ape. Except for Tuesdays. I find it hard to listen to Homey when he is taking his greater than thou attitude.
