Why Sports Radio is Failing

Have you ever listened to a sports talk radio station? I have. And now I know why they are losing money.

Today I was trying to listen to my local station, 710 ESPN Seattle. I tuned in and today's subject was... "Twleve Hours of 12th Man"...

WTF?

Who wants to listen to TWELVE HOURS of Seahawks postgame coverage? NOBODY! And the stations wonder, "Gee man, why are we losing our audience?". Because... YOU CAN ONLY MAKE SO MUCH OUT OF A FOOTBALL GAME!

Doing the simple math, for every hour of gametime, you get... 12 hours of wrapup? Huh?

Please, save yourself the misery, and don't listen to sports talk the day after an NFL game.
