Calling All 1310 "The Ticket" P1s!!!

[BullFrog Dad]

I must have missed it but did the Ticket ever say what the deal is on Greg "The Hammer" Williams?

[kaorder1999]

He has been permanantly terminated and his attorney's have filed a cease and desist order agains the station forbidding them to use his name, likeness or voice ever again on the Ticket.

Yeah, he was abusing drugs and it affected him on air.

yes. It was talked about on the air and Rhyner and Corby said that they were not aloud to say HIS same anymore (of course didnt say Greggo) and they had to pull all commercials and drops with his name in it or his voice.

well I knew the technical term, I just didn't realize that the Ticket used it when talking to listeners...I figured it was an inside joke of some sort.

It pretty much is. And yes...I think it's a pretty dumb term! :eek: :eek: :eek:

ps - I do enjoy listening to Norm and the Hardline

If true, I think a good thing, he needs to get out of DFW market because IMO his on air rep is ruined at the moment, and I dont think alot of other radio people trust him

With the Hammer getting the axe, so have at HALF of the drops...

There was one day on the air that Cobra and the OG Wolf explained everything. One of the most interesting segments in quite some time. Now we are all in holding pattern to see what the new lineup will be on the hardline.

There is supposed to be a major announcement tomorrow... I think at 10 or 11am.

yeah it's supposed to be tmrw at 11:10. I have a feeling they'll give an announcement on TicketStock. We'll find out that Petty Theft is playing (likely) and Nolan Ryan will be one of the celebs doing free autographs (guaranteed). Then again...it could be some programming shifts.
