- Bought this as a gift for my P1. He enjoyed the read, but found that some of it he'd heard already from listening so regularly. Good book if you are cool with deja vu.
- I was very excited to get this book, as I've been a devoted P1 since the day the station launched - but my move to California several years ago made it difficult for me to follow what was going on. Often times, I'd catch it online and would miss a lot of the jokes, so I'd have to call out to my P1 friends in DFW for explainations. I figured this book would not only share the history of how the station started, but what has been going on while I was away. Especially the Greggo fiasco.
While I learned a little bit about the history and who was involved in putting the station together, I was disappointed in how quickly the book put that aside and moved on to current day goings on.
Once it got into each show, as another reviewer said, it was the same stuff we've heard for years ad nauseum. If you're a fan enough to buy this book, there's nothing in there you haven't heard already. That's where I think the book failed. Instead of focussing on stories of each show or character, go into more details of the behind-the-scenes stories. I worked at The Ticket via an outside vendor and heard more stories those few days than I learned in this book.
It's also written pretty poorly. No offense to the author, but some of the sentence structures are junior college level - at best. - I was listening the morning Skip Bayless signed on the first day in January of 1994. The station has the most loyal fan base as if they were a Local Team themselves. Very entertaining book that explains a lot of the organic greatness that was built and still dominates DFW airwaves today
- Great history of The Ticket
- Interesting look into a very popular sports talk radio station in Dallas. I was intrigued the whole time, good job!
- Interesting read.
- a bit disappointing for a p1
- I like the radio station and their hosts but this was not that insightful and felt like a commercial for The Ticket. A bonus for me was the used book I got had autographs from several of the on air personalities in the front and back of the book
