I get sick of our guys always talking food, their last round of golf, and arguing about non sports drivel. Not to mention the on air non commercial advertising. Even though they technically only do 16 minutes of commercials per hour, there seems to be less than 25 minutes of actual content here in KC>

I listen to alot of espn L.A during basketball season, Mason and Ireland and Max and Marcellus, usually only interviews are repeated.

On the weekends they have this show called Weekend Warrior with Dr. Robert Klapper the head Surgeon or someshit at Ceaders in L.A and they break down sports injuries, very informative. Its really cool shit. Last Sat they talked to the Vikings team doctor about Peterson and why he recovered so fast and why MCL's and ACL's tear without direct contact.
Good shit.

Got some numbers, perhaps I won the Commercial/Drivel combo-pack on 610 this morning.... I got in the truck at 6:44am in Lee's Summit and stepped out at 7:26am in the parking garage in downtown KC. In that there were 17:54 seconds of "talk." I use the term loosely because this is what I heard:

* Commercials were playing when I got into the truck
* Next they went into a long dialog about the upcoming "Top 10" list for MT
* Got the news update - that was informative
* I know somebody got a free camera shoved up his furnaces' ass (and that's good evidently)
* Then it's going to be signing day, but most of that was about the girls who take tha faxes off the machine, so I didn't count that time. We all know we'd **** any of those girls if given the chance. This is unless they talked as much as these guys did.
* More on the Top 10 (and how we all know know what MT's going to do mostly, so we're to focus on 2-10. OK!
* Then there was a VERY circular debate about BA and does he deserve $10M a year.

No offense to the fine Bob at 610 and his posse, but I didn't leave the truck any better for the cause. I appreciated the fact that some clown in Baltimore thinks either 13 or 19 years (he didn't recall the exact number of years the doode said) is too long to wait for a SB parade.. Yeah, I agree, STFU Mr. Baltimore guy! And I can appreciate a quick reference to the fax girls, I like it as much as the next person, but don't drag it out.

Perhaps the facts are this; those 18'ish minutes of content in 40'ish minutes (let's call it 50%) reflected a slow sports day, the Kansas City area is just having a slow sports week (so we focus on BA!), or these guys just weren't on their radio game this morning...

This^

Sirius/XM has WAY TOO MANY Commercials on it....

Their talk stations are worse than regular AM/FM stations. Really is discouraging that I can listen to Sirius for my 25 min drive into the office and catch 20+ min of commercials.

They are extremely frustrating...

Outside of the commercials when you got into the truck, it all sounds like content. Maybe not great content, but content nonetheless.

No shit:rolleyes: I quit listening to 810 specifically for this and especially the long pregnant pauses and so bad that I thought something was wrong with my computer only to find out they just had nothing more to talk about once you got past as you say, "whatchya having for lunch today" BS.

At least Fescoe on 610 keeps it funny with sports top ten lists when they have exhausted the day's sports topics. Fescoe is so much better than the "illegal immigrant patrol".

I disagree the content on 810 may not be as good but the Delivery and passion for KC sports are much better there. If the morons are talking about golf/bbq/baseball/etc I just listen to tunes instead.

I just recently started streaming both stations especially early in the a.m. since we now have the 1st pick just to get the pulse of Chiefs Nation so I will admit I don't have a long contextual true objective take yet but initially just for the a.m. shows Fescoe and Josh are far more entertaining and informative.

If you want entertainment then 610 may be the way to go, for information 810 is much better. The morning time slot may be close, but the rest of the day 810 blows 610 away.

I will keep that in mind. :thumb:

The best part about 610 is that they will talk Chiefs A LOT MORE than 810 so if you're not a fan of local stuff here other than Chiefs you may find 610 more enjoyable even though they really don't know shit from shinola most of the time. Chiefs Planet is much more "Plugged In" to the pulse of the real Chiefs than these guys will ever be.

Ummmmm, I gave them credit for it, so yeah, it was content, but it was no more than 50% for the 40 minutes listened to. So I guess I should update the OP to indicated that 610, at least, runs at about 50% of the airtime being "content" (in some legally defined way).

But I have the option to turn off the radio, I just wanted to answer something I had be curious about for a while. I'm not saying I'll even turn the radio off, I just might focus on other things. It's all good. :D

Yep. This is the primary reason why I listen to 610 and not 810.

Back on the topic of actually talking sports. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I mean what is there to talk about right now? College basketball or Royals couldn't put me to asleep faster. I like the NBA but around here nobody cares.

At this point I'm only partly listening for draft talk. Outside of that? Yeah bring on the light hearted talk about Cdot's date with Kelly Jones, etc..

It's no different from the vast majority of threads on here during the off-season.

It's just hard to listen to stupidity, I just pop on some toons instead of the dumpster fires. ;)
