Yea, I don't think they'd ever talk for 17 minutes, there's no way that's true. They probably do 3-4 updates every 30 minutes, which means that'd eat at least a minute+ of advertising. Doubtful.

after reading that article, the simple conclusion is that things have changed in the past 15 years

Agreed. It does explain the life-long animus he has had towards Taylor.

I'm guessing 10 of those 17 minutes were Pittsburgh Dad Jr. making fun of Colony as well. Actual sports talk was probably 1 minute.Why am I having a hard time believing those times?Someone complained about it on twitter and he listed the times they talked this morning from 8-8:30. I don't know if that's actual talk time, or stupid fan morning updates included.Pittsburgh Dad Jr. said something about reduced commercials and possibly more calls during da fan morning show this morning. did anyone else hear that talk
OR ARE WE JUST OBSESSING ABOUT Pittsburgh Dad Jr.
I feel like 17 minutes is a decent amount of time, but I find that it's not 17 minutes of decent discussion. Filler and nonsense probably is half of that time.that's interesting, because we talked from 803-8:12 then 8:15-8:19.30 and then again 8:26-8:30.
I have it all timed out and documented.
KTK is probably right when suggesting that those times may include Da Fan updates and probably the CBS Sports Update too.

lol I tried 5 times on the way to work yesterday to hear some thoughts on the Penguins game and had no luck.

This right here - nothing changed.

Yeah so there is no official station metric or stats to back up his claim, just him looking at his logs and eyeballing things making outrageous claims like usual. I doubt management actually cares.

He can be a bit salty, but I've always enjoyed Perrotto as a radio guest. Hope he gets well soon.@JPerrotto
An update: I had a cancerous tumor removed from my abdomen yesterday. Doctor is optimistic it hasn’t spread to the lymph nodes.

I had to unfollow vuk. Got sick of him crying about everything, and then crying about people making fun of his crying.

You should have done that a long time ago my friend. Biggest joke in the Pittsburgh “media” and that’s saying something.I had to unfollow vuk. Got sick of him crying about everything, and then crying about people making fun of his crying.
Also, best hockey talk in town AINEC, but how predictable will Mark Madden be after the Penguins finally do get eliminated?
-get on everyone’s case for being ungrateful for 2 cups
-not at all get on his buddy Letang’s case

Someone here timed the morning show last year (two years ago?).
There were 32 minutes of "Sports Talk" and 28 minutes of "commercials".
What Pittsburgh Dad Jr. and the station consider "commercials" are only the paid advertisements.
We the listeners consider any break or deviation from the "Sports Talk" as a "commercial" break.
Traffic, weather, Colony sports update, CBS two minute drill, etc... the station does not consider as a "commercial".
They consider those those minutes into the timing for "Sports Talk".
They probably consider the 30-45 second long talk show host ad reads (My Pillow, mattress, plumbing, etc...) as "Sports Talk" also.
So yeah, to them they have like 35 minutes of "Sports Talk" per hour.
To us it sounds like 25 minutes per hour.

Who is the replacement for Josh Miller?

Sounds about right. What is worse is when they rush things to get into the "update" slots. They rush talking about a subject or with a caller only to have a harsh transition to pitching My Pillow or windows then eight minutes of commercials and updates. Its infuriating.Someone here timed the morning show last year (two years ago?).

The best way to listen to their shows (if you can wait a day) is to listen on Radio.com. They break each show down into segments with topic titles and no commercials.

Drove my jeep into work today which means I gave The Fan's morning show 30 minutes of my time. It was repeated **** take after **** take.

Mullzy: Hypothetically, if you had to pick either Letang or Kessel to trade this offseason, who would you choose.
Everyone: This is stupid. Cant you come up with any topics rooted in reality?
Mullzy: OMG these replies are soooo fuNnY. Do u not know what hypothetical means?!?

That's the B Team Bro Show for you. He is getting roasted for that poll on Twitter too. Poni did a similar Twitter poll earlier today but added in Brassard's name. Just f'n ridiculous.Mullzy: Hypothetically, if you had to pick either Letang or Kessel to trade this offseason, who would you choose.

The best and only to try and avoid those dumb topics is wait until the next day, load Radio.com, and listen to the segments you want commercial and update free.
