It’s top to bottom - maybe Tony Gonzalez is the weak link, I mean, he’s fine - but top to bottom it’s a great broadcast.” He continued by pointing out several of the studio analysts as performing well early in their broadcasting careers. He would have come back and talked about it at halftime if the Tua thing didn’t happen.” And sure enough, what happened? They did it and they got burned. They’re gonna get beat, and I’ll be here to tell you it was a mistake that they’re not helping out their corners’. “When they were talking on the pregame - just football points, not Tua points - Richard Sherman they ask him like ‘You’ll be mad if what?’ and he said ‘I’ll be mad - and I’m gonna be talking to you at halftime about it - if the Dolphins, after playing 90 snaps on defense against the Bills, put their corners out on islands and don’t give them safety help. “Everything about Amazon’s broadcast is the best one. So, that aside, for me it’s the best crew,” White said.

“I will say, the Amazon crew is getting criticized for not mentioning the Bills game during halftime. WGR morning hosts Howard Simon and Jeremy White discussed the Amazon crew, with White saying he believes it’s the best NFL broadcast on Howard and Jeremy. Since 2013, it now simulcasts on 96.7, KTCK-FM, licensed to Flower Mound TX (this frequency used to be WBAP-FM that simulcast the programming on WBAP 820, a 50,000 watt powerhouse and clear channel station at night heard in nearly 40 states).Amazon Prime Video and Thursday Night Football received backlash last week for failing to mention a previously perceived concussion by Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after the third-year signal caller suffered a scary-looking concussion in the first half of a game against the Bengals. For a few years, it had an FM simulcast on 104.1 KTDK/Sanger, just north of the DFW area. Since AM radio waves have different wave propagation than FM, especially after dusk, the station has a different nighttime coverage designed specifically to protect another station also operating on the 1310 frequency at night. Both daytime and nighttime coverage operate with directional signals. Its nighttime power is 5,000 watts (which is what it has been for some time) with three towers. The station operates its AM facility with a daytime power of 25,000 watts with four towers. Today, the station is owned by Cumulus Media, which also owns New Country 96.3 KSCS-FM, 99.5 The Wolf (KPLX-FM), Hot 933 (KLIF-FM), TalkRadio 570 KLIF, and NewsTalk 820 WBAP. Personalities that have been on the station during its history include Norm Hitzges, George Dunham, Mike Rhyner, Skip Bayless, Curt Menefee, Craig Miller, Chuck Cooperstein, and many more. What is also remarkable is its ability to attract a young audience on the AM band that has been progressively skewing older since the early 1980s. They are branded as 'SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket,' and have successfully developed the sports/talk/opinions format in the DFW area. On January 24, 1994, the station, then under new ownership led by investment banker Spence Kendrick, flipped formats to all sports/talk and changed the call letters to KTCK. At that time, it was one of the few remaining stations in town on the AM band that still played music. Later the station changed called letters and became KAAM with a big band/standards music format for most of that time (similar to SIRIUS XM 40s Junction). I was one of his students in 1974 and, through Edd, I got to meet Bart McLendon, Gordon's son. The station manager at that time with the NBC all-news format was Edd Routt, a longtime Gordon McLendon sales executive at crosstown rival 1190 KLIF, and taught night classes at SMU in broadcast management. It was an affiliate of the Mutual Broadcasting System for years but later switched to the NBC Radio Network and in the 70s carried NBC's News & Information Service network on a 24/7 basis. For years, it was owned by the City Of Dallas (Classical 101 WRR-FM still is to this day). To just hit the highlights, it operated under the call letters WRR ('We Radiate Radio'), first licensed for municipal and police transmissions on August 5, 1921. The 1310 frequency has a tremendous amount of history in Dallas. (CBS 11) - On Thursday, January 24, Cumulus Media's SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket (KTCK-AM/FM) celebrated its 25th anniversary as the pre-eminent sports radio station in the DFW area as well as nationally.
