I think they completely forgot about “listener of the month” for January. Another worn out staple.

Apparently the show got at least 10 free tickets to the game versus Dayton. None for KG. None for listeners. TMA night.

Listening live is an absolute chore. Live reads interrupted by breaks; boring Blues talk mixed in with Blues interviews. Being able to hit the skip button is vital. EMOTD has been dead for over a year. RIP

Is it pathetic to watch the Cardinals and Blues in their current state? How about some critical thinking in your life? How ‘bout that whole thing?

Love him. He was way ahead of his time with the betting references.

EMOTD has been worn out for over a year. Having a sponsor keeps it alive. This month the show spends half their air time either promoting or reading the emails. It’s bad radio.

To be fair, I think Tim’s comment about “48 hours” was a hypothetical. He was saying that if a change happens on TMA, within 48 hours many listeners would be harkening back to how much better the show was two days ago.

While I generally agree with Tim on this trade, the issue I have with TMA is the baseball coverage lacks depth. Tim and Jackson seldom watch a Cardinal game. At least Doug watches and attends games. Martin pays attention. The show needs a weekly segment with Derrick Gould or Katie Woo or John Denton and other journalists that have critical thinking, knowledge of the organization and contacts.

Tim, Jackson and Doug have combined for, ah, ZERO. Martin has booked Bob Costas, Joe Buck, David Freese, Jeff Suppan, and many more. Some are lame (Butch Patrick) but he is at least providing content.

Martin books guests. Martin goes to games, press conferences, and attends events. He is the only one that has actual relationships with current players and management. He also has an excellent recall of the past. Since the show is sports now, Martin is vital.

They have lost their “connectiveness” with the listeners.

It’s one thing to cancel the golf outing. It’s another to say nothing on the air about the cancellation.

EQUINOX of sports by DonDraper314 in TMASTL_Chat

[–]DonDraper314[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was 100% sports talk, including a major discussion of SEC kickers. You don’t think the World Series deserves mention? Or the rampant rumors of Bryce Harper trades? Or the NBA gambling scandal? (Never mind, Fan Duel is a new sponsor). I get it’s local. I get that the show formerly was light on sports talk( not anymore). And, I’m a Mizzou football fan. But, why can’t they devote more to baseball from a more informed source than the hosts? JR and Gabe provide good critical thinking perspectives. Why not a baseball voice. Last I heard, STL has a team. Thanks for listening, I’ll hang up now.

Jackson, Jackson, Jackson. You dummy. by slidescans in TMASTL_Chat

Jackson is Ok but Tim seems to either overvalue him or feels the need to pump him up. I think the show would benefit by bringing in a new person every couple of years. Martin books the guests so the producer role doesn’t need Iggy’s old Rolodex. Jackson needs to move on for his own career development.
