610 or 810
 

I am just curious.......

I listen to 610 unless they are airing a Royals game then I switch over to 810.

i tune in to chiefsplanet.com.

I mostly listen to 610. I hate the fact that got they royals broadcasting contract, now I have to listen to 810 every other day to get away from boring ass baseball. 810 sucks most of the time because they spend way to much time talking about golf, what they ate last night, food that is being brought into the studio, or what they did last night. It seems only about half of their air time is actually devoted to sports talk, and only 10 percent of that is anything about the chiefs

Suck....

But they are better than the ass shit we get here in OKC... The Sports Animal is an absolute joke of a sports talk show...

Morning isnt to bad... Middle of the day is okay, then the afternoon cry fest from those annoying crying jackasses is just about pathetic at best...

Makes you almost want to turn on the Purple cheerleader... Almost, but not really.

Both are terrible, but I normally find 610 to be the lesser of the two evils.

If the chiefs were in the afc championship game agianst the Denver Broncos then 810 sports would be talking thick burgers, and highschool football.

I am in OKC for work at least 3 days a week and I try to stomach the Sports Animal. I do like to listen to Coach Jones, though. He reminds me of a coach I had in college. Jim and Al get on my nerves.

I think the guy that took Nick Wright's morning timeslot on 610 is a jackass.

I've only listened to Nick Wright once on 610 and that was enough for me. Keitzman show on 810 sucks, The Boarder Patrol is pretty entertaining, but Petro's is by far the best of any I've heard.

Both. As much as I didn't think it was possible, Fescoe makes Twibell sound like Bob Costas, absolutely cannot listen to him. Fortunately, I enjoy St. John. Petro gets the nod and its a toss up between KK and Wright, but that's normally when I catch up on the current events in Death Metal.

Which one has Jack Harry and call-ins lambasting the Chiefs immediately after their game ends?

That one.

I'll listen to Petro from time to time, Keitz and Wright a little bit. Outside of that, I really cannot take KC sports radio. I'll only listen to the other shows if something big is going on in KC.

One thing I strongly dislike about 610 (mainly Wright, Chris/Cowboy did this a lot before leaving 610) is that sometimes they focus too much on poking fun at 810. I remember switching from Petro to Wright after 810 went on commercial, the first thing I hear Wright say when I switched over was about how Petro and him are having a close ratings battle. Wright really needs to stop talking about Petro on the air and worry about himself.

I recently got the ESPN Radio app on my iPhone and I listen to that most of the time while driving. Love the app.

I listen to both....mainly 810 and when they go on commercials i go to 610 unless 610 has some interesting topic they are discussing and 810 doesn't at the moment. Stump the chumps is an annoying segment im forced to listen to during lunch.

I know most people I spoke to said they strongly dis-liked the Smoke N Fire segment because it isn't sports radio and it's just the guest talking about the food while everyone in the studio enjoys it. I cannot say I disagree. I'd always switch over to 610 anytime that happened.

I like the Border Patrol and Petro's show. I think KK is a pompous ass, but he beats the alternative. I find myself flipping away from KK's show often.

I'd say I listen to 810 90% of the time I listen to sports talk radio.

Neither, really anymore. I used to lsten to 610, but I don't live in town anymore. I usually listen to 1560 out of Houston in the morning until 10. I listen to a station out of Calgary at 10 for hockey talk. Jim Rome from 11-2 and then whatever. Some station out of Tulsa 1430 I think, usually after 2. Here's my opinion on KC radio:

I never liked 810 because Keitz seems like a total d-bag. I can't stand the Smoke n Fire segments. I can't stand how Kietz will make some inane point and act like he split the atom. I can't stand the phony disingenuous laugh he does either.
The Border Patrol is ok, but they take so long to get to the point sometimes I just tune out. St. John will say, "don't read this story. I'm not gonna read this story" for three minutes before they finally read a story that doesn't turn out to be that outrageous. If St. John gets out a top 10 list of something he read from a magazine, forget it. He'll stop at every number and just start talking about unrelated stuff and then never get to the list. Plus, I really hate how they play the music underneath the show. That's just terrible. And Jake Gutierrez sucks. I'd rather stab my ears than listen to that dude. I have no idea why they incorporate him into the show.

As far as 610, my main problem with them is their obsession with the format style. They seem to love the point/counterpoint. THIS SEGMENT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SUBJECT A. PLEASE CALL WITH YOUR POINT ON THAT AND NOTHING ELSE. Which is usually something like, "Do you think the Chiefs should look at Mike Vick? Give us a call." Then you just get people on either side calling in and just saying the same things over and over. "Um, yeah, this is Joe in Olathe. Mike Vick should sign here. People get more mad about Vick than Leonard Little, you know? How come nobody ever says that?"
Then the next segment they choose another subject and let dumbasses on both sides argue that point and that point only.
The best shows lay out a few topics, talk about a few things and let callers call in with an opinion on any of those topics or something else, as long as it's interesting. 610 never gets that, and I don't think they will.

Weren't you interning at 810? How'd that go?

I try to listen to them occasionally, but can never make it more than 2-3 minutes.

It's the auditory equivalent of Roy III.

Depending on the car I drive, it's either Sirius NFL Radio or ESPN Radio.

Whichever one is talking about Chiefs. Otherwise, its satellite radio for me.

Keitzman is Douche-tastic!

I can’t listen to either any longer. Thankfully with the good weather, I ride the motorcycle in during good weather. But on the days I drive in, I listen to 103.7 or news radio.

810 is brutal to listen to ; it’s like a huge info-mercial. Pimping where they’re broadcasting from; EVERY GD day it’s “c’mon down here when you can get X for $x.xx…..”. The Smoke and Fire segments were horrible

Plus, it doesn’t help that football is the only sport I watch/follow. So, 90% of the year they’re talking about sports I could care less about.

It was alright, just added some experience to see how a radio broadcast goes.

Steven St. John once asked me if I posted on Chiefs Planet. I'll admit I was intimidated because he asked in an angry tone. (He asked me this the day after I started a thread here saying that 810 said that Tony Gonzalez will be on Jim Rome's TV show.) I wasn't sure what to tell him, so I said "yeah.."

Later that morning, he goes on air and said that if he could give his interns any piece of advice, it would be to prevent message boards. I wasn't paying attention to what the topic was about, but heard that part and I assumed he targeted that to me. Nicholas Athan once told me it'd be best to stay away from Chiefs Planet.

That's probably because he'd get his ass handed to him on here because he's a ****ing idiot.

Why? Maybe cause posts can make you look bad etc? Stjohn whores up facebook with his thoughts and twitter. Maybe its a media thing

LOL when was that? Thread?

I dont understand why any of you like 810, its like listening in on someones idle conversation while they are fishing on a lazy sunday morning without beer. Everything except jack harry is slow paced, small talk, random bullshit. And they HARDLY EVER TALK CHIEFS!!!

Don't forget senior tour golf talk.

I don't really know why. I never had a bad day while at 810. My "worst day" (or in better words, my least comfortable experience or moment) was that moment right there. I knew I didn't offend him or his show/station on here, so I had no idea what the big deal was about posting on here. I'm not going to listen Nick or Steven and take their advice. It's not my fault people have nothing but negative feelings about Nick. I'm not sure what Steven has against you guys.

I think they'll have someone (at each station) kind of lurk on message boards to get a feel for the pulse, and to see if there's any stories they may have missed on. I've heard both stations discuss stuff as "new news" that was talked about on the CP a day or two before. I think the actual air talent stay off message boards because, in their minds, they're "professional sports journalists" and need to give the aura of being elevated above the average message board junkie. Even though many here on the CP are often better informed that the local sports hosts (Twibell was terrible, never prepared, Whitlock the same) you don't become part of the audience if you're the entertainer.

Does that make sense?

Twibell was the worst I've ever heard.

It also doesn't help that the guys on those shows are absolute ****ing morons of the highest caliber.

Only thing worse than 8 hours of programming on 810 is 4 hours of JIM ROME!!!

Our sports talk up here is rather horrible. The 590 lineup is:
Dan patrick-suck
Jim Rome- uber suck and always a day late on news.
Whatever annoying national fox radio show from 14:00-0700. The 14:00 show is some dickbag that screams half the time.
The 1620 station is:

Two morning douchebags sucking off pelini

Cowherd: TERRIBLE

Two afternoon douchebags sucking off Pelini and discussing Lost or 24, constantly.

+1 for This.

Goes to show how far you can go and achieve based upon who you know. Wow, that dude was the worst EVAR.

So WTF happened to the Chris & Cowboy show? I went out of town for business and then vacation, came back, and the show is gone. Those guys crack me up.

Cowboy had issues with management and eventually was released...a few weeks later Hambone jetted himself after hosting 'the afternoon saloon'. I had a feeling those 2 were inseperable. I believe Cowboy is in jacksonville now doing something with the jaguars and his own company and hambone is in arizona now chilling.

Nick Wright has a face for radio and a voice that should be played constantly to captured terrorists to give up their secrets.

Or, "The racin' Boys", or anything K-State, or Bar-B-Que cooking...

I hated those segments too, and honestly i dont get much radio time in except the mornings listening to stjohn and bukaty and then evenings driving home im usually listening to wright if KK isn't talking about the royals or chiefs

Fescoe is audio torture so I listen to St.John and crew on 810 in the morning.

Petro is my current favorite local sports talk guy and I don't listen to Rome much so 810 gets me at midday.

God help me but Nick Wright has grown on me so I spend more afternoons at 610.

Exceptions: I tune in the station talking about NFL at the moment whoever they are and I don't usually listen to the Royals games for more than a few minutes to check the score at a time.

I'm completely opposite. I only listen to 810, unless the royals are playing then I switch over to the game.

I think it's because most of those guys would get clowned if they came around here and tried to talk shop. They have the luxury of hanging up on people smarter than them on their show. That's not an option on Chiefsplanet.

Message boards completely take those guys out of their element.

A little of both thanks to the Wunderradio
App for my iPhone.

Well messageboards are pretty ruthless and im sure they couldn't handle it...i still want to know what happend to SSJ on here

810, but I can't stand Kietzman. I generally change it when he's on.

Someone probably told him to fall out of an AIDS tree, hit every branch, snap his spine on impact, catch fire, and contract testicular cancer for posting he liked _____________ at draft position ______________ in ______________ year's draft.

Fescoe went on an angry tangent this morning about how the royals say they need 2 mill fans to get big fa's it was epic. His tone was loud and annoyed and he kept syaing 'not cool man' like he was high....it was a great rant but other than that i cant listen to him regularly and his tweets are annoying but i follow him to respond

None of the on air talent at 610 last very long. They burn through people there. The only reason Keitzman holds his slot at 810 is he has ownership in the station.

I don't really like Petro, but I find myself listening to him the most, because he actually has some knowledge about sports. The new guy on 610...Sean Shareese, or whatever that guys name is a douchebag.

Is he the guy that replaced nicks time slot?

DA now has a better gig. Chris and Cowboy (will soon) have a better gig. Nick Wright is pretty bad though.

I didn't think DA and Chris & Cowboy were bad at all. I don't even like DA's style very much, but he made it work.

We had a local guy on 590 up here for a while named Matt Perralt, (sp?). He was a Boston guy but always spent a fair amount of time on local teams. When NU had that last season under Callighan, he was ruthless. (I loved it)
Fired shortly thereafter. IMO he spent way too much time on Creighton basketball but all-in-all he wasn't bad. That was the last local guy 590 will probably ever hire, (unless they find someone willing to suck the hell outta NU).

On occasion I can pick up 810 while driving around and the afternoon guys do seem to be a little more enamored with their meals than KC sports.

Like him or not, KK also has the ratings. We'll see if that changes going against Nick Wright, but KK has beat all competition thrown his way.

Theres also free lunch frank boal segment where they just eat at goodcents and stuff

610 went to hell after Clayton stop banging Rhonda Moss and she left town

yes. New Skool with SS. or however you really spell his name.

not a fan.

I would rather listen to an Obama speech than listen to Wright. He comes up with some insignificant point a blows it up like it's going change sports forever and rants on this shit when the audience wants to talk about substantial sports.

The Chiefs have a game Sunday but we will talk about that in the last hour. Right now we need to talk about why these basketball players feel the need to have sex with women. Call in with your thoughts.

I listen to Petro and St. John on 810, but listen to Nick Wright on 610. Can't stand Wright, but he at least talks about the Chiefs a lot. I refuse to listen to KK!!! I don't mind Fescoe on 610, but that is the same time as St. John.

I stream 810 to keep in touch with what's happening in KC sports. Tried to listen to some of the new guys at 610 and I'm not a big fan. I did used to like DA, but other than that, haven't ever been a fan.

It does annoy me when KK does the racin' boys and the bbq segments. That's when I change to ESPN or the local sports radio station.

yeah....that dude is a cocksmoker

Petro is the only guy I listen to with any regularity. I get why some people find him abrasive or grating, but to me he's the only guy in the market that comes off as professional and competent. And he's the only guy in the market that runs his show like the sports he covers are what's important, and not him. Which is a big selling point to me. Too many of these guys are about self-promotion and/or about talking about what they think about everything. All style over substance. Whereas from Petro, I get a passion for sports more than narcissism. Which is a big selling point to me.

I think Kietzman is the worst for this brand of self-aggrandizement, although Wright isn't far behind. I don't know how his show is in the afternoon drive, but when he was on nights, it was all long diatribes over interviews or callers. And that just didn't work for me.

The caveat to all this is that I'm basically only a fan of football. I don't really care about any other sport. So for much of the year, I just don't listen to anybody. I generally only listen on a daily basis from July to December, with a few hours around the draft. Camp reports are probably my favorite thing.

And when the Chiefs are losing (as they have been for years....), I tend to eventually tune out during the season, too.

But before everything starts to get all "jumping off bridges", I'll listen to just about anybody talking about football, whether it's NCAA or the Chiefs. But I prefer Petro by a pretty wide margin.

A few years ago I would flip back and forth each time one went to commercial. Hardly listen to 610 at all anymore. They're that bad. I think the big guys at 610 need to tell their on-air people to stop talking about 810 all the time. They do a ton of advertising for their competitor by talking about them. 810 acts like 610 doesn't even exist. There is no ratings war going on and it's not even close. 810 blows them away and has for years. I never call in to any of these shows myself, but even the callers on 610 sound dumber. I know alot of people like Nick Wright (I don't know why), but a ton of people can't stand KK so I think there is a chance that after a few months of going head-to-head Nick might have a chance to catch or pass Keitz in the ratings. These two are the most disliked guys on the radio in this town so it should be interesting. That's the only time slot 610 has a chance at.

Chris & Cowboy where terrible and they were replacing bland and blander. The dumbest thing I've seen 610 do was getting rid of DA and putting Twibell in his spot. I remember thinking WTF are these guys doing? He was by far the best I'd heard on 610. I seriously think the people running that station want it to fail or are just complete morons. I never got to hear it, but I've heard several people talk about Whitlock's last day at 610. Guess he was burning the place to the ground over the air and took them a while to get him off. Would love to hear that audio if somebody has it. I've heard it is epic.

I listen to 610 primarily but liked their old set up better. So I suppose it's a little of both now.

They had Nick in the mornings for my good quality sports talk and then Chris & Cowboy for some goofing around. So I got a little of both.

Now it's pretty much just Nick. The new guy in Nick's old time-slot isn't in tune with the local teams as he's from Washington but hearing less about the Royals is okay with me.

810 is okay except for KK. Lets see. BBQ? Check. Racin Boys? Check. A ton of golf? Check.... No thanks.

KK= Smoke'N Fire ads (overpriced BBQ gear), "Racin Boys" (boring talk about guys driving in circles), golf (yaaaawn), K-State (not a fan), Jack Harry (was he hit by lightning? wtf is wrong with that guy?), and a holier-than-thou attitude.

Oh yeah, and also an effete annoying KU fan (seriously, way to represent, Danny :rolleyes:) for a sidekick.

My favorite local sports radio show of the past decade or so was the combination of Jason Whitlock and Neal Jones. But then, I was a Tony Kornheiser fan too when his program aired here.

I'll say this for KK, and it's one of the reasons he stays and probably will stay for a long time- he's the best salesman out of all the radio personalities when it comes to pitching product.
If you're a potential advertiser you'll look at ratings, but you also look at who's going to be reading the spots (if you're paying for the personalities to read them). If I was a car dealer, or a golf shop, I'd much rather have KK read the spot for me that anyone 610's ever had. Chris and Cowboy were entertaining, but the pool of clients willing to let two guys who talk about strippers and gambling promote your product. Plus guys like that usually read through the spots and move on. KK actually sells what he's pimping. He acts like it's personal to him. I don't really care for him, but I guarantee the people he reads spots for like him a lot.

610 talks too much royals BB and I cant stand J Rome, but I listen to both, probably more 810 for the chiefs coverage.:thumb:

Royals talk is terrible. When you start "looking for positives" and assessing minor leaguers by June it crosses over into unlistenable.
Too much rah rah KU on 610 for my taste, too. I realize it's a KU market though.

I am so tired of hearing about how bad the Royals are.......that is one dead ass horse

Try being a host and trying to entertain your listeners (obviously your not and you speak for many.) That is hard to do. People who called and wanted to discuss the Royals would not wait that long because it wasn't worth being on hold for.

I used to listen to a little of both, but I just can't deal with 610 anymore. If I'm listening to one of the two now, it's going to be 810.

Generally, I'll listen to Petro, anythings better than that tool Rome. At 2 P.M. I usually switch to 580 unless they're talking golf or car racing. Oh and the dude in OKC is correct the sports animal is horrible. It's 70% commercials,and Al Ashback sucks

normally flip back and forth to avoid the 15 minutes of commercials, golf stories, food talk, nascar, etc, etc, etc...

Where's the "I live out of the area and can't listen to either" option?

And no, I don't listen to them on the interwebz either.

A little of both.

Nick Wright's better than I remember him being. I take lunch from 2-2:30. Keitz spends the first 15 minutes pimping a business, Wright gets right to the sports. I appreciate that.

For the morning drive, I prefer St. John and Nate over Fesco.

yep. KK does that at the top of every hour, returning from break etc.

Petro - same thing. First 20 minutes of the show talk about what awesome lunch specials there are to be had at the location at which they're broadcasting.

Pass.

I have to give Nick Wright my vote as my favorite KC sports radio host........by default

never thought I'd say it....but Nick would get my vote right now.

JFC.

Listened the past 2 days as I didn't ride the bike, and was entertained etc.

Yeah, I agree.

Today he started right off with how the possible Mizzou move to the Big Ten would be a bonus for sports fans in KC in general. More teams to talk about, more interesting matchups, etc.

Basically, that having both the Big 10 and the Big 12 in the KC market would be a good thing.

It's whoever is talking about the more interesting thing, unfortunately many times they talk about the same boring topic at the same boring time, like when all music radio stations take their commercial break at the same time. I hate this time of year when they cover the draft for like a week, if that, then straight back to baseball and golf for three straight months. It's the worst time, also 610's Royals coverage is just overdone, last year they did so much Royals coverage even when Chiefs Training camp was going on, that's when I listened to 810.
