Awful.

It hasn't changed.
However, there is something important about the local media's influence that doesn't often get mentioned.
Soren, for instance, has a daily segment where he visits like 5 cities around the country and talks to a local guy there about the teams in that city. Those guys are radio or newspaper guys about 90% of the time.
People that sit and listen to 810 every day very rarely realize that OTHER CITIES are doing the SAME THING, and they guys they're having on are guys like PETRO.
In fact, just last week I heard Clinkscale talking about going on a radio station in New York to break down the Giants game. Danny freaking Clinkscale.
And I've also heard them laughing about stuff that they've said that ends up on Sportscenter.
