103.3 has the same range as the search for CBN’s replacement. Not far, technically a correct statement.

But do they pay the price for a longer range?

When I was in radio they at least gave you more than one quarter to build an audience.

I wouldn't be surprised if before long Town Square goes the dumb ai route for radio personalities.

Well they still have the guy from Shreveport on in the morning. Talking LSU.

Sadly, Dave got stuck with a bad co host. I couldn’t listen to it

Dave was listed a few weeks ago on the GOAT page, cruised over after check h/s football scores.

Worse than the articles is the fact that when you click on one on your cell phone, it feels like you have been hacked from all the pop-ups and adds embedded in the actual article.

It is fact that both Dave and Lyn have been let go by Townsquare. They waited until after football season to make this move. Disappointed we no longer have anyone pushing our brand on the network that carries our games.

No kidding. Dude is horrible. I listened for about 30 seconds one day and then shut it off.

Yeah, with the ridiculous amount of pop up ads, video ads popping up, etc. you’d think everyone at Townsquare would be a millionaire by now.

Yeah…that dude was brutal to try to listen to.

That's an absolute disappointment. Not sure what the agreement was when they brought Dave back. A hail Mary? Townsquare has parted with any talent they've had.

It's sad joke that the station that carries UL sports has NO UL SPORTS TALK!

I hope Dave sticks around and gets another gig. I like his coverage. I'll continue listening to Locked on Sunbelt.

Is the brutal co-host gone too?

I would suspect radio listeners for UL sports are on the decline just as people attending the game in person is.. LSU having a bigger fan base results in more listeners results in more ad revenue. As Vito Corleone said "it's nothing personal it's just business".

That being said.... terrestrial radio is on life support. It will go the way of C band satellite TV. Satellite TV is on the way out. It's all going to streaming, podcasts or services like Hulu and others.

The contract between Learfield and Townsquare goes for four more years after this one. One thing illustrating the new world is our women's basketball play by play guy. He is Dawson Iserloh from 103.7. Sorry if I misspelled his name. He does an outstanding job. Strange now to have someone from a competing station be a broadcaster on the network that carries our games. I wonder how Townsquare feels about that. In reality, they have no influence on that decision.

Dawson is the best in town on the radio by far. Too bad his cohost Raymond is AWFUL. Wish Dawson could team up with Dave.

You are correct in Dawson being great at play by play AND Talk Radio. He may get his own show someday.

What happens if they play tape of his show at same time as game and he competes against himself?

Changing media related, NASCAR just signed a big deal with the CW, which includes streaming.

Still has Fox, NBC deals.

I suspect Leirfield will be shown the door before long, and the university will broadcast all games in-house. KRVS is a pretty strong signal. It's also one of, if not the most streamed radio station in the world.

Oh well. We knew this day was coming. All the more reason to tune into Nick and Gerry (and sometimes me) on Ragin Review.

Better get ready to be @“Lafayette” to death…lmao

4 more years on contract between Learfield and Townsquare. Not sure how much time left on contract between UL and Learfield. Presume it is at least 4 years.

You can also listen to Craig and his variety of guests on his We’re Talkin podcast for additional Cajun athletic discussions.
