ESPN “Lafayette” branding

Can’t be any worse than the morning show on 103.7. I tried listening this morning but after about 15 minutes I had to turn it off. The new producer for RP3’s show is terrible and brings absolutely nothing to the table.

On another note I actually enjoy Scott Prather’s show. Was good to hear Dr. Maggard on there this morning hyping up the game for tomorrow

There were some good, interesting points brought up and questions answered. I wish Scott would just ask the questions without making a speech.

Terrestrial radio is experiencing a slow death. Signal strength has nothing to do with who listens. It's all going to be on apps. There was a push for high def radio a while back. That died a quick death when pod casts and online apps took over.

Go try to buy a clock radio with an alarm. They may be out there but they are few and far between. If you like the one you got you better keep it.

In the case of ESPN Lafayette, it started as a slow death and has turned into a free fall. Sad part is their FM signal starts breaking up on Ambassador near the bridge.

The rise of the Cajun podcasts is only happening because radio has failed in quantity and quality of Cajun coverage.

No doubt. Poor mainstream business decisions have opened a door.

I am pleasantly surprised at the initial level of quality in the various Ragin' Cajuns podcasts.

Actually correct on all points. Still a sports station should be clear to past Opelousas, New Iberia, Crowley, Abbeville, and Henderson

If I recall correctly the whole of Town Square is in trouble. ESPN 1420 was doing well individually.

The latest moves on ESPN 14.20 are indicative of what caused the overall problems at TowSquare.

The only problem there is casual fans have no clue about pod casts.

100% true.

Townsquare Media is currently $540 million in debt. Your statement about ESPN 1420 doing well on its own is simply not true. Without the support of income from its sister stations, they would have been off the air a long time ago.

Heard through the grapevine that they plan to bring on another local host. They need to do something because the station is a shell of its former self.

Or too old to really understand what a pod cast is or how to access it. I'm truly upset with local programming. My morning and afternoon drives were directed around the times Stevie, Kevin, Scott and Jay (and sometimes Billy) were on air.

I'm as die hard a fan of all things Ragin Cajun as they come, but truly don't know what a pod cast is, where and when to listen.....

I know the radio shows had certain time frames, but does a pod cast have the same? And if not, then does it really matter if a person listens live?

Thanks for helping out this older generation.
