KRNT Reuniting Marty & Miller

[capitalcityguy]

I'd think ESPN Omaha is a better gig than KXNO Des Moines....but maybe he prefers to live in Des Moines as it is.

FWIW, Des Moines is the 72 largest radio market. Omaha is 74

Talking about Winston, why would Downs want to talk about the ISU game last night, this is why I hope he doesn't take the new show

They are having Travis Hines on in a few minutes to discuss the game.

Haven't listened to KXNO since they moved Jay Mohr to evenings.

I didn't even know ESPN radio was in Des Moines.

Same, this is news to me too.

You have terrible taste.

Its a refined listening pallet, some day you will realize they are the best we got, as long as Cotlar and Heather aren't on the radio together we are good. DP show is the best on the radio. I hate Rome.

Hanrahan and Downs suck as a show.

Do Mark and heather and all it a show. I like mark. I dislike listening to downs. I haven't had time to form an opinion on heather yet.

 

[JellyBean]

Marty sucks so bad.

Miller said, "I've been looking for an opportunity to finish what Marty and I started in June of 1996, and this is a chance to do just that," Miller said this afternoon.

But given Marty's history - "finishing" may be on Tirrell's timeline and not Kenny's.

How Marty has a job is unbelievable. Next Steve Luebke will be on TV selling cars again.

If Miller knew about is opportunity to get back with mouth of the midwest, why did he bother to come back on the air for 2 days? Very classy

I've only really heard Mark once - new year's eve. And he had some local Pittsburgh talking head on who did a run up on the Steelers - so huge kuddos from me on that. Even though I think the guy he pulled about 75% of what he said out of his ***.

I don't mind Andrew Downs but he is far from a Cyclone fan. He's a step away from Jon Sears on the Unabashed Hawkeye Scale.

Oh for **** sake, Downs is as fair of a person you can find for a hawkeye fan when it comes to the Cyclones

He was told 2 months ago by KXNO they'd have a host for him soon....they waited something like 10 more weeks...not really his fault.

 

[Cydkar]

I hope they are paying a lot because Marty is in some serious financial trouble.

I hope they aren't paying Marty much at all, frankly.

Per Steve Deace on Twitter, KRNT is moving to ESPN and will be bringing back Marty and Miller.

Interesting since Ken just started with Heather this week.

@SteveDeaceShow: Big time coup for Des Moines Radio Group landing Marty & Miller. The Rose Bowl of all Des Moines sports talk radio shows.

@SteveDeaceShow: I guess I didn't realize I was breaking news, but KRNT in Des Moines is going ESPN radio and reuniting Marty & Miller in the afternoons.

Yawn :SLEEP:

another rant coming here...

I gave Joe a listen, knowing that he had previously worked at KXNO... 590 in Omaha usually goes out of its way in promos to not mention ISU... they talk Huskers 95% of the time and Iowa-Creighton the other 5%. Ironically I see that they had CW on today on 590..

Anyways I could see Joe wanting to leave 590 if he is sick of stroking husker fan's ego's....

Heather kept saying "we" when talking about ISU. I love ISU but I can't stand listening to a radio personality say "we" when talking about a team. I'm not a fan of homer radio even when my team is the beneficiary.

I was glad Ken interrupted to correct her.

Geesh, she's been doing sports radio for two days. Give her a chance to refine her craft before you write her off.
