Okay, good luck trying to start something that would directly compete with your employer and telling people at your work about it openly. I'm sure it wouldn't end in a firing and your employer working to ensure they wouldn't lose any business over it.
I didn't say send out a company wide email, I was only referring to his co-host, producer, presumed friend of the past 10 years.

CW has said he discussed starting something like IE with Ross and others after they were rehired by KXNO.

I’m always amazed at the hate local radio hosts get and the reasons why. I enjoy all the shows, minus Condon and Miller. I enjoy the sports is secondary on a sports station. All miller and condos talk about is is gambling. Certainly all better than national radio.
Right? People need to be able to grow mentally to learn how to say, "I don't like..." vs "the show sucks! I can't believe it's been on for years!" Which means it hasn't sucked if it's been in that long.

Yeah, they talked about it but at that time it was just an idea. Obviously this came into being right after Ross was fired a month or so ago. So it happened quickly. When Williams and other were hired back, it was still 18-24 months before IE was going.

Serious question, are you Ross or are you Travis? You get crazy defensive whenever Travis gets criticized. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen it either.

FYI, the mere fact that something has been around for 10+ years doesn't mean it doesn't suck.

Did they have a single sponsored segment the last 6 months? The penalty box wasn’t even sponsored anymore.

I wonder if I’m ever going to get the concert tickets I won back in September. Probably not.

Anthony calling into Jethro's SoundOff and being able to see Travis' eyes roll through the radio we're always a highlight for me.

Grimes, IA
He called in all the time when on vacation to do the show. He also would have shows on holidays when they could've easily been off the air. Idk, seemed like something that was more than a hobby.

And seeing that Travis and Ross have a new show and it's starting Monday...Travis didn't tell anyone so that others didn't get in trouble. Obviously to have a graphic ready and launching Monday, this was in the works for a while. Good for them.

That had to be an interesting conversation between Travis and Sean after the show ended about Travis having this all lined up without telling Sean. Travis Sean and Ross are all good friends so that had to hurt a bit knowing those 2 were working behind the scenes on something and then have it dropped on him like that. I get not wanting to reveal it until today but at the very least I don't get what the harm would have been to tell Sean either before they went on air today or even during one of their breaks that he was leaving instead of dropping that on him while on air for him to process live like that.

Umm neither. I just don't understand the hate for something that doesn't affect your life. The more local shows the better, even CW has said this. You want there to be more Iowa State coverage or talk then support local. You can just turn to a different station. Also, why is it that if I defend Ross or Travis...I must be one of them? I enjoy their show and take it as entertainment for the morning. I don't take it seriously, it's a morning show. 2GNC must drive you nuts then or FART back in the day.

Just because you think something sucks, doesn’t mean it does. It brought exactly what I need in the morning and obviously must’ve had decent ratings over the years.

Plausible deniability. Plus, perhaps they'll bring Sean over soon enough given how KXNO has been going. I mean Murphy and Andy didn't wait long before bringing Downs back on.

This is ironic given your last hour worth of posts. Why defend a guy for an hour when it doesn’t affect you at all, unless it does.

And an unaffiliated Travis/Ross show is not going to benefit Iowa State in any way.

What can I say, I'm bored and I find people with this much hate for something that doesn't affect their lives in the least but dumbfounding. If you dislike it so much, why are you paying so much attention to it?

It’s news and I’d like to see KxNo succeed. The more this goes on, the more I think it’s going to die sooner rather than later.

More local (Omaha) programming please!

I know I've had actual interactions with Travis and Ross that I can base my feelings on. For others, it doesn't take much listening to establish opinions on either of these two. They're not knowledgeable about sports so they fill time with boobs, farts, and on air squeal laughing. It's painfully obvious how much Travis loves himself and his life while still living vicariously through Sean's love life. Ross has opinions that are factual and if yours go against his, he gets real angry and spins out pretty quick. This is true for sports, politics, religion, life.
