krusty_rusty Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 if any station would air the races that would be great. I tried to get them on the radio here in Bryan-College stations but just got shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Nor enough demand, therefore not enough advertising support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krusty_rusty Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 thats pretty much the exact reply i got from the radio station along with a coupld of laughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckLicata Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Hey guys and gals, Thanks for the great idea....as TQ mentioned, the idea had already been thought of---myself and another Zone personality have hit up the station to bring in MRN to broadcast the race on the air. However, the needed interest isn't there right now, and yes Krusty---I got laughed at myself! Unfortunately, it's just not feasible right now...however, keep plugging at it. After all, I've been whining, pleading, begging for a motorsports radio show for 4 years---and we finally got one! So, anything is possible, it just may take a little time...

krusty_rusty Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 I'm not sure about all of the costs, but one thing you could look at would be getting a boombox that has the xm radio capabilities, and you could for sure get the races that way.

ChuckLicata Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Right on, Krusty... I know a few people who have XM radio...they love the NASCAR channel on there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Chuck, Maybe you could have someone record your "play-by-play" of the next TSRS race. Take it back and edit it down to say 30 -60 seconds and play it back on your radio show. Of course highlighting all the exciting action and condensing it into something that might fit on your show. Maybe a company might advertise on it. .... almost LIVE! Â Just a thought, Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbeaver087 Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 i gess if we start calling the radio station on a weekly basis we might be able to got the race on the air . the zone is for sports and racing is a sport . heck they even air the long horn games on kevt along with it on the zone . so i dont see why racing is ant differnt.

Beaver, I could not have said it any better myself, bro...This is exactly the premise that I proposed to the station 4 years ago, and the more calls we get--not only to the radio show, but to the station (ask for Chuck Meyer, the program director of the Zone)...the more they'll support the show... I guess this thread could/should be moved to the MZone show Forum, but I appreciate the support here, as do the show's sponsors... Just a note---this week's show is all about YOUR CALLS and NO GUESTS..so, feel free to call in and talk racing! Thanks, as always... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ups88john Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 like jim rome says, "Bang the Monkey". the monkey being the program director, and bang meaning keep buggin till you get it. Â big john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Great idea, it would be nice to find a station that covers the NASCAR races again, too. WBAP in D/FW used to but hasn't for years now, all they carry is the Texas race, providing that the Dallas Stars aren't having a playoff game. It would be nice to at least hear the race when travelling back on Sunday from "wherever". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard from the Houston "contingency" about the tape on the HMS race, and they say my announcing can be heard very well over the tape. Â So, I will leave the decision to them. If they think my announcing is worth airing, I'll get them to dub me a copy and air the end. And considering the AWESOME finish between JP and Ronnie New, it should be good!

krusty_rusty Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 all yall people in the austin area bang the monkey and maybe spread some of your luck this way so bryan college station could get races. Even though all of these ideas won't matter once football season starts, becuase their is no chance in hell that, any sports station would do nascar over the cowboys or the texans. Plus there are too many haters, out there that would whine and complain that racing is just going in circles and who would want to listen to that on the radio.
