They should have stayed ESPN.

Whenever XL gives up, NDE needs to snatch up Dan Patrick. Sheeman and Washington aren't exactly must-listen.

Actually, the best time to listen to the radio is when you're cleaning: garage, house, yard, pulling weeds. We-uns is ALL hillbillies in Indy! Yup - sho nuf!!!

Isn't there a time spent listening statistic? How long do people listen to JMV versus those two idiots? Nothing like two dudes who don't really know local sports telling us about local sports. They couldn't name the last time they were even in a high school gym on a Friday night in December to watch someone who wasn't a top 100 player. 1070 doesn't have a clue what local listeners want, if it wasn't for Mike and Mike their ratings would suck overall.

The rest of us have satellite, Ipods and Iphones.

According to winter Arbitron statistics released Monday, Emmis Communications property WFNI edged Clear Channel's WNDE among listeners ages 12 and older. WFNI attracted 2,300 listeners per average 15-minute segment, while WNDE attracted 2,000. WNDE can claim bragging rights in the afternoon, however, where its local host, John "JMV" Michael, posted bigger numbers than WFNI's team of Eddie White and Star columnist Bob Kravitz. Michael's show attracted 4,700 listeners per average 15-minute segment between 3 and 7 p.m. weekdays. WFNI attracted 3,700 during the same time period. The White and Kravitz show airs from 3 to 6 p.m., followed by a variety of programming. "We're incredibly enthusiastic about JMV's showing," said Buzz Casey, operations manager for Clear Channel in Indianapolis. Emmis vice president and general manager Tom Severino said he anticipates more dueling between the stations in coming months. "I think we've created a better sports market than existed prior to Jan. 7," said Severino, noting the day WFNI debuted. The AM dial's third sports station, WXLW-AM (950) failed to collect enough mentions in written Arbitron diaries to be listed in the winter ratings.
