August sports talk ratings look like July ratings, and June ratings …
The Nielsen numbers were released yesterday, and once again I’m at a loss. I briefly stopped covering the monthly numbers a year or so ago, mostly because I got bored.

4.0K51Damon Bruce rants against BASG, the internet and A’s fans (but mostly A’s fans)

Well, well, well. It looks like these here Radio Wars just got a little more interesting! Tuesday morning, our fearless leader sent shockwaves through the sports talk radio community (meh) and effectively brought Twitter to its knees in the process (not really) when he broke the news of a huge shakeup at 95.7 The Game.
