Me too. Someone told me he is planning on starting his own podcast now. I hope he succeeds.

I hope 97.1 hires Sean. He can backfill Jim Costa's prior time slots.

It seems to me that Sean was on with Paul W in the morning before Paul's move to mid-day. I never really understood what his role was supposed to be. Whenever he would chime in on the conversation, it was brief.

On their entire roster, The Ticket has only 2 black hosts and one of them is overnights, I don't think replace Rico with a White guy is going to play well, especially when the afternoon show gets great ratings. Sean could end up on the air in Grand Rapids or Lansing again.

The Ticket really should find a place for Sean.

Agreed. Sean is actually a very good local sports talk show host, unlike the tiny one...Majik wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 8:08 amRico has nothing to do with the great ratings of the afternoon show.riggs wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 8:22 pmMWmetalhead wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 2:34 pmA Valenti - Baligian pairing would pique my interest.Matt wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 9:12 amHe could also replace Spartard afternoons and no tears will be shed.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 9:04 am Hosting a one hour daily show in a crappy time slot that is out of format to boot is not exactly a recipe for job security.
