It was one segment.
It hasn't been just one segment, throughout the past few weeks, you can see a clear transition especially from the morning show guys, that they are running out of stuff to talk about. Transition it to just a talk show, and move on. Quit promoting it as solely sports, even though that's why most are listening because of that.
It's not that I'm upset that they are doing things outside of sports, it's that it's turning a listener off because it's become stuff outside of sports and still being promoted as your home for sports talk. The last thing I want is for it to become another DVE, which is obvious at points they want to copy the format(which is successful), but in no way can it sustain an all sports network like that.

Maybe it's because there is little to talk about in sports right now?
I listen all day at work and don't notice any transition. I notice a few off-topic conversations and discussions on occasion, but nothing that leads me to believe they're heading away from their initial plan.
Yeah, sports talk is real dry right now. It should pick up next week with college football starting up and NFL pre-season winding down (final roster moves).
I'm completely confused with who is supposed to be hosting each show. What happened to Gianotti at 6pm? Where has JB been on the morning show? Is Gianotti now an official part of the morning show? And what happened to that train wreck Kalena Bell?

Bell = fired
Burton = now does news 6-10 (like Bell once did) and is some special Steelers reporter
Gianotti = moved to mornings
Flilliponi - moved to Gianotti's old spot (6-10)
Chris Mueller - moved to Filliponi's old spot (10-2)

But Stiller Training Camp is the bestest, most excitingest sports time of the year!

this morning on the way to work:
they played the retarded dead or canadian game
talked to lilly
read a tweet
all of which is retarded
that show sucks
I only caught gianotti complaining about the qb reps...he has adamantly pronounced that byron leftwich should be getting all of the preseason first team snaps.
I'm not saying he's wrong...but it's a meaningless debate and i don't give a ****.

Linneli is a nice guy, but he's just kind of boring. Kenny the kangaroo feels bad when listening to Linneli because you can almost feel the fact that no one else is listening.

What are CC's plans for Steelers season? No sports talk on 104.7 right?
So...just boring Bendell and Steelers insiders on that horribly weak 970 signal?
Madden and what they seem to consider a sports oriented morning show on the X.
