Mr. Cox

I'll prepare to duck a few punches after suggesting this, but what about a stadium in Millard? Â Could serve several purposes:

Nighthawks
Big games for UNO
Games between the three Millard Schools
State Championship Games (Memorial Stadium is WAY too big)

Mr. Cox

they might as well change the name 1620 the zone to 1620 the husker.

Husker talk pays the bills.

And in USC's defense, they do a LOT of national stories as well, but yes, the certainly cater to the Huskers.

Mr. Cox

Cowherd's ratings weren't very good and two hours of him is plenty. Â Schick actually has quite a good following and I think he's got some talent, we'll see how he pans out. Â I would certainly expect there to be a Bluejay skew on the show. Â Funny thing is, had Perrault not been so petty and juveni...

Mr. Cox

I haven't seen the demographic breakout for the last book so it's certainly possible. Â But when he says Z-92 is #1, he's not referring to Todd and Tyler, he's referring to Z-92's afternoon drive. Â 1620 and Z-92 usually go back-and-forth in the ratings between #1 and #2. Â It's possible that Matt's...

Mr. Cox

Matt did trail 1620 but he was in 3rd place in the ratings. Z-92 was 1st, then 1620, then Matt. You prove once again that you do not know what you are talking about. Â You continually throw s*** out there hoping people believe you. Â Apart from one book, which was an anomaly and was actually contes...

Mr. Cox

By the way, for those that don't think the ratings had anything to do with this, the Winter book just came out and KXSP is the second lowest radio station in the market, only ahead of recently relaunched KOIL. Â http://nebraskamediadiscussionforums.yuku.com/topic/4259/t/Omaha-Council-Bluffs-Winter-...

Mr. Cox

Amateur radio hour? I'm pretty sure he just got hired by a pretty darn good radio station that was up for the national sports station of the year award, sounds pretty darn good to me. He's going to a smaller market (#72 to #90 with a difference of a over 100K HH's) and he's going from his own show ...

Mr. Cox

Is Matt co-hosting?

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/articl ... 7/-1/ENT06

The late afternoon slot — from 4-7 p.m. — will retain Ken Miller, but negotiations for a co-host are continuing. McCrea said the goal is to have that show launched by April 27.

Mr. Cox

KXNO is the number 1 rated radio station in Des Moines for any category. Pretty good for a guy that got "fired" in Omaha. In any category but the one that matter--actual listeners. Â http://www1.arbitron.com/tlr/public/report.do It's the #13 radio station in Des Moines. But good for Matt.

Mr. Cox

Anyone who says that 1620's show is 100% Huskers has never listened to them. Â Much like anyone who says Perrault is all Bluejay love and Husker hate has probably never listened to him.

I find it hard to believe Perrault was going to decrease his pay by 2/3 instead of looking for a job elsewhere.

Mr. Cox

I have posted on here and its been posted on several boards that its not a ratings thing. Your opinion. If Matt were hosting a top-5 show, he's not going anywhere. Â The one time he had a good book was an anomaly (proven by previous and subsequent books) and people in the media know how it happened...

Mr. Cox

Your opinion!

It's apparent that it's a bit more than just opinion.

Mr. Cox

Just to reiterate, Matt's show didn't fail because he didn't praise the Huskers every segment. Â Matt's show failed because it just wasn't a very good show.

Mr. Cox

Brad, 1620's afternoon drive show, Usportsmanlike Conduct, is #1 in men for that time-slot. Â It's killing in the ratings. Â I think Matt's show had a hard time breaking the top 10 for men in his timeslot. Â I'm not a huge fan of 1620, but they actually do focus attention on the NFL, MLB, and even t...

Mr. Cox

Actually, DMB came to the Civic of all places 10-12 years ago.

Mr. Cox

430,000 residences

????

I think you mean residents. Â There aren't even half that number of residences in Omaha.

Mr. Cox

However, without a new stadium, there is zero chance of a long-term commitment from the NCAA, which is really what the city is striving for. If you believe Sokol, Fahey walked away from a 10-year commitment from the NCAA with only $26M in improvements to Rosenblatt. Â Fahey is, of course, denying t...

Mr. Cox

I wish the CWS would stop being thrown around by everyone as if that were the real reason we're building a new stadium. Â The CWS never asked for one and never said they wouldn't be happy staying at Rosenblatt. Â Listen to Fahey's press conference, the CWS wasn't involved. Â There was no threat of l...

I think this is the wish list. Â Thought the sources are Mayor Fahey and the Architecture Firm working on the project. Â I'm with Omababe. Â We need to hear these things from the NCAA.

Mr. Cox

Unless you count the several thousand or so people that live downtown as a community. That's not what he's talking about. Â The thought is that if a new ballpark is built downtown, the event will become MUCH more corporate than it is currently. Â I tend to agree. If a ballpark can be built without ...

Mr. Cox

I'm also not for keeping Rosenblatt based on Nostalgic reason. Â I'm not for it because I don't want to pay for it, especially when I don't think it's necessary.

Mr. Cox

I'm fully aware of the Indianapolis story, though I'm not fully convinced they are heavily courting the NCAA. I think it would be disastrous for both the NCAA as well as the host city if it were moved. Â You can't count the number of local teenage girls who attend, not because they like baseball, bu...

Mr. Cox

I'm dreading a new stadium in North Downtown. Â Just not a good idea. Â And the CWS doesn't care what the stadium looks like--they just care that it's full. Â They have the Volleyball Finals here because of the Qwest Center, they had it here because the Qwest Center would be full. There's NO WAY the...

Mr. Cox

Anyone know what happened to this? Â I thought the building that had been under construction right next to the Star Cinema was going to be their location. Â But now it looks like it's up for sale. http://www.heartlandproperties.com/details.asp?mls=7002442 Did they pull out, or was I wrong about thei...

Mr. Cox

There was a want-ad in yesterday's OWH for this pizza chain out of Wichita. Â It listed Wichita, Kansas City, Omaha, and Lincoln as markets. Â Any idea about this place and where it will end up?

Mr. Cox

I don't know. Â It seems a little close to Twin Creek, which isn't all that busy either.

Mr. Cox

I believe Greg was the highest paid anchor in the metro. Â They used a hefty salary to lure him away from the KETV sports desk.

Mr. Cox

The Days Inn in Bellevue has it on their placard that they will break ground for their indoor water park on March 1st.

Mr. Cox

It's on 108th, between L and Q, next to Valentino's.

Mr. Cox

The reason the channels exist in the first place is because the various cities/communities requested channels as part of the franchise agreement. Â Cox would like to use these channels for something else--something that would actually be watched. Â It would be ideal if the channels were consolidated...

Mr. Cox

Guys, there are only eight ESPN Zones in the country. Â Anaheim, Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, New York, and Washington D.C. I don't see Omaha quite fitting in with that group. Â Wouldn't they rather have one in places like Dallas, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Seattle, Miami, etc. before ...

Mr. Cox

The owner closed his former restaurant, Das Rheinland, in the Old Market. Â Das Rheinland is being replaced by a new sports bar, The Stadium Club, owned by the same guy that owns Scott St. Pub in CB.

Mr. Cox

Moe's closing did happen kind of suddenly. Â There was a note on their door advising people of the closure and directing them to "join us at our Bellevue location." Â

Sakura Bana is planning on moving around the 1st of June.

Mr. Cox

Tony, the owner of Sakura Bana (formerly Sushi Ichiban) on 84th and Dodge, says he is moving to the spot vacated my Moe's on 76th and Dodge, next to Indigo Joe's. Â I wonder what this will do to the Season Buffet.

Mr. Cox

http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/attendance?year=2006 Here's the average home attendance for the NHL. Â So even if we sold out the QWEST Center every night, we'd still only be 14th in attendance. Â It's a tough sell. Â Personally, I think Omahans would get behind an NHL franchise. Â We're definitely a...

Mr. Cox

The BOB was terrible. Â I can't even describe the format--it was just weird. Â I never understood why they got rid of The City. Â That was the best radio station I had ever heard...until they hired Big Party to the mornings. Â Oh well, back to Sirius.
