SPORTSRADIO 1310 THE TICKET AND DALLAS COWBOYS END MEDIA PARTNERSHIP
Dallas - Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket-KTCK/93.3 The Bone-KDBN and the Dallas Cowboys announced today that they have ended their three-year partnership to carry the team's play by play broadcasts.
The agreement began in 2006 and has been a success for both parties. Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket will continue their award winning coverage of the Cowboys on and off the field.
"This was a successful partnership for Cumulus over the past three seasons, and we look forward to continuing to work with the Cowboys in the future outside of their play by play broadcasts." said The Ticket Vice President and Market Manager Dan Bennett.
On January 16th, 2009 The Ticket and The Dallas Stars announced a new 5 year broadcast right agreement that begins with the 2009/2010 season.
Sportsradio 1310 the Ticket, a live and local sports-talk station located in Dallas, Texas, guarantees big name guests and breaking sports news first. The Ticket can be found on the dial at 1310am and 104.1fm (as well as 1700 AM and 99.5-2 HD). 93.3 The Bone has been on the air since January of 2002 and in addition to providing the metroplex with great rock we are also committed to community involvement that is entertaining and informative.

The Ticket claims they had to end the deal due to financial issues. What's the real deal? Why would you pick up the Stars games and get rid of Cowboys?

$$$. From what I've read this came directly from Cumulus, not neccessarily from the Ticket. The Ticket's ratings increase on Sunday's was marginal and it didn't make sense to tie up 3 signals when Jerry gets most of the advertising revenue. If it was just on 1310 I bet they would have wanted to keep it but corp made the ultimate decision. 95.9 was an affiliate and had almost the same ratings as 1310/93.3 in the far western part of the metroplex because of 1310's signal limitations. The Stars are very cheap and low maintenance and The Ticket will probably make a lot more money off them than they will the Cowboys. 105.3/1080 will have the same profit issues but it will be good for the young all-sports station.
