The mothership connects every weeknight from 6p-11p, but have you ever felt like 25 hours per week of D.A. was just not enough?
Yeah, me neither. But the good guys at PatsFan.com and Boston Sports: Then and Now apparently have.
Joe Gill, the sinister mastermind behind Blogapalooza earlier this month,threw some questions at me about the early years of the D.A. show and all four local sports teams.
JG: Where can I download your Dre/Snoop Dogg DA show intro mix? It is sick!
DA: Haha! We get requests for our intros mixes all the time. We are working on putting them all on a podcast page so that everyone can listen to them all the time. We will let ya know!
And Russell Goldman for Pats Confidential asked me to discuss the incarnations of the show from KC-to-Miami-to-Boston while analyzing Pats fans.
“You came to work weeknights at 98.5 The Sports Hub in August of 2009. I am curious what was the initial difference between working in Miami and coming to Boston?
The passion, the intensity and the attention on all four teams. In Miami, you talk 80% of the time Dolphins, 15% of the time Heat and 5% Marlins. A block of all of those topics has to do with why no one is going to the games. As a comparison, combined ratings for two sports stations per daypart was about 20% of what it is here. There is no regional sports cable outlets with a full docket of local shows. Here there are two. There, most sports media was totally invisible in the public eye. Here, I got recognized around town almost as soon as we launched. It is just a different beast. It is terrific. I love it.
You got questions? We got answers.
