KETV wins 10 o’clock in May

In the May 2007 local TV ratings period, KETV-7 and WOWT-6 were neck and neck with viewers ages 25-54 for their 10 p.m. weekday newscasts. A year later, KETV has taken the No. 1 spot in that advertiser-coveted demographic of adult TV viewers.

In the May 2008 report from Nielsen Media Research, KETV had a 33 percent share of TV viewers for its 10 p.m. newscast, which was up from 26 percent last year. WOWT had a 23 percent share this May at 10 p.m., which was down from 28 percent in May 2007.

Meanwhile, KMTV-3’s 10 p.m. newscast dropped from a 10 percent share of viewers ages 25 to 54 at 10 p.m. in May 2007, to 9 percent this year.

  1. And still nobody cares about Matt Perrault's show OR his sexuality (or lack thereof)...

    ReplyDelete
  2. Matt Perrault is Gay

    ReplyDelete
  3. Wow. I dare say WOWT is taking a good hard thumping.

    I hope they don't think the answer is more John Knicely.

  4. More Jamie McCutcheon, smokin' hot.

  5. These idiots they interview on the news astound me.

    Although to give the news agencies some slack, the intelligent potential interviewees were still at work when this happened.

    ReplyDelete
  6. congrats to ketv & all of its employees. i'm glad viewers are finally to see who to turn to for news (and weather!).

    ReplyDelete
  7. KETV announced tonight's fatalities in Council Bluffs at least 30 minutes before Action 3rd (or 4th) did. Carlo read it from a CB police press release. Way to get that "Breaking News" from an emailed press release. They should change their catch phrase to "We're there when that press release email comes in!!"

    ReplyDelete
  8. I live out of town and I was watching KMTV and WOWT's coverage on line. I saw the news of the fatalities on omaha.com first, and it seemed quite awhile before I heard it on WOWT or KMTV. Meteorologist Andrea Rich tried hard, but seemed to just not cut it.

    ReplyDelete
  9. KMTV has a fantastic morning show and that's about it. Carlo and Carol just don't cut it. Travis sucks too.

    I still can't stand Nicely. His eyebrows creep me out.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I am currently watching Channel Six's replay of their 10 O'Clock news. The lead news story has the heading: "Storm Coverage: Clounds & Winds Move In." What the fuck is "clound?"

    ReplyDelete
  11. "Clounds" is a copewrited fraze from Chefe Parking Meter Urologist Jim Flours...hte "Whether athoritee"

    Sincerely

    Matt Perrault

    ReplyDelete
  12. Send in the clounds!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I loved how, two hours after the storm had passed and power was still out, WOWT was telling viewers that if they come to an intersection where the street lights were out to just treat it like a 4 way stop.

    I'm here to tell you. Traffic was backed up for at least 10 miles because people were stuck at the 4 way stop paralyzed with fear, not knowing what to do. And suddenly somebody shouted from their front door: "WOWT has found the solution: Treat it as a four way stop!!"

    Wild cheers and gasps of gratitude were heard for miles around.

    ReplyDelete
  14. KE's share, is up. But what about total viewers? Maybe the share is up because the other three are losing viewers -- viewers who are just giving up on local news.

    ReplyDelete
  15. 10:09---you so funny !

    ReplyDelete
  16. Every one I talk to says they dont Watch WOWT any more since they switched to the HOUR bY HOUR Weather Format and because Jim Flowers is never there when you need him. Also they no longer have local doplar Radar, they also seem to use the NOAA radar, the one everyone can see on the web. There weather is soooo out dated now. Yes Weather does plan a role is the ratings. They need to hire better 2nd string weathercasters and buy a new radar.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The Doppler radar WOWT uses isn't any better than what the NWS utilizes. KETV and others also feed in from Valley. It's a common practice since:

    1) It allows the meteorologists to piss us off with many maps of the same data interpreted in different colors to the full extent.

    2) They don't have to mess with changing the radar elevation.

    3) It's cheaper.

    4) What's the point of having two radars?
    -----------
    10:09

    Yeah, drivers are idiots. I'm not bitching, but I didn't see any traffic control at the larger intersections last night or today.

    ReplyDelete
  18. KETV weather people were at 156 and Maple HyVee today on their day off, programming weather radios. They also had a bunch of local meteorologists too. The customer lines were out the door for a long time and everyone was working very hard. That is some dedication to public service and good publicity. I think they have done this 3 or 4 times this year so far.

    ReplyDelete
  19. 3:57

    That's great for KETV to be out doing that for the public. You can be cynical and say they are doing it because they have a lot of momentum behind them since being the first on air during the tornado. However, it's more than that.

    The public (including me) are finally waking up to how we need to take the weather seriously.

    Hopefully these helpful events continue.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Those storms sure did blow...just like the rest of Omaha radio, except for me of course.

    Sincerely,

    The Perrault

    ReplyDelete
  21. You've already blown, Perrault -- Travis said you bite too hard, though...left teeth marks all over his wee-wee.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Time for THE PERRAULT to do another transparent "make me look better" fund drive this week for victims of the storm........when he really was probably pissed because the storm coverage cut into his show and his "loyal" listener could not hear him for the rest of the show.....

    ReplyDelete
  23. I heard 600-some people came to get weather radios at HyVee. And yeah, it works well with their good momentum from Chuck's coverage of the Millard tornado, but I'm pretty sure they had the partnership with HyVee and weather radio days planned before that storm hit.

    ReplyDelete
  24. well, i stopped watching KETV when they got into a bickering battle with Cox over HD. I wonder if more people came back to watch their news like me when they put HD back on Cox.

    ReplyDelete
  25. @ 9:59 PM...KETV and Hy-Vee actually did this last year, too. I remember Bill Randby being at the 79th and Cass Hy-Vee in the Spring, 2007.

    Not sure if they did as many appearances last year as they are doing this year, but I can verify that they at least did that one last year.

    ReplyDelete
  26. 8:55 -- loyal listener? You mean Matt's check actually cleared the bank???

    Wonder how big a loan he had to take from his mommy to get that done...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Have you seen the Channel Six commercial that has the siren going and showing storm damage? Very comforting. Talk about sensationalism...

    ReplyDelete
  28. After the tornado a month ago, there is somebody who still watches WOWT for the weather???

    Get with the program...

    ReplyDelete
  29. 12:48, they didn't know that the cool kids have moved on.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh ! I forgot to ask if anyone else had the pleasure of seeing that the final episode of REMIX is tonight !?!?!?

    ReplyDelete
  31. is KETV-7 the only station whose image of the radar actually changes as it sweeps across the screen?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Who is the "MILF-IEST" female car dealership spokesman in Omaha? I'm kinda partial to the Honda Cars lady. And yes, they all advertise on the local news, so why not argue over this as well? I'd like to sweep across her screen, if you know what I mean.

    ReplyDelete
  33. All the stations suck. They are all about the tabloid news and don't care about the facts. Dave Weber couldn't even make a living as a paperboy or grocery bagger.
    Nicely should stick to being a little league coach or something. He doesn't even pay the full amount of taxes on his house.

    ReplyDelete
  34. 2:42 -- without a doubt, hands down it's Veronica Todd. There is no argument for another choice...she is the runaway MILFiest sales chick in Omaha car commercials.

    ReplyDelete
  35. THANK GOD the weather coverage did not interrupt a Creighton basketball game for Matty's sake (like the Westroad's shooting coverage did....)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Bredow is a Godess.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Is Honda cars lady the one with long dark hair ? If so then I'm gonna have to agree, if I were a MILF-Hunter I'd target her.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Congrats to channel 7. It shows what intelligent investment can do when you don't suck every cent of revenue out of a property.
    Good leadership also wears well...the Julie-to-Brandi transition is being handled beautifully.
    Keep up the good work

    ReplyDelete
  39. oh no.. who is the blonde (not todd) that does the commercials.. i would buy anything from her... even a STD!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Seems like the station formerly known as WOWT is using a new cheaper source for its weather coverage: its remaining viewers. Ted Brockman notes this on his blog at his Omaha TV news site.

    ReplyDelete
  41. 8:04 - are you talking about the Woodhouse chick? She's not bad either -- but I'd still take Veronica Todd.

    ReplyDelete
  42. 8:06 - Thanks for the self-promotion, Ted. One trick ponies get boring awfully quick.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Did anyone else watch the swimming event last night? They were interviewing Phelps after his world record win and they had the full body shot of him with Andrea Kramer. My screen looked fuzzy near the bottom and I asked my wife if she saw it as well. I looked closer and, sure enough, they were pixilizing the naughty parts (or near them) on him.

    I was wondering why Andrea was drolling. Now we now. The fully monty was there for the world to see (pixilized). I wonder if the FCC will hammer NBC for this wardrobe malfuntion.

    ReplyDelete
  44. 9:29 -- Uh, Ben? If Ted had put that up there he would have ID'd himself as such. It most likely was put up by one of his readers...in fact, I KNOW it was, because it was I who posted it.

    Next time you want to publicly stick your head up your arse, make sure to use a good lubricant BEFORE insertion...

    ReplyDelete
  45. I hoped you all liked my weather promo with the sirens blowing! A storm was happening, and we were on the air! We are all over weather when it happens before 10:00! That Millard tornado is a distant memory now. I'm glad all is forgiven and you all have recognized us again as THE WEATHER AUTHORITY! KPTM's no hype weather, that's cute Tyson, that's just a clever way of saying you suck! As we like to say here at WOWT, ALL HYPE, ALL THE TIME. And how about that HOUR BY HOUR forecast? Don't worry about the fact that we were predicting rain in the morning. It's HOUR BY HOUR. Who's your weather daddy????

    ReplyDelete
  46. Jim Flowers -- the Matt Perrault of meterology.

    And, no, Jim...that is NOT a compliment.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I heard Tool-Shed Tom Park got blown back down to Arkansas by the storm.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Uh, Ted, I mean 9:41, thanks for narrowing it down to someone who has the name Anonymous. I'm sure Ted, when he dismounts from his one-trick pony of blasting 6 (not that don't mostly deserve it), isn't capable of posting under the name Anonymous. I'd just like to hear him rant about someone or something other than 6.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I don't care what you guys say. I like the hour-by-hour forecast. Now I can count on the forecast being f-ed up 24 times a day.

    ReplyDelete
  50. @ 11:04....um...how is Ted's ranting about 6 different from, say, all the other ranting about 6?

    Did you not even read the posts above you?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Scuse me, but do any of you have the video of the unpixeled Michael Phelps? I need it for my...ummm...blog. Yeah, thats the ticket.

    Sincerely,

    The Perrault

    ReplyDelete
  52. I looked at a couple Scions this weekend. The assclown salesman calls me today saying he could give me "the best deal" since it's the end of the month.

    Problem is that they MSRP those cars $950 above "invoice." That means they can't move on price.

    Maybe the great deal was a dropped doc fee.

    On another note, I kind of have a thing for the Woodhouse girl.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yes, those are noticed here, but there's also lots of other topics covered in posts and the blogs, and there are threads about other things than 6. More Tom Park cracks and Perrault riffs are always appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Tom Park was just spotted at Dr. Johns...


    -Perrault

    ReplyDelete
  55. Perrault,

    Are you STILL modeling ladies' lingerie at Dr. John's during your off hours???

    ReplyDelete
  56. The Woodhouse girl ...really ? Wow. She makes me get the heebie jeebies down my back when she talks, like the nails on a chalkboard kind.

    Jesse-I used to sell cars. The dude is lying about that (shocker I know), they can get you a good deal any damn time they want to, and even if it's REALLY 950 above, then they have more than enough wiggle room still.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'll keep that in mind.

    On another note, who's telling drivers that flashing yellow lights = 4 way stop?

    I was about murdered on 120th and Westwood Ln. coming home from work. The car in the other southbound lane stopped when the light was flashing yellow. I kept on going since, you know, I had the right of way and sure enough the car turning left in the Northbound lane turned in front of me.

    They were doing that all day Saturday too.

    Morons.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Honda lady is cute, though there's not a lot to choose from. The lady at Woodhouse is nice, too. Remember when Carol Scott did that boat commercial in her bikini? I had to go...

    ReplyDelete
  59. Ted Brockman is like the Zodiac killer in California in the 70s and BTK in Wichita a few years ago. Eventually, he comes out (not that he kills people though). I knew he'd be back. He loooves the spotlight. I like him, though, because he doesn't kill people. Same mindset, though.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Isn't KM3 losing viewers akin to a tree losing leaves in February?

    ReplyDelete
  61. FYI, I'm pounding almost exclusively on SuxNews because no other station has so loudly proclaimed its own virtues while delivering one of the laziest, most formulaic (not to mention idiotic) newscasts around.

    They cockily assumed that they could trot out speech-impeded morons like Jimmy Thiedlecki and empty suits like J-Pa and we'd all just keep tuning in. Their total impotence during the Millard tornado revealed the emptiness of their arrogant boasts.

    Now it appears that even the casual viewer is catching on. It's about time.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Thank God for Marla Rabe. Saw her this morning on First News. Elictia is gone!!!! Hopefully Marla will become permanent on First News.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Maybe Elictia's husband can get her to pump out another set of twins and make her departure permanent.

    Marla Rabe is a FINE substitution....mmmmm, tasty.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Elictia's last day was Monday. She said on air that she wants to stay home with the twins and will probably work at her husbands church.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I agree, Jess--the Woodhouse spokeswoman is the last person they should have hired. Her voice sounds like she should be greeting kids at Disney World, not selling cars. She's gotta be related to the owner--there's no other explanation.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Thanks Ted. I agree with most of your observations. I'd just like to see you bust some onions at the other outlets - Fubar, Affirmative Action News, et al.

    I do understand that what's presented at "Sux" is like shooting fish in a barrel. Even commentary about the lameness of Perrault and his TV sidekick would be fun to read. But it's also tough to pass on the cigar store indian and his improv skills.

    ReplyDelete
  67. 6:02--I'm pretty sure she is, just can't remember the exacts on how.

    Ben--Perrault bashing is sorta fish in a barrel too isn't it ? lol

    ReplyDelete
  68. This month's goal:

    How to get Fubar fired.

    Hmmm....brainstorming ideas welcome!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think the Woodhouse chick is the owner's daughter. She's a bit plump but's I'd hit it.

    Marla Rabe is hotter than a two dollar pistol.

    Elticia is gone and the world rejoices.

    ReplyDelete
  70. She should do a commercial in the overalls like the old man did. Country mile north of Omaha...

    ReplyDelete
  71. 7:25, I think you're onto something there ! That'd be cute and corny. Car commercials are supposed to be that way, unless you happen to be an old guy and his twin sons then it's not.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Marla Rabe and Veronica Todd together would be VERRRRY tasty...

    ReplyDelete
  73. Marla Rabbe and Amanda Mueller together would be even more tasty...and I'm not talking about on the news ,either.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I saw Marla up close and the closer you get the scarier it is. Too skinny and she looks like she used to live in a tanning bed!

    I'm still partial to Maddox and Stowell!

    ReplyDelete
  75. 10:45...Marla can tan on my bed anytime

    ReplyDelete
  76. 7:09 You're right she's not a skinny minnie, but after poopin' out a truck load of kids (courtesy christmas special woodhouse commercial of her family), I'd look chunkier too.

    As for the old geezer that wore the overalls, i think he's pushing daisies.

    ReplyDelete
  77. 12:23, next time I feel chunky I'm gonna tell myself it's ok since I pooped out a truckload of kids lol.

    And, yeah he's gone but he was an adorable old coot. The overalls would be a cute touch---not his of course that'd be gross but ya know if the chick had her own.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Veronica Todd in overalls???

    Whooooo....think I need a moment to gather my thoughts...

    ReplyDelete
  79. Anyone visualize J.J. Davis as a car salesman? How about Perrault in overalls - tasty and pasty.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I envision Matt Perrault behind the counter at Arby's -- it's a job that best suits his qualifications.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I see him as a sewer treatment plant worker, after all he is used to the product. It spews out of his mouth every day.

    ReplyDelete
  82. 7's Carol Schrader...err Julie Randby yesterday at 5PM told us of the hospitalization of 2 persons overcome by carbon DIOXIDE poisoning at a Benson area Tavern. She made the gaff twice in the same story. Is she reading that????? Is she not bright enough to catch that error after the first time and correct it before she READS it again? I guess I expected more from the news readers....

    ReplyDelete
  83. Stage performer at the Tool Shed?

    ReplyDelete
  84. 7:00 am --

    The leak was from a pop dispenser in the basement -- so the carbon dioxide reference was correct. Hint -- that's what makes the bubbles and fizz in soda!!

  91. I just flushed a Perrault that looked like a well rope. It always feels good to get that Perrault out of my system.

    ReplyDelete
  92. TT -- Oh yeah, that chick in Mercury commercial is SINFULLY hot...

    ReplyDelete
  93. Can anyone expand on the ratings? When will KM fold? Do the folks at Urinal Broadcasting now realize what a huge mistake it was to let go of Deb Ward and Greg Peterson.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Just think, their ratings could be better if their aired more wrestling.

    ReplyDelete
  95. you can get a 1 in the ratings and be profitable. many local advertisers only by local. no folding by anybody, I'm sure. EXCEPT by me when that mercury chick shows up, buns up and kneeling. i was wheeling and dealing.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Anyone hear Carlo is leaving KM3rd?

    ReplyDelete
  97. If the Carlo rumor is true, maybe Vampira (I mean Carol)could just introduce cheesy horror movies and forget about the news. The ratings may even improve!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I haven't heard a thing, but lets start the rumor mill anyway!

    Carlos is fed up with Nebraska and accepts Main Anchor gig in Sioux City!!

    ReplyDelete
  99. The ratings would improve if Kerri Stowell was the main anchor. And for the love of God, put Chriss Knight on the anchor desk on the weekends. Two very striking women work there. They need to use it to their advantage.

    ReplyDelete
  100. 7:09 -- normally, leaving Omaha for Sux City would be the professional equivalent of falling down a flight of stairs. Leaving KM3rd for that dunghole, though, would at the least be a lateral move.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Isn't KM under a hiring freeze right now?

    ReplyDelete
  102. 7:19 -- I would move Mary Williams to the main anchor spot. She's been in Omaha the longest and people like her. Have Kerri anchor the morning and midday, and Chriss Knight anchor the weekends. Ratings would go up. But what do I know? I'm just an average Joe viewer who KM3 doesn't care about!

    ReplyDelete
  103. Kerri Stowell makes me feel good down below.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Ohhhh Kerri Stowell...those lips are perfect! I'm watching her while I can because she won't be in this small market for much longer.

    ReplyDelete
  105. From what I heard he's moving up , WAY up.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Hey Ted, Talk about falling ratings. Judging from the amount of comments nobody really cares what you write about.

  110. Word around newsrooms in town is Carlo is leaving for family reasons and KPTM's Taylor Wilson was approached to take over.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Normally, replacing Carlos with Taylor Wilson would be the professional equivalent of falling down a flight of stairs for KM3rd. But in this hick TV market, why not bring over Amanda as well!

  113. Who is going to be on KETV's 5A.M. News?

    ReplyDelete
  114. Channel 3 is so far in the gutter now, with so little credibility, that the only way they could even have a CHANCE to climb back into even a distant 3rd place position is to completely revamp not only the news product, but the entire station. This would include a total change of on-air staff, as well as a purging of their call letters and anything that would even remotely remind anyone that KMTV ever existed. Then start from scratch. Promote it as a brand new station in Omaha. Hold a retirement party for KMTV and an announcement of birth for the new call letters. Hell, if they could change their channel number, that would be all the better. In the process, JBG could invest in local HD equipment and they could debut as Omaha's first local HD station. If only.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I'd like to see 3 and 42 switch networks. Fox 3 News would be more fitting for the tabloid, in-your-face, yell-at-your-viewers format they use now. And CBS 42 might garner more viewers. After all, Wilson and Co. are so conservative that a more conservative network might be a good lead-in for their local product.

    ReplyDelete
  116. who do you think will have the first hd newscast in omaha? and are there any plans for the future or is that still way too far down the road?

    ReplyDelete
  117. It won't be WOWT, I am certain of that. That would require the slightest bit of ingenuity or risk. They will wait for KETV to do it and once it starts working great for KETV, then, and only then, will WOWT do it themselves. Then, of course, WOWT will promote the hell out of it to the point where they are practically claiming to have invented HDTV.

    ReplyDelete
  118. KETV will probably be the first station in Omaha with local programming in HD. Hearst-Argyle is the only company investing any money in Omaha stations. The very reason Channel 6 continues its downward spiral is because the struggling Gray Television isn't about to invest any extra money in its stations, particularly not Market #75 or smaller. WOWT used to have much deeper pockets. Those are days gone by.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Are any of the locals stations graphics HD ready? It looks like KETV's might with the new news graphic. I like it.

    ReplyDelete
  120. 1:00 AM, I have never read a more perfectly accurate description of the mentality of WOWT management.

    ReplyDelete
  121. KETV has been talking internally about HD for several years. There are plans in place including a new studio to replace the Newsplex.

    ReplyDelete
  122. at 10:01- you got to love ketv. they are always on top of things. do you know when they are planning to put things in motion? are these new graphics like a beginning?

    ReplyDelete
  123. I want Kerri Stowell's DSL's in High-Def

    ReplyDelete
  124. Channel 3's still on the air?

    ReplyDelete
  125. I love Kerri Stowell. I've always wondered why Action 3 only promotes Carol and Carlo but not Stowell and Mary Williams. I feel like Carol and Carlo are forced down our throats. They advertise the crap out of them on their radio stations. You can only sell crap for so long.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Action 3 News. News/talk WITH the sping!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I am 100 percent positive that KETV will have the first local HD newscast in the Omaha market. It is perfect. They haven't updated their news studio's since 1996. They currently are top dog in Omaha, completely dominating every other newscast in the region. They look good doing it. Hearst-Argyle obviously has some money and I doubt they are hesitant to use it on KETV. I have a feeling that around the new year, we will be seeing new studios and HD programing coming from that station. When KETV does go HD, other stations might want to sit back and watch the first broadcast for themselves.

    ReplyDelete
  128. DSL's hahahahahahahahaha

  129. I have little doubt the other stations are already watching KETV. That's how they decide where to go to in order to cover a big story, "That's where KETV is, send Knicely over there"

    Here is what I am really dying to know: Behind closed doors in their own homes, when the weather gets bad, what station do WOWT and KMTV employees turn to?

    ReplyDelete
  130. 7:37 -- that's easy...KETV.

    It's what Jim Flowers was watching when the Sunday morning storm blew through town. That's how he knew he had to haul ass to his job at WOWT...er, I mean...KFAB.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Seriously. I am beginning to wonder if WOWT doesn't troll other news outlets previous ideas and say, "Okay. That's a good one. Lets steal that one next"

    Story last night on WOWT:

    Story on ABC news September 2005:

    Not to mention, Good Morning America and 20/20 have RECENTLY (as in, within the last few months) re-done this "what would you do" theme of stories.
    Nice, WOWT, really nice...
    ...and INVENTIVE & ORIGINAL, too.

  133. The new voice of Tom Park on the radio ads for H&H Chevy isn't me at all.

    This does not please me.

    Oh, and quit accusing me of going to Dr. Johns for lunch when I'm in town filming.

  143. Matt

    You did not notify your boss Mr. Rasmussen from Creighton that you were going to be gone this week! His car is in dire need of a cleaning and shine (as well as his shoes!). There will be hell to pay when you get back.

    Sincerely,

    Mr. Rasmussen's secretary

    ReplyDelete
  144. Perrault tries way too hard to try and be a Jim Rome rehash. His interviewing skills are lackluster, he's three of the 10 biggest homers when it comes to Creighton and he seems to think the sports world revolves around the city of Boston, which people in the Midwest couldn't care less about. He's a Red Sox/Patriots parrot in a Royals/Chiefs market, and he doesn't get the fact that nobody gives a rat's hiney about Bahhhhston around here.

    He is the reason why 1620 The Zone is a much better place for an all-around discussion of the sports world. Better hosts, better discussions, better interviews -- The Zone is everything Matt Perrault COULD be...if only he were bright enough to leave his personal fandom outside the studio.

    Sincerely,

    DA TROOF

  145. More Travis, less Perrault.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Then explain why, Da Troof, if that is your real name, why I am number one in this market, why I am the most listened to sports talk show host in this city and why I am a radio god?

    I am Omaha radio. Deal with it.

    Without me, Creighton basketball wouldn't exist.

    Without me, Husker football is an afterthought.

    Without me, you would have no Boston talk except for that wannabe at the soon to be Lavista Royals games.

    Face it, women love me and men want to be me.

    I am hope and change.

    I am the voice of Omaha and beyond.

    I am...

    The Perrault

    ReplyDelete
  147. After yesterday's performance by Travis, there's no reason for Perrault to come back. We have a new king of sports talk radio in Omaha.

    Riveting discussions about his diet "how come no one would tell me I'm fat" - and moving vehicle violations of other Affirmative Action News employees. You can't spell Travis without ME.

    Looks like Perrault is finished. That was chart-topping stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Note to "the Perrault" -- since we're well aware it's not your REAL name...you are nothing without Omaha. Omaha owns you. Creighton has you in its back pocket. Nebraska keeps you at arm's length for a reason. Omaha tells you what to talk about, and yet you insist on defying those who pay your way through life.

    You are nothing but Omaha's BEYOTCH. And on this forum, it is I who you should bow down to. So get on your knees...

    You are johnny come lately to this party my friend. I have ruled this blog and now these air waves for some time now. The only one that should be on their knees is you praying that I allow you to continue to listen to my silky smooth words and to worship and adore my picture and my blog.

  156. Rome wannabee...er, er...Perrault -- I have been here much longer than you and lurk in the shadows. I know more about you than even you know. I know where you live. I know what you eat. I know what girls you fantasize about while "consuming" the internet porn you subscribe to (and, quite honestly...even you CAN do better).

    Your only hope is to not cross my saber, sunshine. You WILL get cut, and you WILL bleed profusely. You shall bow down to me if you want to keep your shaky reputation intact.

    You are mine. I own you.

  161. jess,

    don't waste your time on the video. "Matt" knows that I own him in all ways, and he lacks the required skills, talent and cajones to put up any kind of a meaningful fight.

    He is my BEEEEEYOTCH. Now and forevermore.

    Aht,

    DA TROOF

    ReplyDelete
  162. Thank you sleeves, I was wondering if that was still the case.

    ReplyDelete
  163. As you said, when you see that phrase that pays, it's time for a new blog.

    Had a chance to blast yet on the boner blog? It's fun to see how much progress everyone has made on Perrault-flogging. No one seemed to like him then, either.

    Maybe we could all go to Hooters tonight and play some Travia from 7-9 with The Perrault, if we're worthy to be in his presence.

    ReplyDelete
  164. None of you are worthy to be in my presence.

    Jesus, Buddah and the Dali freaking Lama have to beg to come to my dance parties if you know what I mean.

    P.S. Da Troof is really Da Poop.

    ReplyDelete
  165. Yeah I read it, thought it was pretty damn funny. Did he do that again this year ?

    If I were to make it to Hooters it'd just be for the wings. If I happened to see Perrault there, I'd totally ask for his autograph. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

    ReplyDelete
  166. The answer that will fix all of Perrault's ills is more Travis. Can't get enough Travis. We need to know more about his diet, more about moving violations of co-workers and what his opinions are on issues like pit bull bans, care for the elderly, zoo expansion and is bottled water really safe or not.

    Huh, what? Oh, really? Already tried that, was a bigger bomb that was dropped from the Enola Gay? Oh, uh, never mind.

    Okay, he and Schtick can go back to more talk about how bad their farts stink.

  167. I am such a god that they have named syndromes after me to wit:

    Perrault syndrome: An extraordinary genetic syndrome that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and affects both males and females but with a dramatic difference. Affected males and females both have moderate to severe deafness but only affected females have gonadal dysgenesis. They have streak gonads in place of their ovaries and they consequently have primary amenorrhea (never menstruate) and are infertile.

    See my power clones!

    ReplyDelete
  176. Okay, we've established that no one is lamer on the airwaves than The Perrault. We get it, he sucks. Only five minutes or less of listening gets that message across. If Omaha had a Waffle House, they'd be his number one sponsor.

    We really need to refocus this discussion to what Travis brings to the table. Without him, this show would be a complete failure. Without him, Channel 3 would fall to the bottom of the ratings with little hoping of overtaking the CW.

    Let's celebrate Travis and sing his praises. Come on, we need to be more positive out here, and there's no one more positive in this market than Travis.

    How about a game of Travis Travia? Let's see some questions and try to answer them, Jeopardy style. He's a good egg, he might even join us.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Ok so what you're saying is .....you like Travis ?

    ReplyDelete
  178. Well, at least we now know what name Travis uses when he posts here. Who else would suggest "a game of Travis Travia"?

    ReplyDelete
  179. craven - two things you need to understand:

    1. KM3 is ALREADY at the bottom of the ratings, in spite of Travis' nightly visits.

    2. A BAD day of Travis is INFINITELY better than a good day of Perrault.

    Perrault is my whipping boy, and every time he posts he further cements his place as my personal BEYOTCH. But don't worry -- I'll soon grow tired of slapping him around here and will turn him over to each of you to get your licks in, so to speak.

    C'MERE, PERRAULT, YA' LITTLE WHITE TRASH NOBODY...TIME FOR ANOTHER BEATIN'...

  181. Travis is seriously good. Professional, forward, to the point. I just can't understand how he aligns himself with someone like Perrault. Must have to because of the whole Journal thing.

    ReplyDelete
  182. When Journal cancelled his lame show in the morning, I let him come on to my show in order to let him soak in the glory of my show. I am a benevolent radio god and help those who cannot help themselves when I will it.

    I have ground rules:

    First the Big Show stars me and only me.

    Second, he may not disagree with me. I am always right, just ask me.

    Third, under no circumstances will Travia be played while I am behind the alumuminum encrusted mike.

    Fourth, if he has anymore children, the next one must be named after me.

    Fifth, no scooter talk, no nintendo olympics and no hockey talk are allowed.

    Sixth, he shalt not bring up my former girlfriend from Philly.

    These are my commandments. So sayeth The Perrault

    ReplyDelete
  183. The Perrault had a girlfriend???

    Gee...we always thought YOU were Tommy's "girlfriend", Perrault -- not the other way around.

    ReplyDelete
  194. So does anyone know (or care) why WOWT promotes itself as "6 News" sometimes, and "Channel 6 News" other times? I think they should call their newscast "The News on 6" like Tulsa Station KOTV does. That way, they can call their Cox Channel 1 "News on 6 on 1." Otherwise, make up your minds. 6 news or channel 6 news.
