I’m The Most Followed Tri-Cities Sports Talk Show Host On Facebook
Whatever you think of Marky Billson, he’s the voice the Tri-Cities needs.
Thank you Tri-Cities!
Because as of this morning, not only am I the most followed sports talk radio host on Facebook in the Tri-Cities, but my radio station the most followed sports talk radio station in the market as well.
It’s not easy. Our competitors are on FM, or have a tower more centrally located to the population centers of the market than we do.
But I’ve overcome that in a variety of ways.
First, embracing online media. I am the only over-the-air host in the market that archives their show.
Then there’s the content I provide.
One of the things that bothered me about local sports talk historically is that it was milquetoast. Hosts were afraid to ask tough questions.
David Mullins helps take football away from ETSU? Champion him on mornings every week!
That’d be like Art Modell joining Mike Trivisonno every week. Incredibly, it happened here.
