Sports Radio Giant 1310 The Ticket Celebrates 30 Years in North Texas

Long before ESPN turned into debate-all-day television, The Ticket developed a rebellious us-against-the-world type of radio that felt more like freeform pirate programming than it did something strictly formatted by a large corporation. Many of the station’s youngest staff members even lived together in a frat house-type environment. Sure, sports was the primary focus from the start, but there was plenty of “guy stuff” banter regarding news and pop culture that would never dare be uttered on just about any other sports station in the country.
