And honestly if a “few hundred thousands” Flames fans tuned in, they’d have the biggest market share in the city.

I think Boomer knows his stuff just as much as most of the others on the station. His strength was understanding that good radio requires the ability to maintain conversation as opposed to droning on about the 3rd line in Stockton. It’s why the younger personalities on the station aren’t as good. They can blather about minutiae but struggle to hold a relatable conversation.
