If you trust Basilio over Barnes and/or his staff........ When was the last time Basilio let facts get in the way of his story or agenda?

Does Basilio still have a show? I thought he had run out of radio stations in the Knoxville area?

It's that kind of blind affinity, in either direction, that will cause people to look like fools.

2 years ago, if you had said, "If you trust Basilio over Pruitt and/or his staff........", you'd have looked like a fool when Basilio broke the story a year ago about his office being raided and the NCAA snooping around.

You don't always have to choose one side of the fence and stay there come hell or high water. There is a middle ground to be found.

If you are comparing Pruitt to Barnes in coaching, trustworthiness or integrity, then your argument is flawed. Basilio's track record speaks for itself and that's why I side with Barnes and his staff.

Dont get me wrong. TB's shows were mildly entertaining.....kinda like sitting on a bench at Dollywood and watching the folks walk by. But, there is a reason why he doesn't get press credentials to UT press events and why he has rented time and been cancelled on every low budget radio station in the Knox County area.

Basilio hasn’t been a radio group employee for 10 or 15 years. He is independent and currently sells (or trades for slots/spots) his feed to a low powered urban AM/FM. His business model before COVID was to do frequent remotes. He still doesn’t rely on ratings. He retains advertisers by sending a few hundred loyal disciples directly to the businesses that advertise with him. He probably does that (remotes) better than State Run Radio but it’s a disproportionate mix of watch parties at bars. The Sports Animal has a business model based on traditional ad sales. The remote broadcasts at WNML are thrown in with larger on air schedules that are sold.

He was at South Central Radio. They had the first or second highest budget in the market.

I appreciate this info. However, when he was on the air, the same dozen callers or so called every day at about the same time. Your estimate of "several hundred loyal listeners" seems to be a little inflated. Is he still on the air and if so, when and where?

11-1 M-F on James Brown’s old AM frequency. WJBE, 99.7 and 1040. But his streaming audience reach is probably greater.

There are dozens of callers. There are a couple hundred listeners that will show up at his watch parties. Usually at Copper Cellar owned venues although there are a couple of smaller food/drink establishments that see the immediate effect as well.

I think that Basilio has about 10,000 listen to his stream after football games. But that is hard to monetize because a large percentage are not local, but his client base buying the advertising is almost exclusively local.

In Basilio’s first hour his competition is Ainge. It’s Heather in the 2nd hour. Plus the kids at Fanrun/Fox Sports/WKGN 1340/105.7
