• The Wikipedia:Verifiability policy states that Information on Wikipedia must be reliable. Facts, viewpoints, theories, and arguments may only be included in articles if they have already been published by reliable and reputable sources. Articles should cite these sources whenever possible. Any unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

The article for Wikipedia:Reliable_sources says A primary source is a document or person providing direct evidence of a certain state of affairs; in other words, a source very close to the situation you are writing about. The term most often refers to a document produced by a participant in an event or an observer of that event. It could be an official report, an original letter, a media account by a journalist who actually observed the event, or an autobiography. Statistics compiled by an authoritative agency are considered primary sources. In general, Wikipedia articles should not depend on primary sources but rather on reliable secondary sources who have made careful use of the primary-source material. Most primary-source material requires training to use correctly, especially on historical topics. Wikipedia articles may use primary sources only if they have been published by a reliable publisher e.g. trial transcripts published by a court stenographer, or historic documents that appear in edited collections. We may not use primary sources whose information has not been made available by a reliable publisher. See Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability

With these policies in mind, the unreferenced quotes and events must be removed. JohnM4402 03:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

• Also, I'd like to share a comment MartinRe made on my talk page. "As to using audio archives as a source, I would agree that they are a verifiable source (although dates would be required, just like references to publications on paper), however, I would not regarded them as a reliable source, and would perfer secondary sources, especially when referring to living people, as per WP:BLP. Also, it should be noted that analysis of the primary source (i.e. the radio program) rather than direct reporting, would be classed as original research, which is not accepted at wikipedia.

Dan McDowell

The only notable/reliable information from this page was: "Dan McDowell is a three time nominee for "Sports Radio Personality Of The Year" by High Times" -- which I have serious doubts about, since it was uncited, and sounds like a joke based on the cannabis running joke in the article. I've copied it here, just in case. - Motor (talk) 19:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Article Cleanup

I briefly went through and made some minor wording changes. This article is somewhat inconsistent in its lists and wording, but I figured that it would be better for everyone to agree on how to proceed, rather than have me just tear off in my own direction. I did move the shows out of the summary area because that information just didn't seem to make sense with the summary's historical perspective.

It seems like reference one (in the summary) is broken, and the link under the References section seems to go to a totally unrelated article about radio ratings in the DFW sports market. Along similar lines, it might be worthwhile to consider adding The Ticket's MySpace profile to the list of external links. Personal opinions aside, it is a pretty useful medium for getting information about the station and the events it sponsors.

Finally, the Notable Personalities of the Past section is particularly confusing to me. I'm not sure what purpose is served by listing off former radio personalities and the shows which (in most cases) were named after them, particularly when nothing else of note is written. The editorializing comments about Alexi and David Robinson also seem out of place to me. - Siward 19:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Whoops. I forgot to ask, what happened to the station terminology section? The Ticktionary is an ample reference for most of what was listed there, if not everything. This was one of the more useful sections of the article -- would it be unforgivable to bring it back? - Siward 19:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I took it out. The Ticktionary you mention is a primary source rather than a secondary source. See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources or the begining of this talk page for more info. Take note of the statement We may not use primary sources whose information has not been made available by a reliable publisher.

April 10th storm screw up 1310

according to the ticket's website as well at the Dallas-Ft. Worth radio broad at radio-info.com, 1310 The Ticket (KTCK) was affected by the April 10, 2008 pre-dawn tornado/thunderstorm event (which i know it produced some tornadoes as they confirmed some tornadoes that hit the DFW area). can you guys mention it if the storm did completely affected KTCK.--Boutitbenza 69 9 (talk) 05:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Affliation

What programming does KTCK get when they're not local? ESPN? Fox? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.192.168 (talk) 20:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I believe they still buy Sporting News radio. Mhudson3 (talk) 21:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

KKLF 1700 No longer simulcasting The Ticket

I noticed tonight that 1700 no longer appears to be simulcasting The Ticket. It seems that only 1310 AM and 104.1 FM are the only stations broadcasting The Ticket's signal? (ignoring HD Radio as much of the public already has)

Other Programs

When locally-based Ticket shows are not on the air, the airwaves are filled with SB Nation Radio. The Dallas Stars broadcast team is a simulcast of the television announcing team of Dave Strader on play-by-play with color analyst Daryl "Razor" Reaugh. Owen Newkirk and Bruce Levine host the radio pre-game, intermission, and post-game shows. On weeknight s after The Ticket Top 10 the nationally syndicated CBS radio show Ferrall on the Bench with Scott Ferrall can be heard.

Should the branding be changed on this as well as KTCK-FM?

Lately, I have been noticing that KTCK has been primarily identifying their FM station as their primary signal instead of their AM station. For example, the brand name in this article is "SportsRadio 1310 & 96.7 The Ticket", but I keep hearing it as "SportsRadio 96.7 and 1310 The Ticket. In addition, their website also has a slightly modified logo as well. So, should the article be edited to reflect the brand change or should we leave it as it currently stands. I'd really love to know. Marioedit8 (talk) 20:40, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
