MD Radio 2 Hours - going into PBW Radio's time space

[OneMoreRep]

According to Muscular Development owner, Steve Blechman, “This new extended format gives us the perfect opportunity to have an open call-in segment.  For the first time in bodybuilding radio history, listeners will have a chance to interact with their idols, LIVE!  As we all know, listener interaction, ultimately, leads to a greater sense of community!”

Idols?

Good old competition.  Let the consumer choose their preferred product.  Both products will have to continue improving, innovating and whatever to keep the sponsors happy and keep the consumer listening.  There are benefits for the consumer in this.

In theory yes.  But I think it is pretty well inevitable that PBW will be the preferred product.

[Matt C]

Our show sucks anyway, so why do you care?

For your information, the 6pm time slot wasn't available.....so 8pm was all we had to work with.  We couldn't let this opportunity slip by. . .  over the last 3 weeks, our listening audience has skyrocketted.

Besides, people have the option to download the shows later and listen at their leisure.  What's the big deal?

I think the concern is that MD did this intentionally.  This type of cutthroat business will probably hurt bodybuilding more than it will help.

To what do you attribute this recent jump in listenership, Dave?

I thought with Shawn as a PBW representative and former Weider athlete appearing on No Bull that some of the barriers between the shows were being taken down but I guess I was wrong.

The problem is that it does interfere with PBW.  I actually like both but if I had a choice I'd rather listen to Bob Chick and Dan Soloman than Greg Valentino and John Romano.  And playing it at a later time isn't the same as live.  


BTW, hows the work with Billy Guns going, he's out 2 days so I'm sure he's taking his dieturics now.

The big deal is that the fan base is small as it is, and splitting it up on a 'live' broadcast isnt cool. Yes, everyone can download it, but the perception is that this looked premeditated.  It is like having two football games on at the same time, with only two to choose from. Simple logic.

Finally Padumbo says something that makes sense.

This is an attempt to breathe life into a dying corpse.

Anyone else notice that titanic.com is redirecting to MuscularDevelopment.com?

Idols?

I was thinking the same thing lol, like hell do I idolize anybody, fans maybe but that's it.

This blatant attempt to attack PBBW is disgusting, and it shows the mentality of the clowns behind MD. Chick has his faults [a vendetta against Dorian, a hatred of Milos, a very close 'friendship' with Shawn etc], but he is an excellent radio host that knows his subject and can speak with assurance and dignity. Compare that to Palumbo and his tranny banging, drug dealing pals. MD will lose this one, and i won't be at all surprised if the magazine eventually folds as well.

which show is sean on...i'll switch to the other

Solid post. 

But really, who is anyone kidding?  There has always been competition between the programs.  There is no getting around that.  Same day, different day, no matter.  To think otherwise is foolish. 

It's obvious that our show seems to draw the venom out of the people on this board.  That being the case, for those of you who wish to continue to focus on elaborate and ribald tales of the past, knock yourselves out.  You're obviously not interested in listening to the show anyway, so please don't. 

For anyone here who is smart enough to read between the lines of the posts that bash us, I invite you to give our extended and informative format a listen.  You'll find yourself pleasantly surprised.

I agree
I download both shows so that I skip the ads

sorry bro. i tried to listen to the MD show the other night. One of the hosts was ramblin about mexican women and some other bullsshit. I turned it off after like 5 minutes.  Thumbs way down.

 "...listeners will have a chance to interact with their idols.."

 Ba ha ha ha ha!

 Bodybuilders aren't like other "Professional Athletes". They're as accessible as your next door neighborhood.

 "idols". Hahahahaha!

[AVBG]

I dont think its really a competition, even though MD would like us to think that it is.

They make claims about their listenership going up, but the reality is that when PBW airs each week, everyone is talking and discussing the content of the show.  On the other hand, you never hear anyone talking about No Bull Radio (except a few loyal MD supporters). 

Even when they had Shawn Ray on, it was like it never even happened.  No disrespect to MD, but they should really try to get the first hour right before they add another one.

Huh? If Bob has a "vendetta" against Dorian because he thinks that Dorian may not have been the clear winner on each of those 6 wins then he has a vendetta with Ronnie, Haney, and Franco because each of them he has said could have been defeated on different occasions. As for Milos, it just seems like a heated debate but far from hatred.

Anyone who is smart enough knows no one listens to MD Radio. Why would you come on getbig to defend yourselves if you didn't care? MD is obessesed with Getbig and what is being said about them.

You sunk your own battleship before the battle began.

[danielson]

Dave is a good guy and I honestly like the show, he does a good job imo. Not as good as Bob and Dan, but the shows are very different and I listen to them both every Monday. That being said, whatever lame brain came up with this idea obviously doesn't care about the real BBing fans. True, most readers of MD probably don't even log onto the site or listen to the show, but the hardcore BBing fans should be treated better than this. We know why they are doing this, and it is not helping the "Muscle Mob" from a PR standpoint.

[danielson]

If it is so obvious, then why do you guys constantly spam Getbig? Ron stickey's Daves Threads about the MD show every week(or allows them to be stickeyed anyway), yet you guys at MD don't even allow your members to link to Getbig. Perhaps if you changed your policies and treated Ron(GB) as well as he treats you guys, there would not be as much venom?
