This partnership is in Dallas where the Dallas Morning News and Cumulus' "The Ticket" have teamed up to release a SportsDay TALK Mobile App. KTCK-AM PD Jeff Catlin says, ?The Ticket has worked closely with The Dallas Morning News, specifically SportsDay for the last few years, but this app takes that relationship to a whole new level. No radio station has partnered with its local newspaper like this before, and I?m thrilled that this is another first for us.?
Among the features for the SportsDay TALK app are:
? The news feed content comes directly from SportsDayDFW
? Full social media integration involving Morning News writers, editors and columnists, as well as Ticket personalities and on-air producers
? Complete interaction through chats, comments and voting polls
? Comprehensive team overviews, stats and schedules including Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars, Dallas Mavericks and regional universities ? mainly from the Big 12 but not exclusive to the conference
? A live, buffered stream from KTCK-AM that allows the user to pause, rewind or fast forward any data through the app up to 20 minutes
? Searchable archive of Ticket broadcasts
? Scoreboards and social media timelines updated in real time
Product Manager for the paper Peter Welpton says, ?We have been waiting for this day since we began development in December 2012. This partnership between our SportsDay DFW team and the guys at The Ticket is going to be incredible, just like this app, which has more features, bells and whistles than any newspaper or radio app ever before.?
