Have you missed Mike & Mike on your morning ride to work?
Or that prickly Colin Cowherd as you're heading out to lunch?
Do you wonder if you can imagine the kind of suits Calvin Murphy is wearing on his late afternoon show?
Hurricane Ike's storm surge flooded the Winnie-based transmitter building for ESPN 97.5, The Ticket, the sports ra-dio format that bills itself as being from "Beaumont and Houston."
The station is owned by Cumulus Media Inc. of Atlanta.
Houston-based general manager Pat Fant said transmitter repairs could take up to four weeks to complete.
"The insurance people are inspecting it today," Fant said.
The station's transmitter is 2,000 feet high - about as high as a 200-story building, he said.
Storm surge flooded the transmitter's building and damage other equipment, but the hurricane-force wind did not knock down the tower itself.
The Ticket, as the station also is known, began its sports talk format in January 2007.
"We miss you and we're glad you miss us," Fant said.
