"These 26 years at The Ticket mean more to me than I could ever say," noted Rhyner. "In my heart, I will continue to be a part of it, even though I won't be there. And I will always pull for its continued success and foster that in any way I can. Nothing but love and respect for everyone there."

Dan Bennett, Regional VP/Cumulus Dallas/Houston, said, "Mike Rhyner is an iconic visionary who spearheaded what became the most prolific brand in Sports Talk radio. I could not be more proud and thankful to Mike for what he has accomplished at The Ticket, and wish him all the best in his retirement."
