Dan McDowell, Jake Kemp in Settlement Talks with ‘The Ticket’

The owners of KTCK  “The Ticket” and former hosts Dan McDowell and Jake Kemp are close to settling a lawsuit over whether the duo’s new sports-talk podcast violates their noncompete agreement with the radio station, lawyers for both sides said Monday.

Informed that a settlement could be imminent, U.S. District Judge Karen Gren Scholer postponed until Aug. 29 an evidentiary hearing on a request by Susquehanna Radio, which owns The Ticket, for a temporary restraining order to silence the podcast called The Dumb Zone. Their afternoon show on The Ticket was The Hang Zone.
