ESPNRadio 1000 had been looking to move MJH up for a while after 'SCR moved Boers & Bernstein to 2-6, but your take is 100% correct

This Tirico/Cheez Doodles A. Smith split show concept is D.O.A. already

Is ESPN trying to give Rome or whoever's on Sporting Snooze Radio affiliates on purpose?

Here in Columbus, they had just made a change to pick up the last two hours of the show known as the Dan Patrick Show, and they have local programming bookending it.

They cut Cowherd to 10-12 (thankfully), run local 12-2, then DP 2-4, and then local again 4-6. Before, the 4-6 (Big Show) was a three hour spot. I'm wondering if with the recent changes they'll work out a different arrangement not to pick up SAS because he sucks. Or, to go to some other type of syndicated programming during the former DP time slot. Mike Tirico is a good guy, but he's about as exciting as vanilla.

These guys really seem to believe that they can program us to like something we hate just by putting it in our faces.

I think that its very interesting that a former national ESPN radio guy Justin Craig (former producer of M&M in the morning) would so quickly find a way to change network programming. However, I am sure that the suits will love it when they get Screamin A off the air in LA, Dallas etc.

Can Triple-X Radio in DC change the super-low power hours for 730 AM to 3-4 pm now? That would be a good fix.

Seriously, choosing between SAS and John Thompson for afternoon listening in DC now is lose-lose. I hope Triple-X comes up with a solution to keep SAS from being heard (because John Thompson must own 980s soul, assuming radio stations have souls), even if it means a one-hour infomercial for the Buck Bomb.

ESPN Radio in Boston has Mike Felger at 3 so Bostonians won't have to sit threw the SAS filth either...

How soon before he accuses the Chicago P.D. of racism?

I heard that he's in the process of suing the Philly paper on race discrimination.

What's Tirico's first "rant/take" going to be: Lloyd Carr belongs on the Mount Rushmore of college football coaches?

DP was always cut short in Pittsburgh so that Mark Madden could be heard from 3-7. When is SA's show? I'm sure it'll be covered up.

Steve A. will air on ESPN 1000 in Chicago from 11 p.m. - 1 a.m. weeknights. Not live, but not TOTALLY off air.

The decision to move MJH up an hour in Chicago had already been made before the SAS announcement came about. The station also doesn't carry Cowherd, they have a local show featuring former Bear Tom Waddle in that spot.

According to Bob Costas on Rome this afternoon, opinions on sports talk radio and blogs don't matter because they're mean spirited and misinformed, so who cares where Screamin' A. Smith's show is actually heard....
