CBS Sports Radio

[vjm]

Well, CBS Sports Radio's weekday schedule is almost complete.

Confirmed is:

John Feinstein 9-12p
Jim Rome 12-3p
Doug Gottlieb 3-6p
Scott Ferrall 10p-2a
Damon Amendolara 2-6a

That leaves 6-10a and 6-10p unfilled.

My guess would be that WFAN's "Boomer and Carton" AMD show will fill that slot for CBSSR (it kinda has a "Mike and Mike" motif to it)--not that it'll matter for Cleveland, as "Kiley and Booms" will air here regardless of what CBSSR settles on nationally.

Who knows what they'll do for the evening slot.  Again it won't matter here with "Bull and Fox" and Ken Carman airing on WKRK.

CBS has confirmed that 92.3 The Fan will air the 2-6a show ("The D.A. Show").

It's still unknown what they'll do with Jim Rome.

There's 3 options--air him live, on delay, or not at all.

Anybody wanna guess what'll happen?

I hope they put it after Midnight.  Not a fan of the Jim Rome show at all.

"The Fabulous Sports Babe," (remember her?) is supposed to be a part of the lineup.  I had heard repeatedly she'd be doing overnights.

Not that this will actually happen, but this is the best scenario.

Kiley and Booms 6-9a
Baskin and Phelps 9a-Noon
Jim Rome Noon-3p
Bull and Fox 3p-6 or 7p
Ken Carman 6 or 7p-10
CBS Sports Radio 10p-6a

Kiley and Booms 6-9a
Baskin and Phelps 9a-Noon
Jim Rome Noon-3p
Bull and Fox 3p-6 or 7p
Ken Carman 6 or 7p-10
CBS Sports Radio 10p-6a

Tweak it just a little:

Kiley and Booms 5-9a
Baskin and Phelps 9a-12p
Jim Rome 12-3p
Bull and Fox 3-7p
Ken Carmen 7-11p
CBSSR 11p-5a

I honestly feel WKRK will at least give it a go with Rome in his familiar time slot, just to see how it works.  They can always adjust as they go along if it doesn't meet expectations.

B&P, B&F, and Carmen can all use an hour chopped of from their shows, as a quicker pace would help all of them.

Sounds like Pittsburgh could go the same direction in terms of overnight CBSSR fare. KDKA-FM runs commentaries from that network but sticks with local talk. It goes to "best of" from 2 a.m. to 5:40 a.m.

I really think "Kiley & Booms" should be part of the CBS Sports Radio National Line-Up.  They have a good show and had a good following when they were national on FSR.  I say put them in the 3-6p slot and bump Gottleib to 6-10p....and I also heard the "Sports Babe" was going to fill a role on the line-up as well.

K & B could be part of some regional syndication to small nearby markets, such as Toledo and Youngstown, which have Cumulus owned ESPN Radio stations that are due to flip to CBSSR after the first of the year.

CBS Sports Radio has announced their new morning show.

It will be hosted by former NY Giants running back/Sunday Night Football analyst Tiki Barber, former ESPN host/anchor Dana Jacobson, and Brandon Tierney, former PMD host on KGME San Francisco.

Kind of surprising, as you'd figure WFAN's "Boomer and Carton" show would be the favorite, but oh well.

It doesn't matter here in Cleveland either way, as 92.3 The Fan has Kiley and Booms in AMD, and they look like they're doing OK.

So now CBSSR looks like this:

6-9a - Morning Show (Barber/Jacobson/Teirney)
9a-12p - John Feinstein
12-3p - Jim Rome
3-6p - Doug Gottleib
6-10p - TBA
10p-2a - Scott Ferrall
2-6a - The D.A. Show

As far as Cleveland goes, we're probably getting at least some of Ferrall,  all of D.A., and possibly Rome.

Again I have no info one way or the other, and I know CBS sports stations are usually live and local during the day, but this is a unique case and the option of WKRK squeezing Rome in during the day can't be discounted.

Keep Rome on WKNR.  The show is terrible.  92.3 should stick with live and local.  During Browns season nobody wants to listen to Rome pontificate about what a great interview he had for 1 hour after he did it.
