CBS FM Sports Lineup Projections/Predictions

YOUR weekday lineup for 92.3 the Fan:

6 - 10 a.m. - Kiley and Booms
10 a.m. - 2 p.m. - Andy Baskin (w/ co-host TBA)
2 - 7 p.m. - Adam The Bull (w/ co-host TBA)
7 p.m. - 12 a.m. - Ken Carman (w/ co-host TBA?)
12 - 1 a.m. Tony Bruno (FSR)
1 - 6 a.m. - JT The Brick (FSR)

Most sports radio stations, if local in the evening daypart, usually employ only one host for that slot. Plus, it's more convenient if being pre-empted by play-by-play. That's just the way I see it, though...

That does make sense. That is why I put the question mark next to his name as far as co-hosts go.

Ken's gonna have at least 17 Mondays off right off the bat, as The Fan will air Monday Night Football (via WW1).

As well as many Thursday nights, too, with WW1's Thursday night Football coverage. :)

Presumably, if 92.3 were to acquire the rights to CSU basketball or Monsters/Blue Jackets hockey, that will also leave nights free for Ken as well.

Given all of the other info you deliver... you're more than forgiven on this item! ;)

Heh. Morning drive is my Achilles heel. I rarely am awake before 9 AM.

Andy has been doing the updates under the auspices of his TV job, and is not in the building with the Maxwell Show or any predecessor show. He'll be in the studio next door in the Halle Building starting Monday...
 
OK, now things are getting down to brass tax...

A little birdie just told me that Andy Baskin's co-host will be a very familiar name...here's a hint:

"Whoop-dee-doo Sports Review"!

Also, the new 6 a.m. - noon sports anchor will be a familar voice...here's a hint:

"Let's all get drunk and play ping-pong!"

And it looks like Adam the Bull's new co-host is somebody that...well Aaron Goldhammer would appreciate too much...here's a hint:

2002 National champion, bounced around the NFL, does some OSU analysis for WEWS.

Bring on the FAN!

Good to see Mr Phelps getting some reps in during the NBA lockout.

Here is a link from wikipedia (wikipedia...always there, sometimes accurate):
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Fox.

According to the edit history, the part about Dustin being on "The Fan" was added by...our own Nathan Obral :D

Not that I don't believe Nathan, but Wikipedia IS the "encyclopedia anyone can edit"...

Jeff Thomas announced his move to the Fan on Thursday. He's doing his last show on WEOL/930 presumably at this moment.

It'll be interesting to see how Andy and Jeff Phelps mesh as talk show co-hosts.

I'm hearing the full lineup, including weekends (7 AM to 7 PM per Adam), could be announced today. Watch the 923thefan.com website and the station's Facebook presence.
 
Meanwhile, while Adam the Bull did confirm on Twitter (I provoked him) that he would have a co-host, he did not reveal said co-host. I suppose that identity will be unveiled in hours...
 
WEEKDAYS:
  • 6 - 10 a.m. - "Kiley and Booms" - Kevin Kiley and Chuck Booms, Jeff Thomas updates, Josh Potter and Tony Mazur producing
  • 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. - "Cleveland's Talking Heads" - Andy Baskin and Jeff Phelps, Jeff Thomas (10-12) and TBA (12-2) updates, Lindsey Foltin producing
  • 2 - 7 p.m. - "The Adam The Bull Show with Dustin Fox", updates and producer both TBA
  • 7 p.m. - 12 a.m. - "The Ken Carman Show", updates and producer both TBA

"Sports Boy Tony" could be the update guy from say 12-6.

Looks like a pretty strong lineup. It is very similar to their programming in Pittsburgh, which recently went syndicated overnights.
 
What is this weekend lineup DSN revisited? They can't possibly be serious. Ken Silverstein is horrible, Joe Lull is average at best and Kendall Lewis was never good to begin with. ::)
 
Never heard of Lull.

I'm a pretty active sportstalk radio listener. I've always enjoyed Ken Silverstein. I met him back when he worked at WKNR 1220....nice guy. Didn't think he was still in the area.

Chuck Booms won't last 6 months

Not when he has not one, but TWO people (Kevin Kiley and Tony Mazur) who are the most capable of keeping Chuck in line, both in the same studio.

If I were Rover, it would be a good idea to step up my game NOW, lest his "victory" against Maxwell be short-lived. Unlike Maxwell, which was doomed from the get-go, "Kiley and Booms" soon could become a major headache if he isn't careful.

We all know "Mike and Mike" on WKNR hasn't a prayer.
 
Which of the two producers has the honor of driving Chuck Booms to work every day? If it snows does Booms decide to just sandbag the day and not show up like he did at DSN. Booms will be gone by years end. Nobody learns with that guy. He is an impossible talent to work with.

And yet, it can be argued it's STILL better than Maxwell in the morning... :p

Uhh... couldn't his falling out with DSN be because of... I don't know... the fact that Harry P. and company couldn't find their way out of a paper bag? Let alone fail to pay staffers for prolonged periods of time, if ever?
 
No doubt, Booms will have to be on his best behavior.

But this isn't DSN, a quasi-amateur operation. This is radio's big time, a high-profile station owned by a major corporation. I'm sure Andy has heard of Booms' rather interesting career reputation, and will basically read him the riot act if he falls off the wagon.

And maybe Jeff Thomas is ready to fill in for Booms if he doesn't show up for work some days. :D

BTW, that weekend schedule is up in the air a bit. I'm hearing that Anthony Lima, the artist known as SportsBoy Tony in his youth, could add a weekend show to his M-F afternoon update duties.
 
In 2011, when most stations are looking to cut live people from their staff...isn't it refreshing that CBS is investing in this new format with a large, live, local staff?

Sure, sportstalk is a spoken-word type format, so you have to have people on the air. But, syndication is available and using such is widely used by many, many stations so that they can save a few bucks with a much smaller live staff.

Most of us, I'm sure, wish CBS Cleveland all the luck in the world with 92.3 The Fan (eventually 98.5 The Fan...LOL). And, kinda feel sorry for the KNR people.
