Confirmed today (2 flips) in Columbus
- Thread starter radioislife2020

Anything missing from the Columbus AM dial that might actually work?
Oldies
I 2nd that notion
Sports betting?
I’d bet against it
I would figure some of the shows they syndicate are already on the air in Columbus.
I mean the closest your gonna get locally is 97.1 The Fan HD3 which plays the BETQL Programming.
While its probably not the rebrand your expecting, on today's Common Man and Timmy they announced they are rebranding 1460 and dropping ESPN.
I mean I don't have the number but if it's to tell them to start improving their quality, I would say it's worth finding.
Wow. Fair amount of questions there, like does 97.1 retain the ESPN affiliation and does 1460 remain sports, just with another network?
Simplest thing to do is scoot BetQL from 97.1-3 onto 1460. It's a quick and easy revenue stream that Tegna would appreciate.
There isn't much to choose from sports radio-wise if ESPN is disaffiliating from 97.1 — you have Fox Sports and Infinity (the former CBS Sports Radio). 97.1 did carry some NBC Sports Radio shows a decade ago but that network died in 2020.
I'm guessing that will be their plan. There was a strange part of me hoping they could reair a few of their shows in podcast forms.
920am Currently airing Fox Sports. NBC is dead. Infinity and ESPN would be the only ones available full time but i'm curious if it would be allowed since BetQL is a sister product of Infinity sports radio even airing some of the same overnight and weekend shows.
Don't quote me but I think 610 airs News Updates but that's it.
I am fairly sure that iHeart/Premiere would have no issue ripping up their Fox Sports Radio contract with WMNI and ink one for 1460/97.1. Happens all the time.
