Czaban Finally to do Mornings on WTEM

[ocradiofreak]

After a year and a half Steve Czaban's FOX Sports Radio Morning Show will be carried on the station it originates from Sports Talk 980 WTEM out of Washington DC. That is because Dan Snyder's new radio station is stealing all of the ESPN programming. I think 980 should also put Bruno and Rome on there too to offset the losses of Kornheiser and Dan Patrick...

WTEM is also picking up J.T. The Brick. That gives them the #1 sports talk show at night to go along with Czaban and othe local shows. The signal is terrible for the ESPN radio shows in and around DC. Snyder know nothing about radio and will lose money like Paul Allen at SNR. Bad move for ESPN Radio!

Do you know if they are going to pick up Jim Rome? They used to have him a few years ago. And they had Bruno for like an hour when he was on FSR.

They won't pick up Bruno because he took a huge paycut to go to SNR and Ashwood is the greatest mind in the history of radio.

(Thought I'd get it out of the way, and save Ashwood $1.50 payment to what's his name)

Czabe is the man, first of all. It had to eat at him that the station that he broadcasted out of wouldn't syndicate the show, but instead went with "Mickey and Mickey" as he would say. If memory serves me, Rome was never on 980 WTEM, he was on their sister station (1060???). That was before that station switched formats I believe. I'm from Albuquerque, so I could be off on that, but I was happy to read on Czabe's website (www.czabe.com) (ding, ding) that he would be on in DC. If FSR was smart, they would put him as the lead in to Rome.

Czabe is the man... but if they moved him to that 9am EST slot he wouldn't be on in DC b/c Kornheiser's local show airs at that time.

Jim Rome was first on WTEM, starting around 2000 or so, from 1p to 3p. (The noon hour of Rome, obviously offset by Tony Kornheiser - who originated his radio show on WTEM in 1995 - was played on tape at 9p.) And Bruno was on only in the 9am hour, buffeted by both "Mike and Mike" and Kornheiser.

In 2003, WWRC/1260 flipped to an all-FSR sister station to WTEM - but was foolishly imaged as "SportsTalk 1260," as WTEM was/is "SportsTalk 980". PMD programming was simulcast on both stations. Rome and Czaben national show - he's one of WTEM's PMD hosts, ergo the simulcast - moved to 1260.

Last year, WWRC went with lib talk, but WTEM has kept their ESPN programming since... until now. Even though WKNR/Cleveland could give them a run for their money, WTEM is one of the worst sports stations in the country, programming-wise.

Kornheiser will drop the radio show in the next several months anyway due to his new Monday Night Football gig.
