Not to be outdone...CBS Sports Radio starts Jaunary '13

[DToTheJ]

Speculation on shows? I figure WFAN's Boomer & Carton is in network's morning show plans.

Plus add a TV simulcast on CBS Sports Network (they currently have a TV simulcast on New York regional sports network MSG)...

I also think Yahoo will be the first casualty among the five sports radio networks. Here's more on my prediction:

Now if I'm ESPN Radio, I may be wondering why my syndicator (Cumulus) is so cozy with the competition.

In addition, if I were with Disney/ABC--or with Dial Global--I'd be wondering about any potential discussions between CBS and Cumulus concerning CBS Radio News.

My understanding is that ESPN will be taking Satellite distribution of ESPN Radio in house.

Wouldn't CBS Radio sports be a (Dial Global Operation like NBC SPorts Radio)?

No. Cumulus will distribute.

No. Cumulus will distribute.

Its odd that Cumulus will Distribute the CBS Sports division. Does this mean that CBS radio news will move to Cumulus too from DIal Global because I saw a 2011 Dial Global Annual report and it said that CBS Radio News contract with DIal Global will end in 2017. I know Cumulus owns the ABC radio News E and I name for now. I know KYW, WBZ, WINS and WNEW FM DC are CBS O&O all-news stations that have a Cumulus/ABC affiliation. maybe this will be a good idea for CBS to move its distribution contracts over to Cumulus.
