Sports talk shows on college radio

We're used to sports talk shows on commercial stations, but how about non-commercial stations doing sports talk? (I guess WBUR's Only A Game
qualifies). My own station, WMWM, has a show on Wed. (3-6 pm) called
College Guys Talking Sports. I've tuned in and it sounds similar to
the Big Show or just about any sports talk, really--Pats, Sox, etc.;
they break it up once in awhile by playing some music (usually blues).

We had a sports talk show years ago on WMWM, "Time out for Sports" which
aired Sundays from 6-7 pm, following by local music ("The Neighborhoods"
with Kathy Doyle) and then yours truly doing alternative from 9-midnight.
A guy who worked at the Salem State print shop, Fred Gaudreault, was one of the hosts and I think the rest were either SSC students or outsiders. Lasted for
a year or two.

Other college/non-comm. stations doing their best to breed talent for commercial
sports talkers?

WERS-Sunday,I don't know the time,it was afternoon,might be morning now.
WZBC-Saturday afternoon,don't know time on that either.
 
remember the Sports Palace years ago on WMBR? That was pretty cool...

"NOW SHUT UP AND GET OUT OF HERE" was their tagline... Dr. Felix Cruel, Bernard Smith and Lester Miserables... Bernard's real name was Mark Flynn and one of the others was Jan Crocker (Dr. Cruel, I believe). Funny stuff.

After the demise of the short-lived Sports Palace show in the mid-80's, Flynn switched to music DJ'ing on WMBR's long-running late weekday morning punk rock block "Late Riser's Club" for a few years, then moved over to WZBC (Boston College) for about a fifteen year run as one of the hosts of their evening "No Commercial Potential" block, where he got to play more avant-garde sounds.

Mark is currently a nightclub DJ at multiple venues in NYC.
