I have no problem with Alexander. I used to listen to him on KDKA on a regular basis, even called the show several times. Like many of us in the business, he got the shaft. I will say that in my opinion, KDKA's current evening sports call in show is a down right borring joke. I no longer listen, not because Alexander's not there, but because the current host, who I don't even know by name, blows!

The KDKA radio show is on life support. They'll keep it until the Steelers are done, then it's going away.

(1) Consider this irony: Sunday night, the host of the Sports Challenge was a free-lancer. (Channel 2 as well as FSN-Pittsburgh.) In fact, of the participants, only one was a full-time KDKA employee. (And two competed with the aforementioned free-lancer at one or another of the hours of his show.)
(2) This further adds to the speculation that the Pirates are going away, too, after this coming season.
(3) If you're a full-service station, such as WPGB really is, all things considered, and KDKA touts itself to be, would you zero out sports in a sports-mad city where the Steelers aren't always the only topic?
(4) I've listened to I.C. Light Sportstalk in the post-Alexander era, too. Alexander was comfortably boring. The fill-in hosts have been boring like a dentist's drill.
But what do I know?

Fox was a development in the past two weeks, after Alexander was fired from KDKA Radio.

Speaking of the Steelers, while watching the Cowher press confrence I was suprised to see Elis Cannon getting a large number of questions in. He does an excellent radio show, although I sure miss Tolo's nightly antics on KD.<P ID="signature">______________

Technically, he's employed by neither. He's working freelance for both.
