So now that Czabe is back on XM I listened to the show for the first time since the signoff in 2009. First of all, it feels like nothing has changed. Still just as good as I remembered, except for the hard SNR breaks. Anyone know where the SNR clock is? The show is certainly shorter than it was on Fox Sports Radio, which has few commercials.
Second, is Sporting News Radio now trying to ape the presentation of the pre-Don Martin Fox Sports Radio? I haven't heard it in a while, but they've got the previous FSR announcer (name escapes me), and the packaging and delivery is very similar. Right down to the intro: "Now, from the (sponsor) studios of F-S-R/S-N-R, in our nation's capital, here he is: THE CZABE!" It sounds really strange. Of course they've still got the SNR theme and jingle, which I don't expect them to ditch after all this time.
