There's no sports radio affiliate in the rural town I live in, and satellite radio is just too much of a luxury IMO. So I'm glad that the sports radio nets have been good about providing podcasts. ESPN Radio gives you daily highlights of its network shows, but I actually like some of their original shows better: "Football Today", "NBA Today", "Fantasy Focus", and "The BS Report with Bill Simmons" are must grabs IMO. Sporting News Radio will let you grab entire network shows, or just a few select segments. And Fox Sports Radio must have recently stepped up their efforts, as I never noticed the podcasts they currently offer.

I have no particular favorite, but I used to love XTRA Sports 690 in southern California until Clear Channel ruined it and made it an L.A.-based super-station with AM 1150, when they were carrying the sports format.

Bowler Bob in Brisbane
Guest
My favorite sports station is KNBR 680 in San Francisco.
This is where I got my start as a sports talk radio caller back in June of 1997.
I created the "Bowler Bob in Brisbane" handle for uniqueness, and because I am a league bowler who loves the Giants & the 49'ers.
At one point a few years back I had experimented with calling other sports talk radio stations around the country, but have since reeled it back in to be exclusively on KNBR 680.

I've always felt, for the most part, WFAN did it the right way.
A wall-to-wall lineup of local hosts and play-by-play contracts.
Hard working reporters who break news.
Hosts who are engaging but oh, so entertaining.
The invention of the 20-20 update.
Embracing, rather than ridiculing, the caller.
Knowledgable talent.
WFAN has always been the gold standard for me. While I think the criticisms of the current morning show for being "dirty" are legitimate, and Mike Francessa does have a rather favorable opinion of himself, I still don't see this as a corruption of the entire product.

I remember that station...Rome, Mason & Ireland, Loose Cannons, Hacksaw. I was new to talk radio back then, but ever since, I have not found an all-day lineup like that one.
As of today, I prefer 710 here in L.A. but switch back-and-forth to 570, depending on who is going to commercial.
I just recently started listening to sports talk radio, WWTX 1290 The Ticket, Wilmington DE. They air Fox Sports Radio, The Jim Rome Show from Premiere Radio Network, and a local sports talk show each weekday afternoon 3pm-6pm. It's a great change of pace from listening to political talk all day.
