paul fienbaum show

[cajunfan337]

I can't believe they have Fienbaum as an analyst on Gameday's. It's a disgrace to my college football IQ

[GreatestStory]

Only theory I can come up with is that station management decided not to spend the money to have the rights to broadcast SVP, so this was the cheap replacement.

Since 1420 is ESPN radio, I would guess that it may come from higher than local station management. Notice how they even worked Fienbaum into College GameDay on ESPN this year. This leads me to believe Bristol is forcing it nationwide on it's stations.

Is it just me or im I the only person who thinks the callers on the show ( bama rednecks) just sound moronic and idiotic? They all sound like they have absolute entitlement to everything !!!!! I enjoy Pauls views and he has interesting guests. However, the bama fans are wretched !!!!!

have you ever tuned in on sundays at 10:00 am on espn1420?

[CajunSaint]

Pretty much just alabama football with some auburn and a sprinkle of sec

Well, that's actually part of ESPN's plan. They hired him to be a big part of the SEC Network for which he will be a big part of it once its unveiled. I think his show that is syndicated from Charlotte will truly be covering nothing but SEC sports in the future. What's interesting about him is that he started out as in investigative reporter and has always been based in Alabama. I used to read his column a lot when I'd go visit the old in-laws in Mobile and they would have a "Sound Off" daily in the paper where they just had a page dedicated to daily rants. You can imagine who spent most of their time there since you are in the middle of Auburn/Alabama country there. It was actually pretty humorous and entertaining but its safe to say, it doesn't make their fan bases look very good. If I'm not mistaken, he was the reporter who broke the whole Antonio Langham deal about signing with an agent back in the mid 90s

What Town Square is doing here (through the program director Scott Prather) is hedge their bets.

They are hedging their bets in case they ever lose the UL contract.

Every time a new sports station pops up the 14.20 owners slide in the direction of being all things to all people.

Kind of like Advertiser.

One of the guest yesterday literally said "The just drug tested her drawers yesterday" lol. He also said Nick Saban had something to do with all the Winston news getting out to the media. Some people just amaze me.

This is what happens when a bunch of lawyers decide to invest their fortunes in radio without knowing anything about the radio business. It's all about the almighty dollar. Just listen to all the BS sponsorships during a live sports' broadcast. They could care less about the listener.
