New ESPN 1420 Programming Lineup Begins on Monday

No. They must be approved by the University.

Who submits the suggestion to the U?

[Turbine]

No. They must be approved by the University.

The reason I ask

...

Over the last two years, Learfield/IMG College has owned the broadcast rights for UL Sports. They control who the pbp voice is, not Townsquare. ...

Geaux Cajuns
Jay Walker

And no Kevin Foote, now I'm really upset. I'm not a fan of G. Larnard. He is obviously much more an LaSU fan than a Cajun fan. This Ragin Cajun station is changing too much. Might as well start listening to regular radio now.

I like Scott, Billy and Steve (when he talks sports), so I will check it out Monday. But no J in the afternoon is really gonna suck.

I do not really get that Lanard is more LSU. I can listen to him in the afternoon and Scot in the morning. Sucks for everyone that lost jobs but I do not mind the pm/am shakeup.

I was really liking what Greg was doing interviewing the softball players. I thought he did a good job with the feature. Then one day he showed up wearing a sweatshirt with purple as one of the colors. That's where he lost me. Very disrespectful. JMO.

why did they go to co-hosts and shorter shows in the first place? i never really liked that, seems the writing already was on wall they were spending too much if you do simple math regarding number of hosts/co hosts and number of hours of air time

Alot of their host have to bring their own money if I'm not mistaken.

He may not be, but when I tune in to the show in the afternoons and he is on, it always seems to be LaSU, so I usually change the station. He might do more UL, but I haven't heard but one segment of him interviewing a UL softball player.

However, no one is talking about Foote. Why is he gone? Like I stated earlier, I will be listening Monday AM. I'm curious how everything will play out. Oh, and are they going solo, or pairing with another host?

Remember, Town Square, locally, had Patty in the Parc scheduled. They had to cancel it. That alone cost them $200,000. Plus, they probably lost close to that in March and April from people who have canceled their radio buys.

Wow 200 grand. Was it really that big of a deal. Surprised that many people went.

I knew there was a change coming. There had to be. Stevie P. was tasked with filling four hours of airtime on a sportstalk station when there are no sports. Almost impossible. He didn't take any calls. So, it was him pontificating with an occasional interview thrown in. I tuned in one morning and he was interviewing Yvette Girouard. I love listening to Yvette. I tuned in two days later and he was interviewing her again. Then I realized it was the same interview from two days prior. When a sports talk host has to replay an interview he broadcast just two days earlier, I knew something had to change. With no sports, there is no talk show host in America who can fill 4 hours of airtime. Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd, Jim Rome get three hours and there is a reason why. Hell, even Rush Limbaugh only gets 3 hours. Why the powers-that-be at Townsquare thought Stevie could fill 4 hours of sports talk with no sports is beyond me. What they start doing Monday makes a lot more sense. Happy Easter.

I hope Jay Bird is brought back after this Virus! I really like Jay Bird, Kevin, Stevie-P, Scott(sometimes), G(I-like) as he learns about the Cajuns he has gotten better, Billy(I like him better when BIG RUSTY Guilbeaux)is with him. I want them all back!
