New ESPN 1420 Programming Lineup Begins on Monday

[Dad04]

The future of sports broadcasting may be self production and on line. With XM, Pandora, etc, local radio may be dying. Remember, AM radio was dying before, like him or not, Limbaugh came along.

COVID-19 simply pushed them over the cliff, along with a ___ ton of retail and restaurant businesses/real estate.

I am not holding my breath for any type of rebound of live sports with fans in the stands until a proven vaccine is widely available......in 18 months. If you've seen anyone go though C-19, you won't take any chances.

Neighbor had it but did not tell anyone until it ran its course. Caught it very early, and it still was rugged.

If I remember correctly, it's up to LearField IMG who the voice of the Cajuns is

Thanks, thought so, but they still broadcast on 1420am. So there may be a conflict of some kind.

No. They must be approved by the University.

[Turbine]

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. ...

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?
