With March Madness in full swing and the Final Four headed to Indianapolis, plenty of people will be tuning in to sports talk radio. Indianapolis has three stations cranking out sports talk, and all three are trying to grab the lucrative afternoon drive-time audience.
Former Emmis program director who helped launch 1070 The Fan is hosting a show weekdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on WXNT-AM 1430. He faces stiff competition from JMV and Query and Schultz.
WNDE-AM 1260 on Monday yanked Fox Sports Daybreak with Andy Furman & Mike North in favor of a general interest show, but station officials said they remain committed to sports-talk during other times.
Greg Rakestraw beat out numerous outsiders for his new job. Now there won't be anything that goes over the air at Emmis-owned WFNI-AM 1070 he won't be involved in, said company executives.
Local radio host breaks big news about one of the biggest stories so far in this young NFL season, and the national media members he beats don't even bother to call him by his correct name.
JMV’s new show, “The Ride,” will run weekdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m starting Monday.
Local advertisers and media buyers said they’ll keep a close eye on the first half of 2010 to see
how Patrick, who launched his show Jan. 4, matches up against WFNI-AM 1070’s afternoon drive time
show.
