Went to listen to The Score 1210AM WSKR this morning after coming in from New Year's, and the format is now Gospel? They are now calling the station the new Hallelujah 1210 AM....

The Score 1210 website does not even come up anymore. The format change did not happen until afer 12:00 1/1/12. I did not hear Buddy, Jimmy, Jordy or Tommy K. mention anything about it last week. Anybody know anything? Happy New Year...Roll Tigahs...!!!!!

It's still labeled as sports and talk on iheartradio.

But that's still weird. Though I have never listened to 1210 on Sunday's.

Damn, I don't listen to 1210 anymore because of 104.5, but still... That sucks.

That would be the secong time that the sports format did not work on 1210 AM. BAck in the earlies 90's I beleive it was the first sport formatted radio station in New Orleans. THey outbid WWL for the rights to Saints game. Dave Garrett used to call those games on 1210 AM.

I remeber listening to Rene Naddeau and Papa Joe Chavalie on that same station.

If true, that sucks.

Meanwhile, Josh Innes will be providing post-game talk after an NFL matchup in a top 10 market. He's drinking his former coworker's tears.

Damn! I listen to Jordy just about every morning while getting ready and when I can, I tune into Jimmy Ott's show. I know most people thinks BR sports talk radio sucks, but I think they do a good job appealing to the market they are reaching out to.

If I owned a business in B.R. with majority male employees, I would consider funding the gospel station over the a sports talk show as a way of increasing production in my workplace. Get back to work!

Wow,

Happy Songy and Condon are off the radio. While I didn't like Jordy's show, i listened occasionally. Ott is okay at best, rarely listened to him, but sure he'll find something else.

this board was a factor ..times are just changing this board is a major player in the local sports landscape in br I don't need to get any "scoop" from the radio at all I venture to say all of them used td.com as a source on some level

Just heard this.

Agree with some others that the same stuff was talked about all day. Lots of times even the same guys were calling different shows with their goofy aliases.

Maybe an option would be to do something online?

Gonna miss Jimmy, the others not so much.

All of the host got emails yesterday saying the station had changed its format and that they were no longer needed.

With Songy gone the big question is who is Matt Dunn going to blow to get on air!
