Just curious what ever happened to him? He used to have the slot that Greg and Taylor have with the First Team on Sirius XM. I don't think I have heard his show in years and wondered if he just fell off the grid?

His show is broadcast locally in Nashville now, and maybe a few other towns. He posts his show on SoundCloud a few hours after it's done each day.

Even though I enjoy Zarzour and McElroy, Bill King was the perfect college sports radio dork. He should at least be on in afternoon drive time on CSN. Mark Packer is OK, but just kind of a likeable nice guy with little analysis. Pack and Robert Smith is a decent show, I guess. Pack and Leinart is terrible. I pretty much like everyone on the station, except Childers.

WNSR out of Nashville. You can download their app and listen to him live in the morning.

I'm just glad he is still alive. His show was the first I found on Sirius that was devoted strictly to the college game. I think I started listening to him back when we fired Shula and offered Rich Rod the gig. Those were some painful weeks leading up to that magical day of January 3, 2007.

I think he had a very legit show and even though I like Greg cause he is a Bama dude and him and Taylor have good insight into college ball, I miss the quirks of Bill's show and often wondered why they quit broadcasting him.

I liked the clip he would play of an LSU caller.

"LSU is an 800 pound gorilla with a chainsaw as a penis"

I remember that he couldn't reach an agreement to renew contractually with sirius a few years back and he was optimistic that everyone would still be able to hear him. I don't think he thought he would still be relegated to Nashville 5 years later. He should have taken whatever they offered because he has fallen off the map and his app is terrible.
