What Are Local Sports Talk Show Hosts Really Saying About Their Industry

behind the scenes? They have to be imagining the exodus of listeners from their shows and what this will mean to their job security.

Haven't even thought about this but if people really do stop watching/listening to sports then they will def be hurt.

People may still watch/listen to highlight/after shows but still should be down.

SVP & Rusillo was the only ESPN radio show in history that I listened to regularly or as scheduled listening. Freddie Coleman & Fitz, one of the very few others I enjoyed, when in the car.

Was exclusively listening and viewing VSIN since it's 2017 inception. All day.

Before that my daily sports radio was Vegas stations for Cokin, Pauly, Mitch, and Blessing,etc..

During LSU Football season will listen to 104.5 BR's daily local shows religiously, but only if in traffic during the rest of the year.

Otherwise, have quit all since pandemic..

Now, just binge Podcasts wall to wall, nothing else, no sport talk..Patrick Bet David's Valuetainment, Joe Rogan Exp, Jocko Willink, Robert Kiyosaki, David Icke, Seb Gorka, Epoch Times, Tom Fitton, Dan Bongino,etc..

Are you suggesting the white middle class sports fan will be dropping sports because of “woke” athletes?
This was talked about when the olympians raised the black fist in Mexico City or when Ali changed his name and fought with the draft boards. Nothing really new here. Sports will be fine, especially in the south.

I deleted all their apps and cancelled all my podcast subscriptions. When Whitlock went over to join Clay Travis I decided that would be my sports outlet for the foreseeable future. But I’m a sports guy, If I wanted a Marxist racial deconstruction of AmeriKKKa, I’d go to the nearest faculty lounge, pour myself a double soy chai and nod my head approvingly like a good little NPC.

I've quit listening because they don't have anything to talk about. Plus, I don't have a sports station in my city, so I would have to listen online anyway.

As far as music goes, streaming has destroyed the music industry. Used to be you bought entire albums and now people only listen to the few select "hits". A lot of good music is not the hits as us older people can tell you. Back in the day you would just put on an album of Led Zeppelin or Steely Dan and let it play. Now it's all a mix and new or deeper music doesn't get much of a chance.
