Reasons to Move Out of Birmingham Part 96

[Townhallsavoy]

In Birmingham, Finebaum's new, regionally syndicated ESPN Radio show will be heard on his old station, WJOX 94.5 FM, as well as the new ESPN 100.5 FM, which is expected to launch Monday, as well.

Finebaum's new show, which will originate out of ESPN regional studios in  Charlotte, will begin and end an hour earlier than before -- airing from 1 to 5 p.m. in Birmingham, instead of from 2 to 6 p.m.

"The JOX Roundtable," which moved to fill Finebaum's afternoon time slot after his contract with WJOX expired in January, will return to its old midday slot. The show -- with Jim Dunaway, Ryan Brown and Lance Taylor -- will air from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., ending an hour earlier than it did before it moved.

"The Opening Drive" -- with Jay Barker, Al Del Greco and Tony Kurre -- will continue to air in its usual morning drive slot, from 6 to 10 a.m.

Two stations to listen to him.  The only good show in town The Roundtable gets an hour chopped off its program.  If I had to assume, I'd assume that losing that hour will knock their pay thus leading to one of the three (or four if you include Rockstar) taking off for another gig.  And we still get four hours of The Opening Drive.

It's sad because for one, I really enjoy The Roundtable in the afternoons.  Two, the main shows on local sports radio are now and forever will be Bama-driven bullshit with two hosts that just love to stir up controversy especially with Auburn.

And three, it's sad because it seems like many people like The Roundtable.  And most people talk about how Finebaum is drivel and bad for the brain and they claim they never listen to him.

But they do.  If they didn't, he wouldn't be jolly walking back into his old role as the main radio host in Birmingham.

Wonder if ESPN will force him to expand his programming beyond 4 hours of inbred idiot callers swallowing SabanJizz, interspersed with Finefuck's own Saban cocksuckfest???????

I'm sure it will feature a wide array of callers, but I seriously doubt they will have any intelligence whatsoever. 

Instead of Tammy, I-Man, Legend, and Jim from Tuscaloosa, you'll have Cajunboy, Irishman, Wolverinyourface, and Jerry from Jersey.

I'm pissed about the round table losing an hour. The opening drive is garbage.

Pâté said they'll still do the podcast but it might only be available on the rivals site.
