CBC Sports Radio stations added HD counterparts this spring, but 99.9 The Fan and 620 The Buzz are making more positive changes this summer and fall.
Starting Monday, July 30, 2012, Mark and Mike’s Morning Show will be expanding to the 5am to 9am time slot on 620 The Buzz. The 5am hour will also be airing on 99.9 The Fan. Mark Thomas and Mike Maniscalco, The Insiders, debate everything from college football to Tiger Woods to hockey trades and everything in between.
Speaking of the gridiron, Steve Logan will be joining the team this football season. Coach Logan will sit in with Adam and Joe on Friday’s during the 4 PM hour to talk college and pro football. He will join Mark and Mike during the 7 AM hour on Mondays to review the weekend’s action. Additionally Coach Logan will host 99.9 The Fan’s Saturday “Gameday Live” program.
“Coach Logan has the unique ability to take the football knowledge that he has gained throughout his years of coaching and present it in an entertaining and energetic manor,” said CBC Sports Radio Operations Manager/Program Director Jason Dixon. “He will be a solid compliment to the great football content that our regular hosts are generating.”
The stations are putting the finishing touches on their high school football coverage plan which will include a game of the week, a weekly high school football show, and reports throughout the week.
In even more news, CBC Sports Radio has re-upped with Chuck Kaiton and John Forslund to provide hockey analysis for the stations. Kaiton will join Mark and Mike the day of every weekday home game, and will be on with Adam and Joe the weekday after every game. Forslund will be on with Mark and Mike the day after each game and with Adam and Joe the afternoon of every weekday home game. Forslund will also continue his role as a contributor to The Aftermath after each Canes game.
CBC Sports Radio has also expanded their weekend local programming. Erroll Reese, Bill Murphy and K-Mac host “The Sports Shop” each Saturday morning from 9am to 11am. It the first few weeks of the show guests have included: Oregon State Head Basketball Coach (and brother of First Lady Michelle Obama) Craig Robinson, NBA star Jerry Stackhouse, and Charlotte Bobcats President Fred Whitfield.
“I am truly excited about all of these elements,” said Dixon. “We are gearing up for what should be a tremendous fall. “
