The new (improved?) 710 KSPN
The new lineup for all-sports KSPN-AM (710) that will start the week after Thanksgiving (Nov. 26) is close, but not exactly, as we'd heard from second-hand information and speculation in a blog posting last week.
Both John Ireland and Kevin Kiley have unfortunately left the building. Both were (and would have been) Top 10 Best Of in our annual rankings.
Station GM Bob Koontz just announced this new lineup:
6-10am :The Herd with Colin Cowherd (from ESPN Radio)
10am-noon: The Mike Tirico Show (from ESPN Radio)
Noon-1 p.m.: The Stephen A. Smith Show (from ESPN Radio)
1-4 p.m.: The Steve Mason Show (not with Kiley, but including contributors such as ESPN.com’s J. A. Adande; ESPN The Magazine’s Brian & Andy Kamenetzky; ESPN Fantasy’s Matthew Berry; ESPN Monday Night Football’s Michele Tafoya: San Diego Chargers’ LaDainian Tomlinson; Mike Ditka and E! Channel’s Ben Lyons)
4-7 p.m.: The Dave Dameshek Show (with contributors such as ESPN.com’s Bill Simmons and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, with an in-studio, one-man house band from Rich Banks).
7-10 p.m.: The Brian Long Show (another local show, from the guy who's been filling in the afternoon spots with Kiley out)
10-11 p.m.: 710 ESPN SportsCenter Presents (a nightly recap show using Dave Denholm, Beto Duran, Dave Joseph, Steve Bisheff, Mike Morales and Mark Thomason)
11 p.m.-3 a.m.: The Jason Smith Show (ESPN Radio, originating live from L.A.)
3-6 a.m.: Mike & Mike in the Morning (ESPN Radio)
Comments
ESPN Radio is falling way behind 570 in this market in my opinion. I am very entrenched in 570 and probably won't even give these new shows a chance. The only time i tune to 710 is for Cowherd, who really is awesome, and pre and post SC football on my way to the games. I find KLAC far more entertaining
