That seem tough to believe. Daunic returned to the air only a few months into 3HL's move to drivetime. Since 104.5 is currently #1 in the 25-54 demo, while 102.5 is 19th, I can't imagine that Daunic could have possibly pulled 1/4 of 3HLs listeners in that time.

Agree.

While they wont have Bob and Tom the bigger question is what will they do with Vandy sports. Evidently there is some concern about the station continuing to air their games due. It would make sense that they move to 102.5 as their loyal mouthpiece is now a part of the station but a move this close to kickoff is nuts. Humm....

VU doesn't have a say in the matter, Cumulus sold the station. They may put Vandy programming on another one of their signals, it won't be 104.5, obviously. Vandy is off 97.1 for good, it becomes a Christian station Monday.

Looking forward to being able to listen to sports talk radio again during afternoon drive time starting on Monday. No more of the incessant babbling that takes place on on 104.5 in the afternoons.

Oh yeah. But it was Withrow and Murphy Fair that actually handled the coverage.

Unless you like hearing about Braves baseball then you won't hear much sports talk on 102.5 with the occasional Preds update.

Don't ever take anything from Candymania as any source of truth. That's the biggest clown site with the most paranoid, schizophrenic moderator on the face of the earth.

I've never seen an opposing fanbase obsess over UT athletics and make up more lies about UT like that pathetic site.

I like to hear about all sports. I am a sports junkie. I love baseball, football - college and NFL, basketball, and hockey. George discusses each.

My favorite segments were the Nick Stick Hunter and John McClain segments.

If you want to hear the UT depth chart repeated ad nauseam, listen to Hyams.

There's better information on volnation's NFL forum than what John McClain has. If you rely on him as an "expert" its not surprising you'd like George.

I always loved the Titans insider from Houston. Wonder if there is a Dodgers radio show that has an insider based out of Brooklyn?

George touches base on some sports, but only mainly talks Braves. I don't listen to Hyams or much sports talk. I can get what I want from the internet without listening to the morons that call in to the talk shows. I'd rather listen to XM and my own music.
