The Tony Basilio Show

[Brave Volunteer]

Does anyone know why his show hasn't been on since Tuesday? I thought it was strange.that he didnt even have anyone filling in for him. No Basketball Overtime show after Colorado State either. Is everything ok with him and the show?

I dont think Tony does an Overtime show for womens basketball, and the women played Colorado State. If you read his blog, he mentions its has been a rough personal week for him.

I've been listening to TB on and off for 20 years it seems. He always seems to be on the edge of being off the air. I honestly don't know how he makes a living in broadcasting. Hopefully his stock market nest egg is doing well.

The show has been on this week. I've listened every day on lunch break. Tony was out but Beano hosted the last couple of days.

Weird. I usually get both a YouTube and Periscope notification when the show comes on but I got nothing. This week.

Tony runs the Periscope/YouTube. When he's out, Beano sticks to radio/podcasts only.

Weird because I've listened plenty of times on Periscope when Beano hosted in the past.

He said he is dealing with family issues this week.

Listening to Beano yesterday, Tony is nursing an illness or something. Tony was supposed to have a recruiting “x” cast yesterday, so it wasn’t a planned absence.

Tony’s presence is growing, not shrinking. Relying on the app rather than station managers has been a good move for him.

He should be back today

Then I may be mistaken or Beano may not want to interrupt since the show is now streamed from Tony's house. I've been wrong before.

I am a huge fan of Tony B. Never have understood all the negativity on here against him.

I had no idea that 990am had so many employees who posted here.

Tony's wife was in the hospital for a couple of days with a real health scare apparently. She's fine now, but Beano and Brian took over for the days he was out. I listened yesterday and Tony is back in the seat today.

Absolutely. His app allows him so much latitude vs. traditional radio. 5th quarter fan reaction is the best thing on radio after a game. I've always thought Tony was very entertaining. He's a helluva good guy too.

Tony has been doing his own thing for a while. He doesn’t work for a radio station. He’s completely independent and buys the air time. I’d say most his listeners are off the app. He has a lot more than you think, as well as loyal advertisers. His problem was always with radio stations that weren’t committed to a sports format.

That and he wasn't going to sugar coat anything. State run radio here in Knoxville can't handle that and the big money didn't like being called out. They've tried very hard through their influence to marginalize him.

Basilio all day everyday! Great entertainment at least. I can’t stomach 99.1 and the jimmy Hyams LSU report and his tennis reports, so damn lame

I'm aware, as I mentioned I've followed him for many years through all of his various formats.

Love some Tony B. Dude isn't afraid to go 20hrs+ on air. Try getting that from anyone else on radio . His app is great for us fans that live behind enemy lines in alabama.
