Matter is the shite, and I think him moving east will make a big difference. However, in this world of waning print media viewership/subscriptions, the sports talk radio world is kind, and I think that's where Mizzou fails. I'm not in the markets, so I'm not sure, but it seems like Mizzou should have a much better "homerism" factor than it does considering the journalism and broadcast journalism school.


First, online stuff probably is just as big as radio these days and Matter has been updating his blog regularly. Second, the sports radio in STL is an ever changing landscape. The FM sports channel(ESPN) sucks. It is all pro coverage all the time. KFNS, where I think Cusamano is, is no longer a sports station, but man talk that includes some sports. For example, Bubba the Love Sponge has the morning drive time I think. Some sportscasters/radio guys and maybe others had wanted to buy their own station and I think they have. 920 is a brand new station and that is where Matter contributes along with Gabe. I've had trouble picking up their signal and even streaming them. Hopefully they pick up signal strength and pick up steam before the season because its a format change for them going to sports.

That's really weird. I assumed sports talk was picking up everywhere. Hell, even in Vegas we have a great ESPN station that's on AM that just moved to a simulcast on FM with 8 hours of local programming in addition to a Fox Sports with local stuff and a couple other fringe stations with local programming. We got at least three hours of UNLV coverage during basketball season, and nobody gives a shite about UNLV

We don't even have pro sports. I'm sure STL will pick it up soon. It seems like sports talk is really gaining steam.

Then again, there's 2 million people betting on pro and college sports every day, so it may be a bigger sports town than it seems.
