    So it looks like we're gonna have another sports radio station in town. Frankly I think this is a good thing. I don't think the morning crew of Darren McFarland and Brad Hopkins is going to get me to swith from Mark, Frank and Kevin, but as long as they don't bring over that clown Tom Abraham from 560 to do the afternoon show, it'd be great to have an alternative to Plaster (I just don't get why Nashville seems to like this guy so much).

    I'd guess this will become the flagship station of the Predators, since it's the same company that owns 102.9 The Buzz, which aired the Preds last year.

    Options are always a good thing. I agree with you, Plaster's show is a snooze-fest (aside from the John McClain segments). It's amazing how it seems like you are listening to the same exact show... Every. Single. Day. George and Willie both seem like very nice guys. And they do have radio talent. They just don't have enough combined charisma to carry a show. They need a big personality and/or an ex-player to offer up a different perspective. Their show was never my favorite, but it did lose something when they let go of Darren McFarland IMO.

    I was surprised when they let McFarland go. If I remember correctly it was a cost cutting move then a few weeks later they had the horrible 3 hour lunch show. I thought Rome's show sucked but the 3 hour lunch is worse

    Nobody can compete with The Three Hour Lunch!

    Three fingers in the air.

    Hopefully they will put on strong afternoon show. Plaster's voice puts me to sleep. Snooze fest. Especially when he goes on hour long rants about baseball.

    I'm not a huge fan of 3 Hour Lunch and Travis is a blowhard Jim Rome wanna be that isn't near as cool, hip and funny as he thinks he is...but it is a show with some juice. Plaster is the same thing every day...George "let me talk bad about myself so others can tell me how great I am" Plaster. No personality.

    I like the 3HL. I agree Clay can be d-bag and I'm not entirely convinced he believes everything that comes out of his mouth. Still, he doesn't really bother me. Love Blaine for obvious reasons. And Brent is a much needed voice of reason from time to time.

    I think they have a very interesting dynamic going on with the three of them. There's a lot of things you can say about that show. But "it's boring" isn't one of them. They have a lot of good, unique conversation. And it's refreshing to have a show that isn't completely up the Titans butt. They were the only Zone program putting Fisher's feet to the fire last season.

    Anybody from the Knoxville area? Absolute garbage sports radio there. 1180 and sports animal suck terribly. Lived there for years.

    Garbage sports journalism period. TV, newspaper and radio.

    Basilio, Rucker, Hymes or whatever his name is... ugh. All suck.

    Hardly even able to follow them on Twitter.

    Nashville FM stinks and always has..
    We had (still have) a show in SoFlo called The Love Doctors which partial sports by default - because it was an "anything goes" call in show. Best talk format ever, hands down.

    Ugh... George Plaster is the WORST.

    Maybe he'd be a good producer or something... but he, no THEY, need to remove him from being on-air.

    Simply horrible.

    I honestly don't know anyone that likes him... remotely.
