Clear Channel to launch Sports on WINZ 940

It was reported in the Miami Herald a week ago that Clear Channel would flip WINZ -940 back to sports. It was originally a sports talk station from 2001-2004 before flipping to Liberal Talk.

Well, at first you don't succeed try try again.

The first incarnation was billed 940 Fox Sports and the call letters were actually WRFX.

It's lineup included only 1 show that was considered original programming. That show was veteran sports talker Jorge Sedano (WAXY-Miami) in afternoon drive. Their morning show was a time buy (should that surprise anyone CC making a money grab???), hosted by Carl Foster (unemployed) & Anita Marks (ESPN Radio Baltimore PMDr host). The rest of the lineup was supplemented by Jim Rome & Fox Sports Radio.

The current incarnation which looks to hit the airwaves either 4/13 or 4/20 will have a mix of syndication at first.

6am-9am: ESPN's Mike & Mike in the Morning

9am-Noon: Dan Patrick Show

Noon-3pm: Jim Rome Show

3pm-7pm - Fox Sports Radio's Chris Myers Show or some possible local programming

(Jeff DeForrest (WFTL) or Sid Rosenberg (formerly WAXY & WFAN) -UNLIKELY at the start b/c CC won't want to spend money. Though, I doubt CC would employ DeForrest since, he admitted to paying a Miccosukee Indian Gaming marketing director kickbacks in 2002. All to ensure he got the contract to broadcast television shows from its Tamiami Trail casino. DeForrest was arrested for the incident. Meanwhile, Rosenberg has a non compete of 6 months since being ousted at WAXY-790.

7pm-10pm - FSR's Petros & Money ( a good Los Angeles show a terrible national show based out of KLAC-LA)

10pm-2am- FSR's veteran sports talker JT The Brick

2am-6am - FSR's Sports Soup (Some concoction VP Don Martin thought was a good idea. Where they replay the best segements of the day. Sounds like teh cure for insomnia).

So, that's the scoop on WINZ - 940. No word on what their moniker is yet. I would guess on something like 940 The Animal or something REAL ORIGINAL like that.
