92.9 Dave-FM to Become 92.9 The Game

"Wireless Wednesday" will go on hiatus for the time being as Dave-FM as it turns into 92.9 The Game, going all sports talk.  Atlanta radio is in a constant state of change.

92.9 The Game was announced today as was this info on Talkers Magazine

Set to debut in mid-October, CBS Radio’s new FM sports talk outlet – the soon-to-be-former Triple A WZGC, Atlanta will take the handle “SportsRadio 92.9 The Game.” Media chatter around Atlanta is that the station may reveal its lineup as early as next week in order to give the sales staff something concrete to pitch to clients prior to the launch. Earlier media reports alluded to the possibility that “Two Live Stews” Doug and Ryan Stewart – recently dropped from crosstown WQXI “790 The Zone” – might pop up on the station but TALKERS sources indicate that will not be the case. The programming philosophy we’re hearing about for this station is being termed as “fresh.” Stay tuned!

Mark Tauscher Now Behind a Mic Instead of Protecting a QB

Former Green Bay Packers offensive tackle Mark Tauscher has joined the Packers Radio Network as an analyst. Tauscher will give insight on the network's pre- and post-game shows and on the Packers TV network for pre-game analysis this season.

It's a natural fit.  Tauscher is a former University of Wisconsin player and one of the most popular Packer players in recent memory.  It will be interesting to see how he does.

Heavy Hundred of Sports Talk Generates Record Hits

The recently published Heavy Hundred of Sports Talk – The 100 Most Important Sports Talk Radio Hosts in America, has generated so much traffic to Talkers.com that – at times – navigation on the site slowed to a crawl, forcing the IT staff at Talkers.com to increase the site’s bandwidth to accommodate the visitors. 

This massive interest in America’s sports talk radio personalities is indicative of the format’s popularity with both consumers and from within the media industry.  TALKERS VP/managing editor Kevin Casey states, “Sports talk radio is off-the-charts popular in so many markets across the country – reflecting the importance of sports in American popular culture. 

The interest in the Heavy Hundred of Sports Talk from people working within the business is one thing, but the attention from consumers of sports talk and the rabid sports blogosphere is astounding.  The passion that exists for the format, the personalities, as well as the games and athletes themselves.
